- FIG. 5 is an explanatory view of the drying furnace 70
- FIG. 6 is an explanatory view showing the relationship between the evaporation curve and the wind direction of each drying furnace unit 10 constituting the drying furnace 70.
- the drying furnace 70 is formed by connecting one front end face 12 a and the other rear end face 12 b with bolts for adjacent drying furnace units 10.
- the opening 14a of one front end surface 12a and the opening 14b of the other rear end surface 12b are kept airtight by a packing (not shown).
- the material of the packing may be any material that can withstand an organic solvent, and examples thereof include polytetrafluoroethylene. If the sealing property of the packing 18 is good, the bolt connection may be omitted.
- the drying furnace 70 is installed in the drying furnace installation chamber, the exhaust blower 28 may be installed outside the drying furnace installation chamber. Even if installed in the room, the blower outlet and the exhaust port to the outside of the building are connected by a duct, so that the exhaust from the exhaust blower 28 is not released into the drying furnace installation room.
- a drying furnace 70 is configured by connecting seven drying furnace units 10.
- each drying furnace unit 10 will be referred to as a drying furnace unit U1, a drying furnace unit U2,.

It is carried into the drying furnace 70.
- the sheet 60 passes through each of the drying furnace units U1 to U7, whereby the organic solvent evaporates from the slurry application surface 62, and the evaporated organic solvent is discharged to the outside by the exhaust blower 28, and finally the drying furnace unit. It is carried out from the opening 14b of U7 and wound around a roll 74 installed at the right end of the drying furnace 70.
- the organic solvent evaporates from the slurry application surface 62 due to the action of infrared rays irradiated from the infrared heater 36 and hot air supplied from the hot air generator 26.
- each unit is considered independently, and the policy is to ensure the amount of hot air necessary to dilute the volatile solvent within that range. Even in this case, in an area where the amount of solvent evaporation is large, it is desirable to improve safety by using a mechanism that links the supply and exhaust of each unit as described above.
- the direction of the hot air is set in a direction from the outside to the inside. For this reason, it becomes difficult for hot air to blow out from the opening 14a of the drying furnace unit U1 and from the opening 14b of the drying furnace unit U7.
- the connection point is set at a position where the amount of solvent evaporation is small as described above. It is desirable.
- the evaporation curve differs depending on the slurry to be applied, it is necessary to change the connection point to an appropriate position according to the type of the slurry. In the present invention, since the direction of wind can be changed for each drying furnace unit, such an operation becomes possible.
- the sheet 60 having the slurry application surface 62 is not particularly limited, and for example, a sheet coated with an electrode for a lithium ion secondary battery may be used.

Then, it is carried into the drying furnace 70.
- the sheet 160 passes through each of the drying furnace units U1 to U7, whereby the organic solvent evaporates from the upper and lower slurry application surfaces 162, and the evaporated organic solvent is discharged to the outside by each exhaust blower 28. It is unloaded from the opening 14b of the drying furnace unit U7 and wound around a roll 74 installed at the right end of the drying furnace 170. Also in this case, similarly to the drying furnace 70 described above, the direction of hot air in each of the drying units U1 to U7 is determined based on the evaporation curve obtained by numerical simulation.

- a signal related to the amount of solvent evaporation output from each sensor S is input to the controller C. Further, a drive signal is output from the controller C to the first and second valves 31 and 32. Then, the controller C determines whether or not the solvent evaporation amount exceeds a predetermined threshold value for a plurality of continuous drying furnace units, and when it exceeds, the direction of hot air of the plurality of drying furnace units becomes the same direction.
- the first and second valves 31 and 32 are controlled. If the amount of solvent evaporation in a plurality of continuous drying furnace units exceeds the threshold, assuming that the direction of hot air in those drying furnace units is reversed, a location where the air flow stagnates occurs and the solvent evaporated there May accumulate.
- the sensor S may be selected depending on the organic solvent used in the slurry.
