ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for drying of articles traveling upon a conveyor which utilizes a housing defining a plenum chamber and a drying chamber therein for use in cooperation with a conveyor which enters the drying chamber at a conveyor inlet position and exits the drying chamber at a conveyor exit position. The plenum chamber is separated from the drying chamber by a particularly constructed airflow device which achieves various specific desired airflow patterns depending upon the type of article being carried upon the conveyor traveling through the drying chamber. A blower is included supplying pressurized air for drying to the plenum chamber where the pressure is equalized and applied in this manner to a plurality of slots defined in the airflow control. The slots are designed with the lower section having vertically extending walls and a upper section having outwardly flared walls to increase the downwardly exerted pressure by drying air traveling therethrough and to minimize turbulence of airflow as it enters the slots of the airflow control.
