Drying technology is our
bread and butter

ecodry Converting Solutions is a specialized engineering company for dryers and drying technology in the coating and converting industry. We combine deep process understanding with practical implementation experience – from analysis through design to optimization in ongoing operations.

Our team brings together mechanical engineering, process technology and project management under one roof. This 360°-competence enables us to view drying processes holistically and deliver reliable solutions – not PowerPoint slides.

Optimizing Drying Performance

Our commitment – in every project

Engineering for complete
drying technology

From designing new dryer systems to optimizing existing facilities – we cover the entire spectrum of industrial drying technology.

Dryer Design & Drying Technology

Design and construction of dryers for water- and solvent-based systems. From nozzle configuration through heat transfer to complete system planning – based on proven methodology and proprietary software.

Process & System Optimization

Systematic analysis of existing drying processes with the goal of improving quality, throughput and energy efficiency. We identify potential that often goes undetected in daily operations.

Process assessment Troubleshooting Energy analysis Performance

Retrofit & Technical Upgrades

Technical modernization of existing dryers and peripheral systems. Whether nozzle conversion, air flow optimization or energy system upgrades – we develop implementable solutions for real facilities.

Modernization Nozzle conversion Air flow Energy systems

Commissioning & On-Site Support

Professional start-up and on-site support for dryer systems. Fine-tuning of process parameters, wet acceptance and performance verification – until the system runs reliably.

Commissioning Fine-tuning Wet acceptance Performance testing

Energy Efficiency & Process Safety

Assessment and optimization of energy consumption of drying systems. Simultaneously: verification of safety-relevant functions according to applicable standards – from ATEX to EN 1539.

Rooted in the coating &
converting industry

We understand the interactions between product, process and dryer. Our focus is on industrial drying applications where thin layers are applied to substrates and dried – under real production conditions and with real requirements.

  • Water- and solvent-based coating systems
  • Thin films on foils, paper, textiles and specialty substrates
  • Pressure-sensitive products, protective films, technical laminates
  • Medical products, packaging, battery foils, decorative films
  • Drying, curing, tempering and cooling in web processes
  • Energy management, exhaust systems and thermal afterburning

What sets us apart from generalists

We are not a large consulting firm and not a machinery conglomerate. We are a focused specialist team that understands dryers – technically, procedurally and in the context of your facility.

01

Deep specialization

Drying technology is not just one of many topics for us – it is our only focus. This focus enables technical depth that generalists cannot achieve.

02

Practice over theory

Our team has designed, commissioned and optimized dryers. We know the reality on the factory floor – not just the theory behind it.

03

360°-Process expertise

Design, process technology and project management under one roof. We look not just at the dryer, but at the entire interplay of product, process and system.

04

Implementation-focused

We deliver no academic reports, but reliable solutions that work in your facility. Our goal: measurable results, not paper.

05

Radical honesty

Our best result for you could also be the confirmation that your system already runs optimally. We don't sell solutions you don't need.

06

Empowerment over dependency

We don't want to make our customers dependent on us, but to make them better. Every analysis and every training strengthens your internal expertise and your independence.

Four steps to clarity

Our approach is structured, transparent and designed to disrupt your operations as little as possible.

1

Create clarity

In an initial conversation, we understand your situation, identify the core question and provide initial food for thought.

2

Define milestones

Together we set clear goals and intermediate steps. This creates a transparent action plan.

3

Execute with focus

We work solution-oriented and laser-focused – whether together with your team, with partners or independently.

4

Track & celebrate

Reflect on results, secure success, document metrics. A final report ensures the sustainability of the measures.

Typical assignments

Our projects start where standard solutions reach their limits – and true specialization is needed.

Optimization

Reduce energy consumption in the drying process

Systematic analysis of energy flows in existing dryers. Identification of savings potential through air flow, nozzle or heat recovery measures.

Design

Dryer design for a new coating line

Process design and engineering design of a dryer system for specific product and performance requirements – from concept to detail.

Troubleshooting

Solve quality problems in the drying process

Analysis of drying errors, uneven drying or product damage. Root cause investigation in the running process with data-driven methodology.

Retrofit

Modernize existing dryer technically

Nozzle conversion, air volume adjustment or integration of new energy systems into existing facilities – without complete rebuilding, but with measurable results.

Commissioning

Start-up and fine-tuning on site

Professional commissioning of dryer systems after new construction or modification. Wet acceptance, performance testing and handover to operations.

Consulting

Independent technical evaluation of a dryer concept

Neutral assessment of supplier offers, process concepts or technical specifications – as a reliable decision foundation for your project team.
