Then, a first time checking step for checking whether the first reference time T ₁ has elapsed is executed by checking the time of the timer. In this case, the first reference time T ₁ is preferably about 5 minutes to 20 minutes as a criterion for judging that the residue in the drying vessel 200 has sufficiently heated and the moisture absorbed in the residue has started to evaporate.

In the cooling start step, when it is determined that the first reference time (T ₁ ) has elapsed in the first time checking step, the cooling fan 420 is operated so that moisture in the air discharged via the cooling pipe 410 is condensed do. Then, a second time check step is performed to check whether the second reference time T ₂ has elapsed. The second reference time T ₂ is suitable for 30 minutes to 1 hour to dry the residue located on the upper side of the residue in the drying vessel 200.

If it is determined that the second reference time (T ₂ ) has elapsed in the second time checking step, the agitator 210 is rotated to dry the residue uniformly. Then, a third time-checking step is performed to determine whether a third reference time (T ₃ ), which has been determined to be sufficiently dry, has elapsed. At this time, the third reference time (T ₃ ) is preferably about 1 hour to 2 hours.

And, the run time of a fourth checking step of checking whether the fourth reference time (T ₄₎ has elapsed. The fourth reference time T ₄ is a time period for driving the cooling fan 420 to condense water while the air remaining in the drying container 200 is discharged. The fourth reference time T ₄ is about 20 minutes to 30 minutes. In the cooling termination step, if it is determined that the fourth reference time (T ₄ ) has elapsed in the fourth time checking step, the cooling fan 420 is turned off.

The first time checking step may be replaced with a first temperature checking step. In the first temperature checking step, the temperature Th detected from the temperature sensor provided in the drying vessel 200 is checked, and the temperature value The cooling start step is executed when the predetermined reference temperature value Th has reached the predetermined reference temperature value.

The temperature of the inside of the drying container 200 is maintained at a predetermined value by turning on and off the hot air device 250 according to the temperature inside the drying container 200 between the stirring start step and the third time checking step Can be included as follows.

That is, in the second temperature check step performed after the stirring start step, it is determined whether the temperature value Th in the drying vessel 200 is smaller than the minimum critical temperature value Th ₁ . If it is determined in the temperature checking step that the temperature value in the drying vessel 200 is lower than the minimum critical temperature value, the hot wind apparatus 250 is switched to the on state or maintained so as to raise the temperature in the drying vessel 200, (Step of heating).

In the third temperature checking step, if it is determined in the temperature checking step that the temperature value Th in the drying container 200 is greater than the minimum critical temperature value Th ₁ , the temperature Th is less than the maximum critical temperature value Th ₂ ). If the temperature value Th is smaller than the maximum threshold temperature value Th ₂ , the third time checking step is executed.

If it is determined that the temperature value Th _{1 in} the drying vessel 200 is greater than the maximum critical temperature value Th ₂ in the third temperature checking step, the hot wind apparatus 250 is turned off so that the temperature in the drying vessel 200 is reduced. The third time checking step is executed (the direct heating step).

In the third time checking step, if it is determined that the third reference time T ₃ has not elapsed, the process returns to the second temperature checking step. If it is determined that the third reference time T ₃ has elapsed, Execute the end step.

By maintaining the temperature in the drying vessel 200 at a predetermined level for a predetermined time by the second and third temperature checking steps added above, drying can be performed most efficiently.
