Z-Sifter for Rubber Wood Fibers


Application Used in MDF, HDF, THDF and door skin production for separating:
„ Glue lumps n Latex particles n Wood particles
„ Coarse fibers n Metal, rubber and other foreign material

Description Fibers from the dryer are getting accelerated by a horizontal air stream in inlet section and spread
in Zigzag section. Vortexes, caused by zigzag shaped internals, separate coarse from fine material.
Coarse particles fall down to sifter bottom section and get transported out by two screw conveyors.
Acceptable material gets carried upwards and out of sifter to a high efficiency cyclone above the
forming station. There, the material is separated from the air flow and discharged by an air lock.

Drum Dryer
Application Drying of:
„ Wood particles, e.g., sawdust, mini chips, recycling material for PB and pellet production
„ Strands and wafers for OSB production
„ Disintegrated seasonal annual crops and other biomass for a wide range of applications

Description Wet material is fed via a rotary valve and a specially designed infeed chute into the rotating drum.
There, the heat is transferred mainly through convection from the drying gases to the material for
water evaporation. At the end of the drum, the material is pneumatically transported to cyclones
where the material is separated from the drying gases. One portion of the drying gases is recircu-
lated to the mixing chamber for energy recovery and reduction of dryer exhaust volume.

Intelligent Air Management System

As a general contractor for the worldwide wood-based panel industry, Dieffenbacher provides customers with
an engineered solution for improving the air climate in their production hall. This is possible with a new intelligent
air management system combined with the innovative Inline Scrubber (see Press Emission Control System,
page 126, and Dryer Emission Control System, page 128). This system also can be easily retrofitted in existing
plants to comply with new and stricter regulations.

Our solution is based on a concept specially configured to customers’ requirements. To configure an optimal
solution, in-depth analyses such as CFD simulations (computational fluid dynamics) are carried out.

Add-ons:

Intelligent Air Management System


Application Buildings for MDF, PB, OSB and LVL production open

Description The intelligent air management system captures concentrated and diffuse emission
sources and controls the infeed and outfeed air in the hall in order to improve the hall
climate through systematic air flow. Each concept will be individually and integrated closed
designed to meet our customer requirement.

Customer „ Improved air quality for your staff’s health Inline scrubber Modular press suction hood ideal for retrofitting
benefits „ Heat recovery from exhaust streams
