Drying wood-based materials with Siempelkamp Energy & Drying Solutions
For decades, manufacturers in the wood-based panel industry have relied on our proven technologies.
In particular, the gentle and uniform drying of raw materials such as wood fibers, OSB strands, or wood chips represents the core competence. This is complemented by the use of various burners and the utilization of Büttner's energy systems for the efficient provision of process heat.
Alternative raw materials such as rice straw for fiberboard, bamboo for particleboard production or bagasse as residual material from sugar cane processing are also treated in Siempelkamp Energy & Drying Solutions dryers.
Single-pass drum dryers, tube bundle dryers (rotary dryer), tube drum dryers and flash dryers are well suited to dry the various feedstocks in this industry.
Dried efficiently in flash tube dryers
A preferred material for furniture, flooring or ceiling panelling: medium-density fibreboards (MDF) are in use around the world. Their quality depends on proper production.
Siempelkamp Energy & Drying Solutions supplies the wood -based panels industry with energy systems, drying systems and burners, which ensure that wood fibres are quickly and efficiently dried, before they are pressed.
Drying OSB strands with single-pass drum dryers
Once called wafer boards, everyone has heard of the OSB boards used in construction and packaging; long, thin flakes (strands) from debarked logs are layered and then pressed into large boards.
The wood-based panel industry‘s modern, highly-efficient presses require a source material which exhibits a permanent uniform degree of moisture.
High quality standards thanks to our flash tube pre-dryers and drum dryers
Particle boards have a special place among wood-based materials. They were traditionally, and are still to this day, used to a great extent in furniture production.
Chipped waste wood, wood thinnings and recovered wood are the raw materials used to produce particle boards in the wood industry. For particle board production, wood flakes are glued, sorted according to size and then pressed; the larger flakes form the middle layer and fine flakes the hard surface.
Flash tube dryer and energy system, an efficient combination
Wood fibre insulation is commonly used in home construction, either as wood fibre insulating boards (soft fibreboards) or as blow-in insulation. Because of its low density and thermal conductivity, wood fibre insulation serves as a heat insulator for roofs, outer walls, inner walls and floors.
