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.
