ABSTRACT:
An arrangement for drying plate-shaped wood products, such as veneers and plywood plies, includes a roller conveyor which advances the products in the leading portion of their drying path, and a belt conveyor which advances the products in the trailing portion of such path. The two conveyors are accommodated in separate housings. The roller conveyor includes a plurality of pairs of rollers which confine the wood products therebetween and thus smoothen the same, while the belt conveyor includes at least two conveyor belts which confine the wood products between themselves but do not interfere with the shrinking of the material of the products as the same are being dried. A transition or transfer device, such as a roller table, is arranged between and aligned with the roller and belt conveyors to let the material of the plate-shaped wood product get rid of the stresses which have built up therein during its passage through the roller conveyor section. The length ratio of the roller and belt conveyors is in the range of between 1:2 and 2:1.
