Natural Gas Drying Machine for Pulp Molding Curing: Energy-Efficient Drying Tunnel for Bio-Based Food Packaging Production
Composition of Production Line:
This system comprises an automated conveyor belt (mesh type),
pre-heating zone, main drying tunnel with natural gas-powered hot
air circulation system, temperature control zones, cooling section,
and discharge conveyor.
Product Description:
Our natural gas drying oven is specifically engineered for the
high-volume curing and drying of pulp molded products, such as food
trays, egg cartons, and packaging inserts. It utilizes
clean-burning natural gas to generate high-volume hot air, ensuring
rapid and uniform moisture removal from the porous plant fiber
structure. This results in significantly reduced energy costs
compared to electric ovens while achieving superior product
stability and dimensional accuracy.

protective packaging.
Customization:
This oven can be customized in length, width, number of heating zones, and conveyor type
(e.g., mesh belt, chain-on-edge) to perfectly integrate with your
existing production line and meet specific product dwell time
requirements.
Feature:
Low Operational Cost: Natural gas is a cost-effective energy source for high-temperature drying.
Uniform Air Flow: Patented airflow design ensures even temperature distribution, preventing warping.
Rapid Heating: Gas systems achieve operating temperature much faster than electric ones.
Environmentally Friendly: Modern low-NOx burners reduce emissions.
Support and Services:
Installation supervision, combustion tuning for optimal efficiency,
operator safety training, and readily available spare parts for the
burner system.
Packing and Shipping:
The oven is shipped in modular sections for easy assembly on-site.
The burner unit is crated separately. All sections are insulated
and protected from weather.
FAQ:
Q: Why choose natural gas over electricity for drying pulp molding?
A: For high-temperature, continuous industrial drying, natural gas
is typically 3-4 times more cost-effective than electricity per
unit of heat, leading to substantial savings in operational
expenditure (OPEX), especially for high-volume production.
