Why “Small” Matters: Vertical Design for Space & Efficiency
In Myanmar’s bustling woodworking hubs, small mills processing 4ft rubber wood veneers faced a common dilemma: large, floor-standing dryers were too expensive and space-consuming, while traditional models struggled with uneven drying and high fuel costs. Shine’s 20-meter vertical veneer dryer—a solution that fit seamlessly into tight factory floors, cut energy bills, and delivered consistent results. Also, it greatly help the customer to avoid the rainny season when they are drying under sun.
At just 20 meters in length, Shine’s vertical veneer dryer reimagines space utilization. Unlike sprawling horizontal dryers, its vertical stack design minimizes footprint—critical for mills with limited factory space or those looking to expand without costly infrastructure upgrades.
Powered by Waste Wood: A Sustainable, Cost-Effective Fuel Source
A defining feature of Shine’s vertical veneer dryer is its built-in combustion furnace, which transforms waste wood—a byproduct of eucalyptus veneer slicing (bark, trimmings, and offcuts)—into a free, renewable energy source. For Myanmar’s rubber wood mills, this cut fuel costs by 50% and eliminated waste disposal fees. The built-in furnace ensures steady, adjustable temperatures, critical for eucalyptus veneers—dense, oily woods that require precise drying to avoid warping or cracking.
30m3 Daily: High Output in a Compact Package
Despite its small size, this vertical dryer delivers impressive throughput: 30m3of uniformly dried eucalyptus veneer daily. Whether processing 2mm-thin decorative sheets for furniture or 6mm-thick blanks for construction laminates, the system maintains tight moisture control (10% or lower, even down to 0% for specialized applications).
3-Person Operation: Labor Savings That Add Up
In Myanmar, the dryer’s automated design reduced labor needs just 3 workers:
Minimal staff required to monitor and load/unload veneers, freeing workers for higher-value tasks.
Simple controls and reliable performance mean the dryer runs continuously, maximizing output without overtime pay.
Client Voice: “Small Machine, Big Results”
As the factory owner noted: “We needed a dryer that fit our tight yard and cut costs. Shine’s vertical model was the answer. Now we’re drying 30 cubic meters daily with just 3 workers, using our own wood waste as fuel. It’s saved us money, space, and headaches.”
Shine Machinery’s small vertical veneer dryer proves that big capacity doesn’t require big machines. For South-East Asia's rubber wood veneer processors, it’s the smart choice for efficient, sustainable, and profitable drying—proving that great things come in small packages.
