EXCERPT

The Canada-based West Fraser company has awarded Büttner the contract to replace the existing Bison drum type 5.0 x 25 along with other components for the site in Cowie (Scotland), formerly owned by Norbord (acquired by West Fraser in 2021).

Büttner’s scope of delivery will include a high-efficiency Büttner drum dryer type 5.4 x 25 R as well as a new drum drive and bearing units, a brick-lined mixing chamber and various ducts. The order is also for the entire transport, assembly supervision and commissioning of the new system.

The pre-assembly work will commence at the end of 2022. All components are to be pre-assembled on the ground during this phase in preparation for the shut-down phase in the first quarter of 2023 when the dryer is to be finally replaced.
