Device for turning, mixing and transporting partially dried material to be dried or dried material

A device (8) for turning, mixing, and transporting material to be dried, partially dried material or dried material (10) in a drying facility, in which the material (10) is placed on a floor (12) and spread out for drying, wherein the device (8) has a rotatable axis (14) oriented substantially parallel to the floor (12), trough-like scoops (16) being arranged around and along the axis (14) such that the scoops (16) are moved around the axis (14) in a circle during rotation of the axis (14), wherein the device (8) is arranged above the floor (12) so as to be displaceable in opposite movement directions (13, 19) such that, during displacement above the floor (12), the axis (14) is moved substantially parallel to the floor (12) and in one of the movement directions (13, 19) perpendicular to the axis (14), wherein the device (8) comprises a drive device for rotating the axis (14) having the scoops (16) at an adjustable speed of rotation in one direction of rotation, wherein the scoops (16) each have an opening (17) bordered by opposing edges, wherein the two edges (18) are formed by a wall (20), which extends from one of the edges (18) to the other of the edges (18), or are each formed by a wall (20) connected to a base of the scoop, wherein, for each of the scoops, in a cross section extending perpendicular to the axis (14) and parallel to the movement directions (13, 19), it is possible to draw two straight lines (24), each of which extends radially from the axis, and which enclose an angle γ of 72° at the most, wherein, on opposite sides of the scoop (16) and independently of one another, each of the straight lines (24) either overlaps, in one section, with the wall (20) or one of the walls (20), is tangent to the wall (20) or one of the walls (20) on an outer side of the scoop (16), intersects the wall (20) or one of the walls (20), wherein an angle β between the straight line (24) and the wall (20) or one of the walls (20) is less than 15°, or intersects the wall (20) or one of the walls (20) at an inflection point of a curvature of the wall (20) or one of the walls (20), wherein the straight line (24) and another straight line (25) enclose an angle α at a part (22) of the wall (20) located at the rear in the direction of rotation or at the wall (20) located at the rear in the direction of rotation, wherein the other straight line (25) extends from one point (22), at which the straight line (24) is tangent to or intersects the wall (20) or at which the section ends at a side of the section located closer to the edge (18), wherein this point (22) does not coincide with the edge (18), to the edge (18) located closest to this point (22), wherein 0°<α≦60°.
