A method for drying raw material for the manufacture of particleboard is shown and described. In a preferred embodiment, the raw material is fed onto a conveyor which then moves the raw material as a bed through a dryer housing. The housing may be partitioned into various zones and levels, depending on the desired configuration. A volume of drying air is heated and then passed through the bed of raw material to reduce the moisture content of the raw material. In a preferred embodiment, the raw material is agitated to promote the even exposure of the raw material to the drying heat. The raw material is then conveyed through a conditioning zone before being discharged from the dryer housing. |
