Energy-Saving Tips for Veneer Dryers
Veneer dryers use a lot of energy, especially for heating and electricity. To lower costs and use less energy, some smart changes have been made to the dryers:
1. Better Heat Exchangers:
Replacing old round heat tubes with oval or rectangular ones gives more surface area for heat transfer. This helps the dryer work more efficiently and reduces steam usage.
2. Upgraded Fans:
The old fans have been replaced with better centrifugal fans that move more air, work more efficiently, and use less power.
3. Automatic Humidity Control:
Now, an automatic system keeps the air humidity just right by controlling the exhaust air. This helps save energy by reducing unnecessary air exhaust.
4. Moisture Content Display:
There’s a new system that automatically checks the moisture level of the veneer. It uses infrared to measure moisture and displays the results. This stops over-drying, saving both energy and material.
5. Improved Spray Box:
A new spray box design spreads air more evenly across the veneer. This speeds up the drying process and uses less energy.
