FIELD: drying. ^ SUBSTANCE: drier comprises chamber and draw load-bearing member for loose material whose branches are mounted horizontally inside the chamber and secured to the frame. The branches are made of endless scraping chain that forms a single lope to define lope sections. The scrapping chain bears on the chutes whose free edges are curved from the side of running of all branches off and are bent in the direction of the return unit. The free end of each chute is pivotally connected with the main section of the chute, and the axle of the return unit is shifted in the direction of movement of the scrapping chain and is spring-loaded to the frame. The end of the free end of the chute edge is mounted at the level of the top of the return unit. ^ EFFECT: reduced sizes and enhanced efficiency. ^ 2 dwg
