Dryer consists of drying modules, the initial module and the final module. Raw material intake is located at the top of the initial module, and the raw material is transported using a dosing device. Outfall of the end product is located in the bottom part of the final module. Each module is equipped with an air heater and a circulation fan. In order to intensify the drying process, a reversed direction of air
to product has been applied (in one module bottom-to-top, top-to- -bottom in the next one.) In the dryer construction narrow fine chambers, which by creating closed channels, enforce perpendicular flow of hot air through the product deposit. Dried goods are transported with a moving sieve, mounted bilaterally on chains. Chain rollers move along the runners.   Drier consists additionally of air takers with a filter, heaters, fans, pressure system for washing the net, carrying system, and
system channeling the condensate out.
