Drying device for drying hygroscopic material to be dried

A drying device for drying hygroscopic material to be dried, during a drying process, comprising:

• a) at least one drying chamber for accommodating the material to be dried;
• b) an air conditioning means for setting a drying climate in the drying chamber during a drying process;
• c) the air conditioning means being designed in such a way that the drying climate is set, at least in part, as a function of a moisture of a material to be dried;
• d) bar-like support devices for storing the material to be dried in the drying chamber during the drying process;
• e) at least one bar-like support device having a measuring means for measuring a weight of the material to be dried that is stored on the bar-like support devices;
• f) the measuring means being in signal transmission connection with a control apparatus that is designed and programmed in such a way that the moisture of the material to be dried is determined from the weight that is measured by the measuring means;
• and
• g) the control apparatus being designed and programmed for controlling the air conditioning means in such a way that the drying climate is set as a function of the moisture of the respective material to be dried that is determined by the measuring means.
