A continuous tunnel dryer that processes paperboard sheets through heated chambers to precisely control residual moisture content post-pressing. Ideal for high-volume paperboard production, it qualifies under HTS 8419.35.5000 for 'other' dryers handling paper or paperboard in industrial settings. The equipment ensures paperboard quality by evaporating water without altering fiber structure.

Import Tips

Submit technical drawings showing paperboard conveyor path to confirm classification away from general material dryers

Label equipment clearly as 'industrial paperboard dryer' to prevent misclassification as domestic laundry equipment

Ensure CE marking or equivalent for pressure vessels if dryer includes steam systems, required for many import markets
