Büttner up close: drying technologies and energy systems for the global market

From combination burners to drum dryers – we deliver quality

The Büttner Energie- und Trocknungstechnik GmbH has a long and storied tradition: August Büttner founded the company in 1874 in Krefeld. Büttner has now become an internationally leading supplier of energy plants, burner systems, dryer systems and environmental technology. As a member of the Siempelkamp Group, Büttner takes care of engineering, delivery, assembly, commissioning and after-sales service of systems for industrial customers from around the world. Büttner facilities are at the highest technical level and perform reliably and efficiently. Developed and implemented on an individual basis, we customise our drying systems and energy systems for each commission and to the needs of the customer. The combination of years of technical expertise and extraordinary innovation at Büttner is the basis for success in such sectors as the wood-based panels, pellet and sugar industries. 

The committed team of engineers and service personnel accompanies its customers across the globe throughout the entire life cycle of the plants and also undertakes modernisations, conversions, performance upgrades and servicing performances on existing energy plants, all makes of burner systems and drying plants as well as purification systems for waste air and waste gas. 


For the customer, this means that:

Büttner's drying systems and energy systems are always running at the highest levels of efficiency and reliability, which enables an optimal return on investment. The proof is in the more than 2,000 Büttner-built facilities around the world.

Gentle and even drying of wood-based materials

For decades, manufacturers in the wood-based panel industry have relied on Büttner's 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.


Suitable dryers:

Flash Tube DryersRotary Drum Dryers


Fuel production with BÜTTNER Energy systems and single-pass drum dryers

Wood pellets are in fashion as fuel for private homes and industrial firing systems.
The rod-like pellets are produced mainly out of wood wastes from saw and planing mills, as well as from debarked and shredded logs. BÜTTNER‘s drying systems ensure that wood chips are dried efficiently with energy savings in mind and at the required moisture level before they are made into pellets.


Suitable dryers:

Rotary Drum Dryers


Dried efficiently in BÜTTNER‘s flash tube dryers

Pulp is a lignocellulosic fibrous material prepared by chemically or mechanically separating cellulose fibers from wood, fiber crops or waste paper. Pulp is the major raw material used in papermaking and the industrial production of other paper products.


Suitable dryers:

Flash Tube Dryers


Extend the shelf life with drying

Global demand for food and feed is expected to increase dramatically in the coming decades as a consequence of the rapid population growth, rising incomes and changing consumption patterns, especially in emerging economies. The last years have continued to see an increase in the demand for animal protein worldwide, including for livestock, dairy and fish.

High quality thanks to BÜTTNER‘s flash tube dryer technology

Starch is a carbohydrate extracted from agricultural raw materials, which is present in thousands of everyday food and non-food applications. 
It is the most important carbohydrate in the human diet.

BÜTTNER‘S drying systems and energy systems, a combined solution

The utilisation of renewable raw materials is attracting ever more attention and the application of biomass as a fuel is now commonplace. Bark, waste from the wood industry, from roadside maintenance and from landscaping, as well as agricultural wastes such as straw or palm fibres serve as fuel. All materials have one thing in common: in most cases their water content must be significantly reduced before they can be used for energy.


Suitable dryers:

Rotary Drum Dryers


Single-pass drum dryers and other drying systems for free-flowing materials

Free-flowing bulk solids represent very different challenges to the drying process because of their heterogeneous nature. Wood particles, beet pulp and other biomass products are processed differently from fertiliser, soil, fodder or coal. Based on decades of experience with a variety of materials, BÜTTNER has established a comprehensive spectrum of drying solutions and related thermal energy systems.
