Drying Equipment for Wood and Cellulose Products

Aeroglide offers the wood industry a range of equipment and processing options to optimize product quality and operating efficiencies. 

Introducing the technology wood processors need such as preheaters and post dryers, stand alone conveyor systems, single and triple-pass rotary dryers, as well as the patented AeroPulse™ pulsed fluid bed system. Aeroglide customers also benefit from our thermal processing experience and expertise to optimize their operation. 

Aeroglide’s latest design has been proven and accepted by one of the premier suppliers of wood-based panels.  From our very first rotary dryer at Georgia-Pacific to our most recent conveyorized preheater at Norbord Mississippi, Aeroglide Corporation has improved the quality of each strand our dryers produce.  

Applications

• The National and Aeroglide conveyor dryer designs provide the very best product quality through precise control and discharge moisture uniformity.  The gentle handling of the OSB strands allows for maximum length strands, while reducing fines/dust generation and increasing board integrity. 
• Aeroglide rotary dryers meet the efficient drying needs for sawdust, woodstrands/chips and pellets. 
• The optional biomass burner system provides an alternative source of fuel.
  

Available configurations:

• Single plenum
• Single pass conveyor dryer
• Multi-pass conveyor dryer
• Rotary dryer
• Rapid high heat transfer - impingement
• Rapid high heat transfer – fluid bed
• Biomass burner and other accessories

Features
