Background: Abundant Forest Resources
Thailand is rich in forest resources, with a forest coverage rate of approximately 31% (around 164,000 square kilometers), mainly concentrated in the mountainous areas of the north and west. In recent years, the Thai government has been actively promoting sustainable forestry development and encouraging plantation forestry to meet the growing demand for wood processing.
Today, plantation-grown timber has become the primary raw material for the wood industry. Common fast-growing commercial species include rubberwood, acacia, and eucalyptus, which are widely used in the production of plywood, particleboard, and other engineered wood panels.
Customer Case: TCC WOOD Introduces Efficient Roller Veneer Drying System
TCC WOOD is a Thailand-based wood processing company specializing in the peeling and drying of rubberwood and eucalyptus veneer, with a daily capacity of 80 cubic meters. As their business expanded, the company looked for a more efficient, energy-saving, and stable veneer drying system to boost productivity and reduce operating costs.
Project Requirements:
- Initial moisture content: ~50%
- Target moisture content: 10%
- Daily output target: 80 cubic meters of veneer
- Energy preference: Use waste wood as fuel to minimize energy costs
Our Solution:
Based on the material properties and production goals, we recommended a customized setup:
- One 38-meter double-deck roller veneer dryer, known for high output, excellent thermal efficiency, and uniform drying performance;
- A 2-meter-long wood-burning furnace as a heat source, replacing a traditional boiler and using the factory’s own wood waste as fuel—achieving energy saving, emission reduction, and resource recycling.
On-Site Visit & Project Results
The owner of TCC WOOD, Mr. Somchai, personally visited our factory in China for an on-site inspection. He gave high praise for the following:
- Overall scale and management of the factory
- High-quality workmanship and solid equipment design
- Professional and experienced technical team
- Proven overseas installation and after-sales service system
After thorough evaluation, Mr. Somchai confirmed the order on the spot for one 38-meter double-deck roller dryer system.
Installation & Operation Results: High Efficiency and Stable Performance Earn Customer Recognition
During the project implementation phase, we followed a strict production and delivery schedule, ensuring that the equipment was manufactured within two months. Our technical team completed on-site installation and commissioning in 30 days. With close collaboration between our team and the customer, the installation was smooth and efficient, and the system was successfully put into production.
✅ Stable Operation with Minimal Downtime
Since commissioning, the roller dryer has demonstrated excellent mechanical stability and reliable control performance. The system operates quietly, with low vibration and user-friendly controls. Since startup, the equipment has run with almost zero fault alarms, reflecting the high-precision manufacturing and robust design. After a brief training session, local operators were able to operate and maintain the system with ease.
✅ Consistent Drying Quality with Excellent Uniformity
On-site monitoring shows that veneer moisture content is consistently maintained around the target level of 10%, with minimal variation between batches. Common issues such as jamming, over-drying, cracking, and edge curling have not occurred. The uniform drying effect significantly enhances product quality and ensures downstream gluing and pressing processes meet high standards—providing a solid foundation for the customer to upgrade product grade and ensure supply stability.
✅ Efficient Biomass Furnace Reduces Energy Costs
The integrated 2-meter wood-burning furnace uses recycled wood waste as fuel, effectively replacing traditional diesel or coal-fired boilers. This not only significantly reduces fuel costs, but also enables the recycling of factory wood residues. In real-world operation, the furnace demonstrates high combustion efficiency and stable heat output, playing a key role in meeting the customer’s energy-saving and emission-reduction goals.
✅ High Customer Satisfaction & Plans for Further Cooperation
Following installation, Mr. Somchai, owner of TCC WOOD, expressed strong satisfaction with the equipment’s performance. He stated that the 38-meter double-deck roller dryer exceeded expectations in terms of production capacity, product quality, energy efficiency, and ease of operation. Encouraged by the success of this project, Mr. Somchai is now evaluating plans to expand production capacity and looks forward to deepening cooperation in the next project phase.
This successful installation once again proves our technical strength and engineering capability in delivering high-capacity, energy-efficient wood drying solutions. We remain committed to developing smarter, more reliable drying systems tailored to the needs of wood processing enterprises around the world.
