PURPOSE:To keep the temperature and humidity in each drying chamber at respective specific values, to prevent the breakage of noodles in the drying of fresh noodles, and to save the energy consumption in the drying process, by recycling the air in each drying chamber to the chamber through an air conditioner. CONSTITUTION:Fresh noodles M1 are transferred by the conveyor L through the first drying chamber DR1. The chamber DR1 is furnished with exhaust ducts 8a and 8b. At the initial stage of drying, the hot air is exhausted from the duct 8a. At the latter stage, the air in the first drying chamber DR1 is supplied through the duct 8b to the air conditioner 5a, and returned to the drying chamber DR1. The air conditioner has built-in cooler and heater, and controls the atmosphere in the chamber DR1 at 20-22 deg.C and <=52% RH regardless of the season. Thereafter, the fresh noodles are passed through the second, the third and the fourth drying chambers. The air in each chamber is controlled to definite temperature and humidity by each air conditioner, and recycled to the chamber. |
