Four Deck Veneer Dryer Ready for Romania Customer

Shine Delivers 4-Deck 40m Roller Veneer Dryer with Thermal Oil Heating, Passes SGS Inspection

In a significant milestone for its global wood processing solutions, Shine Machinery has successfully completed the production of a state-of-the-art 4-deck 40-meter roller veneer dryer, optimized for thermal oil heating. After a month of intensive manufacturing and quality checks, the equipment has undergone rigorous inspection by an SGS auditor, who confirmed its compliance with international standards and expressed full confidence in its drying technology.

2 Month-Long Production: Precision Engineering for Industrial Excellence

The production process, spanning 8 weeks, involved meticulous planning, precision machining, and systematic assembly to ensure the dryer met both design specifications and customer requirements. Shine’s engineering team focused on two critical aspects:

1. Thermal Oil Heating Integration: The dryer is equipped with an advanced thermal oil heating system, chosen for its ability to maintain stable, uniform temperatures (140–180°C) across the 4-deck drying chamber. This system minimizes energy waste and ensures consistent moisture removal, a key factor in producing high-quality veneers with 8–10% target moisture content.

2. Automation Enhancements: To streamline operations, the dryer features an automatic loading system (capable of handling 500kg/hour of green veneer) and a semi-automatic unloading system (reducing manual labor by 40% compared to fully manual models). These systems work in tandem to maintain continuous production flow, even during peak demand.

SGS Inspection: Validation of Quality and Reliability

To affirm the dryer’s performance and safety, Shine invited SGS, a globally recognized inspection agency, to conduct on-site evaluation. The audit covered:

• Mechanical Integrity: Verification of structural stability, component durability (e.g., roller bearings, conveyor belts), and adherence to ISO 13849 safety standards.

• Operational Efficiency: Testing of heating uniformity, drying cycle times (target: 45–60 minutes per batch), and energy consumption (measured against industry benchmarks).

• Environmental Compliance: Assessment of thermal oil leakage risks and emission levels, ensuring alignment with local environmental regulations.

SGS lead inspector Mr. Wilson Tang noted, “The dryer’s thermal oil system demonstrated exceptional temperature control, with a deviation of less than 2°C across all decks. The automated loading/unloading mechanisms also showed remarkable reliability, with zero jams during 12 hours of continuous testing. Shine’s attention to detail in both design and manufacturing is evident.”

Customer Confidence: A Testament to Shine’s Expertise

The customer, a leading plywood manufacturer in Southeast Asia, expressed satisfaction with the outcome: “We needed a dryer that could handle our high-volume veneer production while maintaining strict quality. Shine’s 4-deck 40m model, with its thermal oil heating and automation, exceeds our expectations. The SGS approval gives us confidence to integrate it into our production line immediately.”
