Low-emission belt dryer for timber industry
Achieve maximum drying efficiency and significant energy savings in your processing line with an advanced belt dryer that integrates energy recovery through a dual-module design, ensuring optimal air circulation and reduced emissions.
Reduces Moisture and Recovers Heat Efficiently
The Belt Dryer BTU RecuDry® from STELA Laxhuber sets a new standard in industrial drying by effectively reducing energy consumption and emissions. This equipment features a dual-zone drying process, leveraging both the Recu and condensation modules to utilize energy-rich air and maximize heat recovery. Ideal for drying a range of solid, powder, and granule forms, it supports industries including agriculture, timber, food processing, pet food, pulp and paper, pellet production, cement manufacturing, renewable fuels, recycling, and water management. Capable of processing up to 14.8 tons per hour, it ensures continuous, low-temperature, and efficient moisture reduction, making it perfect for diverse applications such as drying grains, wood chips, pet food, and sewage sludge pellets. Integrated with a PLC-controlled system, it allows seamless adaptation into existing production lines and offers energy savings between 35% to 55%. Constructed for durability, the dryer is engineered to retrofit existing systems with ease, enhancing efficiency and operational performance without compromising on material integrity or compliance standards.
