Belt dryer for timber industry
Optimize moisture removal and ensure consistent drying in your production line with advanced belt drying technology, designed to handle diverse materials from food to timber efficiently.
Removes Moisture and Enhances Product Quality
The Belt Dryer Type BT from STELA Laxhuber is engineered to excel in moisture removal across various industries, such as agriculture, timber, and recycling. This modular system stands out with its efficient air distribution, utilizing direct-coupled and frequency-controlled multi-vent radial fans for precise control. The equipment operates by flowing heated air through an air-permeable belt, removing moisture effectively in a controlled manner. It is suitable for applications ranging from drying sawdust and OSB strands to preparing food products like dehydrated vegetables and granola.
Offering throughputs from 200 kg to 60 t of water per hour, the BT dryer is designed for continuous operation and maximum efficiency. It features top-down ventilation and is capable of operating at extreme temperatures down to -40°C. The enclosed design not only ensures effective insulation but also makes this dryer adaptable for external setups. For environmentally conscious operations, this dryer can integrate exhaust air heat recovery to reduce energy consumption.
With corrosion-resistant materials, the system promises longevity and reliability, and STELA provides customization options to fit specific drying requirements, including airflow configurations and belt widths from 2 to 8.4 meters. Whether processing solid or granular products, this dryer meets rigorous industrial demands, supported by engineering assistance from STELA to tailor the solution to your precise needs.
