Dryers 2009: eleven system start-ups –
nine new orders
Dryers: custom-made solutions
2,000 drying systems installed worldwide demonstrate a distinguished market
representation. The scope of supply includes fl ash tube dryers for fi bers as well as
directly and indirectly heated drum dryers for particles and strands as well as sugar
beet shavings. For industrial drying on a large scale, we offer single-stage and 2-stage
fi ber fl ash tube dryers. Our customers benefi t from energy savings and a reduction of
the exhaust air. In-house developed heating systems and burners as well as automation
systems according to the latest technology complement our drying systems.
Our service strategy is also based on an integral approach. Our services range from
the planning and construction of individual dryer systems, to the delivery of the
component parts and the economic manufacture of large components close to
their fi nal destination, such as drums, to the installation and start-up as the
completion to many successful projects.
In 2009 many orders were successfully completed. A total of
eight single-path drum dryers were started up in the particleboard
plants of our customers Pfl eiderer Prospan (Poland),
Fibraplac and Satipel in Brazil, Riba (Indonesia), Egger St. Johann
(Austria) and Egger Rion-des-Landes (France), Yildiz Sunta
(Turkey) and Sheksna (Russia) of which six were accepted by the
customers. At the MDF plants of our customers Duratex (Brazil)
and Yildiz Entegre (Turkey), a fi ber dryer each started operation
whereas the dryer for Duratex is the largest type ever built with a
drying capacity of 97 t/h bone dry. At Egger St. Pölten in Austria
we started up a third indirectly heated drum dryer to replace an
older model.

Many different customer demands lead to individually customized
solutions. In 2009 our customers ordered a total of fi ve singlepath
drum dryers, three fi ber dryers and one coal dryer which
were all custom orders. Within the scope of an order for SPF from
Indonesia we will supply the core components and the engineering
for the fl ue-gas heated fi ber dryer.
Guodong in China ordered two fi ber dryers for which we supplied
the core components and the manufacturing drawings.
The complete Siempelkamp plant concept for our new customer
JSC Ivatsevichdrev from the Republic of Belarus is complemented
by a complete single-path drum dryer for particles. Regarding the
heating system, the customer decided for a combination of burner
and energy plant.
We received our fi rst order from India: Star Panel Boards Ltd. is
using a used dryer, which will have to be adjusted to the conditions
of the new location, for the production of particleboard.
Here, the scope of supply includes the new main components
such as the burner, switch gear, drum internals as well as the
complete engineering including the documents the customer
would need to manufacture parts at the location. We received
three more orders for single-path drum dryers from Metro
(Thailand), Egger St. Johann (Austria) and Masisa (Chile).
A coal dryer completes the list of new orders received in 2009.
This dryer will be supplied to the German RAG in Ibbenbüren. The
company mines anthracite coal from approximately 1,500 m
deep within the ground. With the goal to raise the production
output, RAG ordered a plant for the drying of anthracite including
an exhaust air treatment system. The installation and start-up of
the equipment are scheduled for summer 2010.
