Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9626403A1] The invention relates to a method for drying moist products by subjecting the products to an irregular movement and collecting and discharging the moisture that is released by the irregular movement of the products. The products are moved in an irregular manner by subjecting them to an air stream which varies over time. In this way the products are dried efficiently and quickly without risk of damaging the products. The invention also relates to an apparatus (1) for carrying out the method, comprising means for subjecting the products (2) to an irregular movement, means (44) for collecting moisture released by the products and means for discharging the collected moisture, wherein the means for irregularly moving the products comprise means (3) for generating an air stream (17) that varies over time and guiding this air stream along the products.
