A method and device for simultaneous drying bodies of air-permeable material, comprises providing a hole in each body, the hole containing a tube having an air permeable mantle and placing the bodies adjacent each other so that the holes thereof form a continuous chamber, interconnecting two adjacent bodies by connecting the tubes belonging to the two, adjacent bodies by interconnecting members so that the two bodies abut against each other while preventing undue air leakage therebetween, the interconnecting members being arranged to allow, with a relatively small resistance, movement of the tubes towards each other but to counteract, with a relatively great resistance, movement of the tubes away from each other and establishing a pressure difference between the hole in each body and the surroundings of the body for generating a drying air flow through the body.
A method for simultaneously drying bodies of air-permeable material, comprising the steps of:
A device for drying a plurality of bodies of air-permeable material, comprising means for forming a hole in each body, means for establishing a pressure difference between the hole in the body and the surroundings of the body for generation of a drying air flow through the body;
A device in tubes for use in drying a plurality of bodies of air-permeable material, comprising an air-permeable mantle for enabling, when a tube is introduced into a hole in each body, a drying flow of air through the body between the interior of the tube and the surroundings, and means for interconnecting the tubes belonging to two adjacent bodies, said means being arranged to allow, with a relatively small resistance, movement of the tubes towards each other, but to counteract, with a relatively great resistance, movement of the tubes away from each other.
