FIELD: drying equipment, in particular, bulk load drying apparatus. ^ SUBSTANCE: drier has drying chamber, heating element, and runs of flexible belt, which are arranged one above another so as to run around rotating drums and rest upon rollers. On each belt run, in zone where it comes into contact with rotating drum there are transfer devices made in the form of double-sided plow-shaped droppable members and two inclined troughs arranged symmetrically about longitudinal axis of belt so that bulk load may be transferred from double-sided droppable members and fed onto lower run of strip. Belt runs define single contour composed of sequentially arranged looped portions. Blade-type rotating accumulators are positioned on horizontal pins under rotating drums so that bulk load particles passed under double-sided plow-type droppable members may be transferred from rotating drums. Blade-type accumulators are made in the form of blades of various length balanced relative to pin and alternately fixed in cross-like manner on pins. Retractable container is positioned in lower part of drying chamber at side opposite to receiving device for dried bulk load so that bulk load may be transferred from said accumulators into retractable container. ^ EFFECT: reduced number of belt runs, decreased volume of drying chamber, reduced consumption of heated air, and also avoiding spilling of bulk load. ^ 3 dwg |
