Shine Machinery’s Economy Vertical Veneer Dryer: Compact, Efficient Drying for Small-Scale Wood Processing
Designed by Shine Machinery in 2009, the Economy Vertical Veneer Dryer is a horizontal drying device tailored for small-scale processing needs. Centered on a two-way conveying principle, it excels in woodworking and other material drying applications, balancing efficiency, cost, and practicality.
The dryer operates through a streamlined closed-loop process:
Feeding: Operators manually place wood veneers onto the upper grate of the feed port. Veneers stand vertically on the grate, ensuring even initial distribution.
Conveying & Flipping: The veneers move steadily toward the discharge end. At the tail section, a special chain-type flipping mechanism gently transfers them to the lower grate.
Discharging: Finally, the dried veneers exit from the head discharge port.
This design ensures uniform material distribution, with a hot air drying cycle of approximately 40 minutes. In a single batch, it can process 450–500 pieces of 1.27m×0.64m veneers, making it ideal for batch processing demands.
The dryer is equipped with an adjustable hot air circulation system that optimizes drying by regulating:
Air volume,
Heating temperature,
Material residence time,
Feeding speed.
A unique air distribution device aligns hot air flow with process requirements, while an adjustable temperature range (100–130℃) guarantees stable drying quality for veneers.
Cost-effectiveness is a defining feature:
Fuel Flexibility: The built-in combustion furnace burns waste materials from rotary cutters and log splitters, such as wood chips, blocks, and branches—turning waste into energy. This reduces reliance on traditional fuel sources (e.g., coal, gas) and slashes fuel costs.
Compact Footprint: With a small footprint of just 20m×4m, the dryer minimizes space requirements.
Low Labor Input: Minimal manual intervention further reduces operational costs.
While the dryer is designed for specific veneer sizes (as specified during development), its vertical flipping structure maximizes space utilization and reduces manual labor. This makes it a cost-effective drying solution for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), balancing cost, efficiency, and stable output—key priorities for businesses seeking reliable, affordable material drying.
In summary, Shine Machinery’s Economy Vertical Veneer Dryer combines practical engineering with economic efficiency, delivering a robust solution for small-scale wood processing needs.
