Product Features & Advantages – Vertical Veneer (Wood Chip) Dryer

• Low Equipment Cost
  The purchase cost is only one-third of a roller-type dryer for the same output capacity.

• Small Footprint
  Uses vertical loading, requiring only one-third the floor space compared to roller dryers.

• High Thermal Efficiency & Low Drying Cost
  Paired with our energy-saving and eco-friendly heat source system, and thanks to  the unique hot air circulation layout, the drying output can be increased by 30% to 80%.

• Fast Loading, High Capacity
  The vertical dryer features a quick-install structure, allowing fast and large-volume loading of wood chips. This helps reduce labor and lower production costs, while boosting output.

• Efficient Hot Air Circulation
  Hot air volume is strong and evenly distributed across all sections. The counterflow drying system ensures fast and uniform drying quality.
  According to user data, the higher the drying volume, the lower the energy consumption per unit.

 Notes:

1. 1. Customizable Size

      • Equipment dimensions can be customized based on the actual size of the user’s veneer or wood chips.

   2. Flexible Heat Source Options

      • Compatible with our hot air furnaces, or can be designed for steam, thermal oil, gas, or diesel according to customer requirements.

Comparison: Roller Veneer Dryer vs Vertical Veneer Dryer (Same Drying Capacity)

1. Price Advantage

   • The vertical veneer dryer is significantly more affordable than the roller dryer, offering a clear price advantage.

2. Lower Energy Consumption

   • The vertical dryer consumes less electricity, requires no cooling system, and has lower heat loss, resulting in better energy efficiency.

3. No Veneer Jamming

   • The vertical dryer does not jam boards, while roller dryers are more prone to blockages and even fire hazards due to overheating or material buildup.

4. Simple Structure & Easy Maintenance

   • Vertical dryers have a simpler structure, are easier to operate, and more convenient to inspect and repair.

5. Improved Flatness Performance

   • In the past, roller dryers produced slightly flatter veneers. However, with our ongoing technical improvements, the flatness from vertical dryers is now nearly equal to that of roller dryers.

 Conclusion:

Considering cost, energy efficiency, safety, and ease of use, the vertical veneer dryer offers better overall value for money.
