Gypsum & Fiberboard
Today's board producers are being challenged by increasing energy costs
and competitive pricing, while continuously striving to meet the demands
of today's marketplace for high quality board products. With more than
100 years of experience in manufacturing drying and handling equipment
for the building products industry, Coe Newnes McGehee (CNM) offers vast
knowledge in building systems with innovative, field proven designs; incorporating
state of the art controls and technology to achieve higher levels of plant
efficiency, product quality and overall productivity.
With a historical emphasis on drying systems, CNM has built its position
in the marketplace by providing heavy duty, reliable board drying lines
that achieve a high degree of efficiency through the application of automatic
exhaust controls and proven heater systems, fans, uniform air distribution
manifolds, controls and instruments. Even greater levels of efficiency
can now be cost justified and achieved through the application of optional
preheat and heat recovery equipment, which has commonly been utilized
in the European marketplace.
Equally important is the fact that the large installation base of older
CNM drying lines can also benefit from current technologies. Each of these
drying lines can attain greater fuel economy through the addition of the
CNM patented dry end seal system with automatic exhaust control and the
retrofitting of an insulated and sealed floor. This modification eliminates
any inward and outward airflow at the entry and exit ends of the dryer,
as well as through the classic foundation seal.
