LIGNA 2025 – Highlights from Hanover

HILDEBRAND has been part of LIGNA since the very first trade fair in 1975.
Even back then, a passion for innovation, efficiency, and durability were high priorities for us, combining experience, quality, and flexibility.

The comprehensive catalog includes not only conventional dryers, such as the HTR or the HCK, but also vacuum dryers, steaming chambers, and matching computer controls. Each product is customized to the customer’s needs and perfectly coordinated.

At the LIGNA trade fair 2025, Hildebrand presented its latest innovation: Hildebrand Solar. This system involves adding another roof to the existing drying chamber roof, built upon the existing supports and structure of the drying system. The solar cells are positioned at the optimal angle in optimized modules, free from obstructions and shading. This ensures that the sun’s energy is not wasted, but rather fed directly into the drying chamber’s systems, such as the circulation fans. A drying chamber surface area of 100 m² can be covered with up to 250 m² of Hildebrand solar modules. Depending on the project size and specific details, Hildebrand cites an average payback period of three years.
