Abstract: A board drying apparatus includes a pair of fork conveyors provided in a housing and disposed vertically with spacing therebetween. Each fork conveyor has a number of extension arms fixed at to said fork conveyor to extend substantially at right angles therewith. These extension arms of both of the fork conveyors are associated with each other in such a manner that each of the extension arms of one of the fork conveyors is arranged at the same level as the associated extension arm of the other of the fork conveyors and that the extension arms on the inner side of each fork conveyor are opposed to each other and move downwardly at the same speed. A board to be dried is supplied to the uppermost horizontal extension arms at the inner sides of the fork conveyors and is carried downwardly by the extension arms during which the board is dried by heated air circulated through space between the fork conveyors in the lengthwise direction of the boards.
