Wood chip drying

Wood chip drying

Drying wood chips is becoming more important. Fresh wood chips have a water content of 40 – 60 % (large differences in moisture content between heartwood and sapwood). The calorific value of fresh wood chips is around 2 kW/kg. The advantages of dry wood chips are obvious.

Advantages

The calorific value from fresh to dried wood chips can be twice as high

This reduces the amount of fuel required by a factor of two

Combustion is cleaner and less ash is generated

The weight during transportation (transportation costs) is also reduced

Almost any material can be dried with the LASCO gill plate.

The nozzle opening is small. This eliminates the problem of the drying material falling through into the printing chamber.

The nozzle plate floor can also be equipped with a suitable substructure so that it can be driven over, which has proved very successful for wood chips, logs, grain, maize and tea drying.

Gill plates are also suitable for maize or grain.
