Our dryers are built with load bearing structure in AISI/304 stainless steel sized to resist to the high mechanical stress to which the system may be subjected. «COPCAL HT» KILN DRYERS COPCAL HT is the traditional dryer with COPCAL HT fork-lift truck front loading. COPCAL HTT is a tunnel dryer using a loading system with truck on rails. This solution is particularly suitable for drying large quantities of softwoods. For rapid envisages drying, high the heating operating system temperatures and the use of steam for humidification of wood. COPCAL HT-TP / COPCAL HTT-TP (technological parts) are dryers with a load-bearing structure not in STAINLESS steel with insulation panels, but in masonry built by the client. Dryerwood srl supplies the construction project, internal technological parts, the loading hatch, roof and electrical panel. In some areas of the world, this type of solution may prove to be more eco- COPCAL HTT nomical for the client.

34 C O M P O N E N T D E T A I L S Internal load-bearing structure prefabricated in 100% AISI/304 stainless steel, to ensure optimal mechanical performance and resistance to aggression by chemical agents released by the wood during the various types of heat treatment. The bolt-on structure assembly system ensures rapid and precise system assembly. Thermally insulating cladding of the walls, roof and doors is in special sandwich panels with a thickness ranging from 60 to 140 mm. The insulating section in expanded polyurethane or mineral wool, ensures optimal heat insulation, the elimination of thermal bridges thanks to special joints and maximum mechanical resistance. Also, the internal and external cladding of each panel is made with aluminium supports that ensure good resistance to chemical agents released by the wood and natural atmospheric agents. Axial fans designed for maximum air flow rate and pressure performance. The rugged impeller comprising hub and wing-profile blades is made of die-cast aluminium and is enclosed in a conveyor tube with rounded edges. The electric motor is coupled directly to the impeller and fixed to the conveyor tube with stainless steel bolts. The electric motors are closed versions, constructed in Class H, with insulation rating IP55, with special bearings for high temperatures, tropicalised windings, condensate drains and motor shaft in stainless steel. Each fan is balanced and tested on the workbench. Mobile deflectors for compensation of residual space between the underside of the roof and wood to be dried. Produced with a flexible rubber fabric or in aluminium and stainless steel with manual opening and closing command to facilitate dryer loading and unloading. Loading doors of chambers in special aluminium profiles extruded from our own dies. Each door is designed with criteria of sturdiness and resistance to guarantee maximum sealing, structural strength and heat insulation also on largescale. The doors can be solid sliding versions with hydraulically lifted trolleys or with supported folding doors. Special EPDM rubber seals suitable for low and high temperatures, resistant to substances released by the wood and mechanical and elastic stress, to guarantee perfect sealing efficiency and unaltered characteristics over time. Inspection hatches to enable access to chambers for product inspections and checks. Our doors are made of aluminium profiles and the type of insulation panels used for walls, thus ensuring perfect heat and airtight sealing, also thanks to the EPDM rubber seals. False ceiling comprising ribbed aluminium sheets fixed to the internal loadbearing structure. The purpose of the false ceiling is to produce a channel through which the air circulated by the fans passes from one side of the chamber to the other. Heating achieved by bi-metal exchangers with stainless steel or copper pipes and aluminium fins to increase the exchange surface. Correct sizing of each exchanger is fundamental to ensure the correct heating output required for each type of wood to be dried. The heat exchangers are equipped with stainless steel manifolds for the external hydraulic connection to the chamber and 3-way solenoid valve, sized accordingly. 3 4

35 Air exchange flues comprising motor-driven butterfly dampers with servomotor and constructed in stainless steel and aluminium with special closure seals. When correctly sized in terms of dimensions and quantity, guarantee rapid dehumidification of the drying chamber. Humidification system for air inside the chamber to avoid alterations to the wood fibre and colour and guarantee correct moisture content. The humidification system is made of stainless steel pipelines in which special atomizer nozzles are installed, which thanks to the high pressure, atomizes the water into small particles to thus aid rapid absorption into the air. The humidification system may be single or double depending on the direction of air ventilation, and each system is equipped with a solenoid valve and a water filter. Electrical panel for control and management of the chambers throughout all the various phases of the heating cycle, constructed with a protection rating of IP55, and compliant with current standards. Each electrical panel is equipped with a control unit with display for constant information on the phase of the cycle in progress; it is fitted with start and stop commands and luminous status indicators. Top quality and easily available electric and mechanical components, as well as electrical parts of the electrical panel. For control of the fan speed, an inverter drive is installed, complete with special RFI filters, and capacitors to avoid disturbance and electromagnetic interference. With the Copcal System RX remote control system connected via PCZ- USB RS485 to the control unit, remote management of the chambers is also possible via PC. Electrical system engineering comprising electrical connections between the electrical panel and various system components. These may include: fans, 3-way heating valves, air exchange flues, humidification solenoid valves, climate parameter detection sensors and wood status conditions. Each Copcal system is supplied complete with a set of electric cables supplied as standard, required for connection of the various actuators to the electrical control panel. Only specially sized double insulation cables are routed through the chamber and in areas subject to exposure to various temperature levels. Direct gas generator, a valid and cost-saving solution for heating is the direct gas generator, which avoids the need for the boiler and relative hydraulic circuit, thereby reducing heat dispersion and heating costs to a minimum. It also accelerates the heat process times with minimal management and maintenance costs. This heating system is made up of a dual stage blown air burner operating with gas fuel. The burner is connected directly to the combustion chamber with an air/fume heat exchanger with INOX AISI 316 heavy gauge steel pipes. The heat exchanger placed horizontally and subject to direct impact of the air flow generated by the fans, disperses heat thus heating up the chamber and the wood inside. The combustion fumes circulate inside the heat exchanger without any contact with the air circulating in the chamber, thus avoiding any risk of fire. The burner is fitted with an electronic control unit with automatic ignition and flame control, double fuel shut-off valve and other safety systems. A centrifugal suction fan is installed downline of the heat exchanger for discharge of the combustion fumes to the flue. Inverter Drive for automatic control of fan speed according to the humidity of the wood and the wood type being processed. In order to improve the quality of drying and reduce electrical consumption, Dryer-wood always offers installation of the best 3-phase frequency converters complete with filter system to eliminate disturbance deriving from electromagnetic phenomena. 3 5
