Veneer Drying Line R3 – The easy to install and operate standard

The Veneer Drying Line R3 is your choice when you are starting industrial veneer drying for hardwood or softwood, or replacing an old drying line with manual feeding and stacking with an automated solution. It is easily installed on rails on a flat floor, saving significantly on installation costs since no special foundations are needed. 

Switching from natural drying to industrial veneer drying means 80% less operators are needed for the job, making your production more efficient. The dryer handles full-sized veneer sheets, giving 15% more yield compared to natural drying processes. 

Replacing a manual drying line with an automated solution means 50% less operators are needed to run the line. 

The line’s capacity is up to 60 feeds per minute, and the number of dryer decks and their width are selected to fit your needs. 

Standard grayscale veneer visual and moisture analyzers can be installed on the line to grade the dry sheets for optimal processing and end-product use.   

Also, the R3 series dryer with 6 decks gives an advantage of needing 30% less floor space than a traditional 4-deck dryer. The R3 series has a completely insulated shell that saves on heating energy and helps dry sheets evenly from the top to the bottom decks.
