As described above, the gist of the present invention resides in that the processing devices 2, 2 'and the drying devices 3, 3' are disposed on the left and right at intervals in the width direction. Various structures can be considered as described below.

FIG. 9 shows that the drying chambers 21 of the left and right drying units 3 and 3 ′ are integrally formed, and left and right hot air generating mechanisms 23 and 23 are disposed at both left and right sides of the drying chamber 21. Things.

In the figure, 43 is a conveyor.

FIG. 12 shows a case where the length of the lower transfer chains 25, 25 is shortened, and the temperature of the rear ends of the upper transfer chains 24, 24 is higher than the temperatures of the other portions. is there.

That is, a pair of left and right upper front end sprockets 44 and 44 are disposed above the rear end of the processing apparatus machine frame 11, and a pair of left and right upper rear end sprockets 45 and 45 are disposed above the rear end of the drying chamber 21. And the upper transfer chain 24, 24 is suspended between the sprockets 44, 44, 45, 45, while the processing unit

And a pair of left and right lower rear end sprockets 47, 47 is provided in the lower half of the drying chamber 21.
The lower transfer chains 25,25 are suspended between 46,46,47,47.

Then, the length of the lower transfer chains 25, 25 is made shorter than the length of the upper transfer chains 24, 24, and the upper transfer chains 24, 24 are attached to the rear end of the drying chamber 21. The lower transfer chain 25, 25 forms a portion that does not overlap.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, of the six warm air generating mechanisms 23 arranged along the upper transfer chains 24, 24, each of the four warm air generating mechanisms 23 on the front side is used. The amount of heat generated by each of the two rear hot air generating mechanisms 23 is larger than the amount of heat generated, so that the temperature of the rear end portion of the upper transfer chains 24, 24 is changed to other portions ( The temperature is higher than the temperatures of the front end portion and the middle portion of the upper transfer chains 24, 24, and the lower transfer chains 25, 25).

Therefore, if the temperature distribution inside the drying chamber 21 is shown along the transfer chains 24 and 25, as shown in FIG. The rear side, and the entire forward side and the return side of the lower transfer chain 25 have substantially the same temperature T, and the forward side rear and the return side front of the upper transfer chain 24 are the same as described above. The temperature Th is higher than the temperature T.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 13B, the temperature distribution inside the conventional drying chamber 21 shown in FIG.
The temperature T is substantially the same over the entire range of 24,25.

This is because in the latter half (return side) of the lower transfer chain 25, finish drying of the laver 49 is performed. If the temperature (finish drying temperature) of this portion is set too high, the laver 49 Since cracks and shrinkage occur, the temperature of the rear half of the lower transfer chain 25 is set to an appropriate temperature T, and the temperatures of the other parts are set to the same temperature T accordingly.
Because it is set to.

However, in the middle part of the upper transfer chain 24, since the seaweed 49 still contains a sufficient amount of water, the temperature of the middle part of the upper transfer chain 24 (preliminary Even if the drying temperature is set to a high temperature Th, the nori 49 does not crack or shrink,
Drying time can be shortened, and accordingly, the production amount of laver 49 can be increased, and further, the transfer path length of the lower transfer chain 25 can be shortened. Can be reduced in size.

FIGS. 14 and 15 show Japanese Patent Publication No. 63-13663.

Are arranged at intervals.

In the processing apparatus 2 (2 ′), a conveyor 35 of the take-out apparatus 20 is disposed on a pair of front and rear peeling mechanisms 10, 10 disposed below the processing apparatus frame 11 respectively.

As shown in FIGS. 14 and 16, the drying device 3 (3 ') includes a plurality of hot air generating mechanisms 23 at the right side of the drying chamber 21 along the transfer direction of the upper and lower transfer chains 24, 25. 14 and 17, a plurality of hot air generating mechanisms 23 are also provided at the rear end of the drying chamber 21 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the transfer direction of the upper and lower transfer chains 24 and 25 (drying direction). (The width direction of the room 21). In the figure, 48 is a guide plate.

As described above, by arranging a plurality of hot air generating mechanisms 23 at the rear end of the drying chamber 21 along a direction substantially perpendicular to the transfer direction of the upper and lower transfer chains 24, 25, the drying chamber 21 is provided. The temperature distribution at the rear end becomes substantially uniform in the left-right width direction of the drying chamber 21, so that uneven drying of the laver 49 can be prevented, and the quality of the laver 49 can be improved.

Also in this case, as shown in FIG. 18, the length of the lower transfer chains 25, 25 is reduced,
The temperature of the rear end portion of the upper transfer chains 24, 24 can be made higher than the temperature of the other portions by the hot air generating mechanism 23 arranged at the rear end of 21 to shorten the drying time. it can.
