Veneer Drying Machine

Veneer dryer machine is a state-of-the-art equipment, it is used to remove excess moisture, this drum dryer can reduce the drying stage by 80% compared to the natural drying process. It uses heat and pressure to dry. The machine consists of multiple rollers that sandwich and compress the planks as hot air circulates within the device. This process removes moisture from the board, resulting in a dry, stable product that is easy to handle and use.

Faster Drying Times
They are known for their fast and consistent drying times, taking only a fraction of the time compared to traditional drying methods.

Improved Quality
The even distribution of heat and pressure in this equipment produces higher quality veneers. The pressure ensures that the boards do not warp or curl, while the heat dries them evenly, preventing any cracks or cracks from developing.

Reduce Energy Consumption
Compared with traditional drying methods, using a dryer can reduce energy consumption by up to 30%.

Improve Productivity
The boards produced by this equipment have faster drying times and stable quality, which can increase productivity and thus bring higher profits.

Customizable Settings
Most veneer dryers have customizable settings, allowing users to adjust temperature, humidity, and drying time to meet their specific needs.

There are many types veneer dryer, here we introduce several main models: roller type veneer dryer, breathing type veneer dryer, square tube veneer dryer and mesh type veneer dryer. The first three types are all core veneer dryer, the last one mesh dryer is face veneer dryer.

Veneer dryer is for drying peeled veneers,the machine has special heating coils. This dryer is ideal for drying wood veneers. The machine can dry veneers of various thickness and various moisture contents. The dryer is ideal for drying rotary cut and sliced veneers. It is specially designed highly energy efficient machine. Any wood species can be dried in this machine.

Mesh type veneer dryer is mainly used for drying face veneer, the most suitable drying veneer thickness is 0.1-1.5mm. For the thick veneer, it can still work, but working performance and productivity is not good. So you can find most face veneer, like birch, beech, Okume, etc will choose mesh veneer dryer.

Roller type veneer dryer. This type best working thickness is above 1.5mm, it is mainly used for core veneer drying. The core veneer will go through two rollers space, and the roller will press and drive the veneer moving, it will make the veneer more flat after drying. Roller type veneer dryer is suitable high capacity factory, the drying length and layer quantity are all customized according to customers' capacity request and workshop size. Of course, this roller dryer price is also higher compare with other models core veneer dryer, so it is good choice for high quality core veneer.

Breathing type veneer dryer, also called hot platen type veneer dryer, solid press veneer dryer, etc. It is like hot press machine. Because this type dryer has solid hot platen and pressure when it works, it can press core veneer very flat. For some thick core veneer which thickness more than 4mm, this breathing type core veneer is the best choice. And it is also very suitable for big size core veneer, like 4*4ft or 4*8ft. So this machine is widely used in Russia, Indonesia which peel big size core veneer. The mainly disadvantage of this machine is low capacity. One 15 layers breathing core veneer capacity is only about 1cbm/h, so for one veneer peeling line, you may need 2-3 sets breathing veneer dryer to fulfill the peeling capacity.

Square tube veneer dryer. It works like breathing type veneer dryer, but the whole machine frame and hot platen are all different. The hot platen is made by square tube instead of solid steel, so we also call it hollow type veneer dryer, and the machine pressure is very low so it can not press veneer to make it flat. However, the biggest advantage is its economic price. It is very suitable for some small factories or for some low quality core veneer dryer. One veneer peeling line need at least 3 sets square tube veneer dryer. Machine service life is also only 3-5 years. Normally some dry area will choose this model, customer can use sunshine dry veneer into half-dry, then use this dryer for further moisture remove.

The Feeding System
This is where the wet veneer sheets are fed into the dryer. The system usually consists of a conveyor belt, which carries the veneer sheets into the dryer. The belt speed can be adjusted based on the desired drying time.

The Heating Section
This is where heat is generated to dry the veneer sheets. The heating section is usually divided into several zones, each with its own heater, and the temperature can be set for each zone separately. This allows for the precise control of heat in different areas of the dryer.

The Circulation System
The circulation system is responsible for moving hot air through the dryer. The system consists of fans and ducts that push hot air over the veneer sheets. By blowing hot air over the surfaces of the veneer sheets, moisture is evaporated from the sheets.

The Cooling Section
Once the veneer sheets have gone through the heating and circulation system, they are transported to the cooling section. The cooling section is responsible for reducing the temperature of the veneer sheets to the required level before they are removed from the dryer.
The entire process is fully automated, which means that it can be monitored and controlled remotely. Having a fully-automated system saves time and makes the production of veneer sheets more efficient.

In addition to drying veneers, they can also be used to dry other types of wood products, such as lumber and plywood. However, the machines must be adjusted to accommodate different types of wood products.

Veneer after drying will be used to process into a sheet, that is, plywood, veneer drying capacity of the veneer, will be related to the quality of the finished sheet, the degree of drying of the board will be late and hot It is necessary to control the moisture content of the veneer within the allowable range. Veneer dryer is the hot air blowing through the nozzle on the upper and lower sides of the board, you can make the board heat evenly to achieve the effect of drying. Drying at the same time does not affect the flatness of the plate. If the dry quality is not good, or dry on the veneer to produce a certain damage, will affect the late plywood production process.

Veneer dryer not only drying effect, and low heat loss, is the most economical and practical veneer drying equipment. The application of veneer dryer to improve the speed of drying veneer, it is fast drying speed, dry uniform effect is better by more and more users to use, but as a veneer dryer manufacturer, but also should enhance the performance of the product, Improve the quality of the product as a key to quality to win the user's reputation, to gain a reputation in the market, the user realized that the veneer dryer felt the important position in this area. The veneer is cut off by peeling machine, and the veneers are dried by veneer dryer.
