Development concept of the environmentally friendly container bulk dryer
1) Development Concept
- To reduce the environmental impact in tobacco leaf drying and better preserve the Earth’s environment, therefore, the machine developers aimed to reduce fuel consumption by more than 30% compared to conventional machines.
2) Energy-saving Performance
- It enables a reduction in fuel consumption of over 30%. (Passed the Tobacco Cultivation Material Commissioned Test in FY 2016).
Features
1.Significant improvement in insulation performance
①The panel thickness increases from the previous 25mm to 42mm.
As a result, insulation performance improves significantly by using color steel plates for the outer surface, injecting high-density foam polyurethane inside, and replacing the traditional aluminum frame with a resin frame.
②In addition, insulation panels are applied to the bottom plate to prevent heat loss from the foundation.
As a result, the heat loss to the foundation section is significantly reduced.
③Thermography image of the hot air generator during drying
※ The higher the temperature, the stronger the red color appears.
Traditional dryer
(Insulation material: Glass wool)
EC-type dryer
Insulation material: Gypsum board + foam polyurethane
④To prevent heat loss from the observation window, specialized sashes and insulation panels have been used.

※The specifications above refer to the type utilizing the existing foundation, while the flat foundation type will have (‐F) added at the end of the model number. The double-inlet centrifugal multi-blade blower (2 units) (JCSD type) is also available in the lineup.
- Type utilizing existing foundation: This type uses the existing foundation directly, so no foundation work is required. (Applicable when existing equipment is arranged in a single building).
- Flat foundation type: Requires the construction of a special flat foundation with a depth of 420mm, with each unit being installed individually.
※These specifications may be changed without prior notice for improvement purposes.
