Small Vertical Veneer Dryer for Core Veneers

Problem: Nature’s Limitations, Manufacturer’s Headaches

Natural sun-drying of veneers—common in regions like Côte d’Ivoire, Uganda, Myanmar, and Vietnam—leaves production at the mercy of the weather. Rain disrupts schedules, prolongs drying cycles, and risks mold or rehydration of veneers. For small-scale producers, this means lost revenue, wasted labor, and missed market opportunities.

Solution: Shine’s Vertical Veneer Dryer—Designed for Efficiency, Reliability, and Affordability

Shine Machinery’s Vertical Veneer Dryer is purpose-built to address these challenges. Here’s why it’s a game-changer:

1. Compact, Weather-Proof Design
At just 20 meters in length,  fits seamlessly into tight spaces—ideal for small factories or facilities with limited square footage. Its vertical stacking system enables simultaneous loading and unloading (infeed/outfeed alignment), eliminating idle time between batches. No more waiting for sunny days: this dryer operates 24/7, regardless of weather.

2. Self-Sufficient Thermal System
Equipped with a built-in combustion furnace, leverages waste wood materials (e.g., offcuts, trimmings) as fuel—turning production waste into cost savings. This design slashes energy expenses by up to 40% compared to electric or oil-fired dryers, making it a budget-friendly choice for resource-conscious manufacturers.

3. Easy Operation, Minimal Labor
The vertical dryer requires just 2–3 workers to manage loading, monitoring, and unloading. Its intuitive interface and automated controls reduce training time, while modular components simplify installation—even in existing workshops. No need for heavy machinery or complex infrastructure: set up in hours, start drying in days.
