A method for handling and drying cardboard tubes. The method includes the steps of receiving the cardboard tubes in a horizontal orientation at the exit of a conveyor, the cardboard tubes having respective sidewalls wet from a previous winding and gluing process, the sidewalls having a given moisture level; successively grouping the cardboard tubes in perforated boxes by preserving the horizontal orientation, the perforated boxes having at least two opposed lateral sides provided with openings, the cardboard tubes having respective extremities facing said openings; placing the perforated boxes into an air dryer with the cardboard tubes aligned with an air flow of the dryer; drying the cardboard tubes by circulating air in the dryer through said perforated boxes for a predetermined time period, lowering the moisture level of the cardboard tubes; and using the perforated boxes for shipment of the cardboard tubes. |
