Hybrid dryer for agriculture and industrial applications
In many sectors, including agriculture and the timber industry, drying processes are crucial. Efficient and environmentally friendly drying technologies are needed to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions, while maintaining the quality of the product.
Combine renewable and fossil fuels for efficient drying
The hybrid dryer by Stela Laxhuber is designed to offer flexibility in fuel sources, combining renewable energies with fossil fuels for cost-effective and sustainable drying. This system can be adapted to various applications, from drying maize grain in agriculture to processing fibers and OSB strands in the timber industry. The use of alternative fuels, such as biomass, wood chips, and waste heat from biogas plants or power stations, reduces the need for fossil fuels, diminishing CO2 emissions. Moreover, the hybrid dryer features low maintenance requirements and easy operation, making it practical for different production environments. It ensures energy savings and consistent drying performance, supporting processes in industries like foodstuffs, pet food, pulp and paper, pellets, and even water management, for drying urban sewage sludge.
