Belt dryer for sawdust
Optimize your drying process with advanced technology engineered for precise moisture reduction in diverse solid materials, ensuring consistent quality and energy efficiency across your production line.

Reduces Moisture and Enhances Product Quality
The Belt Dryer Type BTU from STELA Laxhuber is engineered to offer exceptional drying solutions for various industrial applications, including agriculture, timber, foodstuffs, and renewable fuels. Leveraging a versatile belt drying system, it ensures efficient moisture reduction through continuous ventilation processes, crucial for producing high-quality end products like vitamin-preserving dried vegetables, wood pellets, and SRF pellets. This dryer accommodates up to 36 tons per hour and features large access points for simplified maintenance. Its enclosed, insulated design permits installation in extreme temperatures, down to -40°C. With a focus on energy efficiency, the BTU reduces exhaust air and emission mass flows while optimizing thermal energy use. Integration into production lines is seamless, facilitated by options like top-down ventilation and even product distribution through double spreader screws. Constructed from durable materials, it is equipped for robust performance across diverse industries and product types. The solution supports customization, allowing tailored configurations to meet specific operational needs.
