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.

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.

Convection dryers Nozzle design Flotation dryers EN 1539

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.

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

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.

How we start – low risk, high clarity

A small, fair first step instead of a big commitment. You always know what you get and what it costs.

1

Initial call – free

A 20-minute conversation. We tell you honestly whether and how we can help – no obligation.

2

Dryer Quickcheck – fixed price

Send us your plant data, temperature profiles and photos. Within 5 working days you receive a short report with a potential assessment for quality, energy and throughput. The fee is credited if you commission a follow-up project.

3

Implementation

Design, optimization or retrofit – with clear milestones, measurable targets and no dependency.

The people behind ecodry

Experienced engineers driven by the common goal of unleashing the full potential of industrial drying processes.

Markus Lente

Markus Lente

Process & Project Engineer · Chemical Process Engineer

A chemical engineer by training, Markus spent nearly 14 years as a process engineer in the label industry, running adhesive coating, siliconizing and lacquering lines before moving into dryer design. At ecodry he leads software development, conceptual design, calculations with our in-house software and P&ID work. He is at home on the running line: commissioning, temperature profiles and troubleshooting.

Sven Schnoklake

Sven Schnoklake

Head of Engineering · Mechanical & Process Engineer

Sven heads engineering at ecodry, a mechanical and process engineer with 10+ years in the field. He designs dryers that run cleanly, safely and efficiently, from the nozzle and air-flow concept through safety assessment (ATEX, EN 1539) to commissioning on site. When a dryer has to be right from the first design decision, it starts on his desk.

Bernd Theling

Bernd Theling

Managing Director · Chemical Process Engineer

Bernd is Managing Director at ecodry and a chemical process engineer with 10+ years in coating and converting across Europe, Asia and the USA. He leads sales and business development, and still heads into the field himself for optimization assignments and commissioning. Bernd bridges the physics of drying and the business decision, keeping complex processes clear and actionable.
