Veneer dryer is one of the main equipment in the production process of veneer

In the production of veneer and plywood, the veneer dryer stands as a cornerstone equipment, directly determining the quality of end products. As a key player in modern wood processing, Shine Machinery’s veneer dryer combines advanced technology with user-centric design to deliver reliable, high-performance drying solutions. Here’s a detailed look at its features and working principles.

Core Principle: Efficient, Uniform Drying

The veneer dryer operates on a scientifically validated principle: wet veneer is clamped between upper and lower rolls, preheated, and dried through direct contact with heated rolls. These rolls are heated via steam, heat conduction oil, or hot blast furnaces, transferring thermal energy efficiently to the veneer. This direct thermal contact minimizes heat loss, ensures uniform heating, and mimics natural wood contraction—a benign physical process that results in:

• Consistent Moisture Content: Dried veneer maintains uniform moisture levels (0.3–5.0mm thickness compatible).

• Superior Surface Quality: Smooth, mark-free surfaces with preserved wood color and internal-external consistency.

• Reduced Defects: Minimized cracking, bending, or deformation.

• System Breakdown: Precision Engineering for Optimal Performance

Drying System

Equipped with a centrifugal fan, the machine injects hot air from a stove directly into upper and lower bellows. This hot air is then blown through nozzles onto both sides of the moving veneer, ensuring even heating and efficient moisture evaporation.

Transmission System

Planed veneer is fed longitudinally through the inlet. Upper and lower roller rows, driven by chains, move relative to each other. The self-pressure between rollers propels the veneer forward, while simultaneous passage over rollers and air nozzles achieves both drying and ironing effects—guaranteeing smooth, flawless output.

Control System

Operators can adjust the feed speed based on veneer thickness and moisture content, tailoring the process to achieve ideal drying results.

Heating System

Flexible heating options include steam, heat conduction oil, or hot blast furnaces, allowing users to select the most suitable method based on their energy resources and production needs.

Technical Specifications & Customization

• Inlet Width: Adjustable from 1.35m to 3m to accommodate diverse production line requirements.
