Low-emission belt dryer for timber industry
In the timber industry, reducing emissions while drying fibers, chips, and OSB strands is a critical challenge. Existing drying solutions often fail to meet low-emission standards, creating inefficiencies and environmental concerns. Enhanced energy recovery can significantly address these issues.
Maximize drying efficiency with energy recovery
The Belt Dryer type BTU RecuDry® from Stela Laxhuber is a cutting-edge drying solution tailored for the timber industry. This system consists of two modules: the Recu module and the condensation module. The Recu module achieves optimal saturation through air circulation and reheating, while the condensation module utilizes predominantly latent energy to pre-heat fresh air, resulting in maximum drying efficiency. With energy savings of 35 – 55%, depending on the drying surface area, and reduced exhaust airflows and emissions, this dryer is both efficient and environmentally friendly. The system’s air-to-air heat exchanger is a key feature, allowing significant energy recovery. Existing drying systems can be easily retrofitted to incorporate the RecuDry® system.
