Tradition, responsibility, future We are continuing to write the story of our company’s development: www.stela-drying-technology.de/de/unternehmen/firmenchronik/

A company with history STELA can look back on many years of tradition and experience. In 1922 Stefan Laxhuber founded a small workshop which, together with his wife Juliane Laxhuber, he turned into a company for wind-powered well production, later expanding into trading agricultural machinery. After 50 successful years, the founder passed the company on to his son, Stefan Laxhuber. With the support of his wife, Theresia Laxhuber, he invested many years into his life’s work, as his father had done before him. And like his father, he also opened new lines of business and from this developed...

Based in Massing, active around the world. 42 million tonnes of grain per year 42 million tonnes of grain – this unimaginably large volume is dried each year using STELA dryers. Considering the energy required achieving this, it is clear how important the efficiency of a drying plant is. That’s our goal: As little energy consumption as possible to evaporate as much water as possible for the benefit of the environment and our clients. That’s what distinguishes our advanced technolo

40 million cubic metres of air In conventional drying plants, approximately 40 million m³ per hour of air at temperatures of 60, 80 or 100 °C d is wasted. This is not the case with STELA belt dryer technology. Low-calorific heat is used, e.g. from power plant processes, a system which is well received among our customers. There are two obvious advantages: the value added by drying a high quality product and the use of an existing energy source at virtually zero cost.

“Just” dryers? Yes! STELA wants to offer its clients the best possible drying solutions, which is why we have specialised in this complex field of technology.

We focus all of our know-how on the development of the most advanced drying systems and do this for a wide range of products, from agriculture, the food industry and energy technology through to disposal engineering. Specialising in the technology, not just the industry. This creates synergies.

State of the art STELA drying technology – a world leader Since the production of the first feed-and-turn dryer in 1967, STELA has developed into a leading and globally active industrial company in the field of drying system construction. But what sets STELA apart from all the rest? A corporate philosophy with foresight! Technology leader in energy-efficient drying Across the world there are still too many outdated drying systems in use. The result is high energy consumption and even the “low” values are still 1.5 kWh or even 2.0 kWh per kg of evaporated water. By contrast, most of our...
