System and method for drying wood items for the agriculture-foodstuffs industry

System (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600) for drying wood items for the agriculture-foodstuffs industry characterized in that it comprises:

• at least three conveyors (10, 20, 30, 210, 220, 230, 240, 310, 320, 330, 340, 410, 420, 430, 440, 520, 610, 620, 630, 640) arranged in such a manner as to constitute a closed circuit of conveyors to provide, in use, cyclic circulation of items disposed on these conveyors, at least one of the conveyors being inclined in such a manner that, in use, the items drop from one conveyor onto another;
• a so-called “exit” conveyor (50, 260, 360, 460, 521, 650) that can be activated in a selective manner at a downstream end (220b, 320b, 420b, 620b) of one of the conveyors of the closed circuit in such a manner as to allow, when it is activated, the items to exit from the closed circuit;
• a plurality of vibrators (70, 670) adapted to cause the conveyors (10, 20, 30, 210, 220, 230, 240, 310, 320, 330, 340, 410, 420, 430, 440, 520, 610, 620, 630, 640) to vibrate in a direction (F7) substantially perpendicular (13) to a longitudinal direction (F9, F12) of the rigid chute conveyors with a defined frequency and a defined amplitude of vibration;
• heating means (60, 61) above the conveyors (10, 20, 30, 210, 220, 230, 240, 310, 320, 330, 340, 410, 420, 430, 440, 520, 610, 620, 630, 640) of the closed circuit to dry, in use, the items deposited on the conveyors.
