OLWO AG, Switzerland
After converting 5 drying chambers to the Alent Dynamic technology, we were able to directly confirm the promised advantages. End cracks are no longer an issue for us and twisting and discoloration have also been greatly improved. We see significant electricity savings and are happy about a more environmentally friendly drying process. The changeover to the Alent Dynamic drying method was very easy and quick in all chambers.
