ABSTRACT:
A drying machine includes a hot air blower, a housing divided horizontally into plural long chambers having an open upper side, a closed bottom and two longitudinal sides bored with through holes, a screw conveyor respectively positioned in each long chamber, and a motor to rotate all the screw conveyors, and a sending-out screw conveyor positioned on the bottom of the housing. Each screw conveyor has an inner screw and an outer screw twisting in opposite direction for conveying, squeezing, mixing and stirring material at the same time dried by hot air coming from the blower. Material falls down from a funnel on the upper side of the housing and gradually falling down through the through holes and an outlet in an end of the bottom of the highest long chamber and then into a second highest long chamber and so on to the lowest portion of the housing to be conveyed by the sending-out screw conveyor to an exit through which dried material falls down through for collected.
