Reduce energy costs and enhance efficiency with our expert advice on conveyor dryers. Partner with us to achieve your sustainability goals and streamline your production process.
Conveyor dryers are often the biggest energy consumers in a production line. With our expertise and industry knowledge, we can help lower CO2e emissions, greenhouse gases, energy costs, and waste, ultimately improving efficiency in your process. This will enable you to reach your organization's sustainability goals.
Our drying process specialists work with your team to assess current conditions and desired outcomes. They gather essential information on processes, product requirements, energy consumption, future plans, and other key parameters.
With assessment data in hand, our experts conduct an interdisciplinary analysis and work with your team to outline potential savings, CO₂ reductions, ROI, and more, guiding your next steps.
After completing the assessment, our specialists will conduct an onsite workshop with your team. This in-depth analysis identifies untapped potential and results in a clear proposal and blueprint for achieving your targets.
Once opportunities are identified and prioritized, you'll receive a comprehensive implementation plan detailing necessary parts and manpower. This plan may include mechanical adjustments and repair, dryer retrofit and upgrade, digital solutions for advanced control and monitoring, and transitioning to sustainable energy sources for decarbonization.
Our team of drying process experts will collaborate closely with your team to thoroughly assess your current conditions and establish clear, actionable objectives. By leveraging our combined expertise, we will identify opportunities for improvement and tailor solutions to meet your specific needs.
Our process experts will gather essential information about your plant, including product requirements, energy use, and future plans. We'll analyze this data to identify potential savings, CO2 reductions, and efficiency improvements, calculate ROI, and establish a validation timeline.
After completing the assessment, our specialists will conduct an onsite workshop with your team. The outcome includes a detailed energy-saving proposal, optimization blueprint, potential savings evaluation (CO2e, costs, energy), ROI assessments, installation, retrofit proposals, and help with government subsidies.
After selecting the solutions, a dedicated Bühler project manager is appointed to define the implementation schedule, order necessary parts, and oversee the execution. This process aims to create an efficient plant with lower energy consumption and costs, enhancing sustainability through optimized processes and reduced CO2e emissions.
Replacing burners or fluid-heated coils with electric heaters enables full decarbonization, eliminating dryer emissions and enhancing safety and hygiene.
Installing a heat recovery system allows the use of heated exhaust air to preheat inlet air, reducing energy use by 20%.
Using a heat pump and coil loop to preheat makeup air and recover waste heat from dryer exhaust can save up to 30% in energy and enhance decarbonization by reducing reliance on other fuels.
Bühler Insights, our central platform for connected products, optimizes plant efficiency by reducing energy consumption and waste. For instance, our DryingPro intelligent moisture controller can immediately reduce energy use by 20%.
Our process experts analyze your needs, providing data on CAPEX, OPEX, ROI, and CO2e quantification. This helps you make informed decisions on sustainability improvements based on your specific conditions, local energy costs, and available alternative energy sources.
Invest in your productivity and quality today by scheduling a process evaluation. This is the first step towards optimized performance. We also offer intensive mechanical evaluations of drying equipment, along with classroom-style and customized training on both mechanical and process topics.
