  • Patent number: 4711038
    Abstract: Run-through brick drying plant, which operates by the chamber dryer principle. The brick loads (T) to be dried are brought through a front door (16a) into the drying chamber (K.sub.1). After drying, the brick loads (T) are removed from the opposite side of the drying plant through the rear door (16b). The brick drying plant comprises two or more drying chambers (K.sub.1,K.sub.2,K.sub.3) connected in series, each of which said chambers (K.sub.n) operates independently so that, when the brick loads (T) are shifted from the preceding drying chamber (K.sub.n) into the subsequent drying chamber (K.sub.n+1), in the latter chamber (K.sub.n+1) the drying of the brick load (T) is continued substantially from the point of the drying formula that had been reached in the drying in the preceding chamber (K.sub.n). There are at least two, preferably three or more, drying chambers (K) in series, and there are one or more groups of chambers obtained in this way, side by side.
