42 Machinery and Plants Business Unit _ Dryers<br />

The Turkish particleboard manufacturer Starwood started its<br />

own MDF production with a complete plant by <strong>Siempelkamp</strong><br />

and a highly efficient single-stage flash tube fiber dryer from<br />

Büttner. The line is designed for the production of thin MDF<br />

and started operation in the spring of <strong>2008</strong>.<br />

Furthermore, we completed numerous efficiency increases<br />

and upgrades to dryer systems from other manufacturers in<br />

<strong>2008</strong>. After the takeover of the Depalor plant (France) by<br />

Kronotex, Büttner was commissioned with the task of<br />

increasing the efficiency of a Texpan dryer which was installed<br />

in 1989.<br />

The Trombini Group in Codigoro (Italy) placed an order for<br />

the upgrading of a Büttner particle dryer including the entire<br />

installation. This order was completed on schedule and the<br />

dryer was put back into operation successfully.<br />

For the particle dryers of another manufacturer we supplied<br />

to EGGER Rol (France) a new and energy-optimized heating<br />

system. Furthermore, the optimized burning process has<br />

positive effects on emissions.<br />

New Orders for 2009<br />

Numerous new orders, which were placed in <strong>2008</strong>, speak for<br />

the lasting success of our dryers: EGGER in Unterradlberg,<br />

Austria, commissioned Büttner with the replacement of three<br />

indirectly heated particle dryers at the Unterradlberg plant<br />

near St. Pölten. These three dryers were supplied by another<br />

manufacturer several years ago and are now to be replaced,<br />

one by one, with new Büttner indirectly heated bundle dryers.<br />

Another order from the EGGER Group: Within the scope of<br />

extending the plant in St. Johann (Austria) we received the<br />

order for replacing the 25-year-old particle dryer with a larger<br />

model. Büttner will supply, install, and start up the proven highefficiency<br />

drum dryer type NH.<br />

To the French location of the EGGER Group Büttner will also<br />

supply a new single path drum dryer. EGGER Rol is in the<br />

process of expanding the press capacity at this location. The<br />

new dryer will double the drying capacity.
