ABSTRACT:
A method for transporting, drying and unloading lightweight particulate material involves taking a wheeled compartment having forward and rearward ends, a bottom, and opposite sides, forming a false bottom over the bottom to create an air duct therebetween, forming air ports in the false bottom which will deflect forced air passing therethrough from the air duct in a direction generally towards the rearward end, placing a quantity of peanut hulls in the compartment, forcing warm air into the air duct through the air ports and into the compartment to dry the peanut hulls, and moving the rearward end of the compartment to permit the air from the air ports to blow the dried hulls from the compartment out of the rearward end. An apparatus for transporting, drying and unloading lightweight particulate material includes a wheel-mounted frame, a compartment on said frame having a normally horizontal bottom, opposite sides, a forward end, and open top, and a rearward end pivotal gate, a false bottom floor located in the compartment spaced from and substantially parallel to the bottom to create an air duct therebetween, a plurality on laterally extending slits in the false bottom floor with at least some of said slits having an upwardly and rearwardly extending baffle element so that air moving through the slits from the air duct will move upwardly and rearwardly into the compartment, and means associated with the air duct for receiving air under pressure to cause air moved through the slits.
