Northwest Dryer & Machinery Co.

Plug-Up Detectors & Lathe/Charger Services

Beyond dryer parts, our machine shop supports the rest of the plywood plant — plug-up detection systems and lathe/charger components and rebuilds.

PLUG-UP
DETECTOR

Plug-Up Detector

400+ units in service · Original design, over 40 years in the field

We designed the original plug-up detector that’s standard equipment on most new dryers. We’ve re-designed the control panel to take advantage of modern microprocessors — the new unit has more computing power than a 486 computer. The system still uses the original brackets and insulators inside the dryer, and we keep all of these in stock to keep your unit running.

LATHE &
CHARGER

Lathe & Charger Parts

Our machine shop has been making the important parts for lathes and chargers for several decades. We’ve helped develop X-Y chargers and made most of the roller nose bars in use today. We always have core-drive rolls underway in the shop, and we’re ready to rebuild rolls or entire drive units. Our in-house hydraulic experts can improve performance and reliability.
