In its interior are four horizontal troughs, placed one over the other, each of which has a steam jacket. In each trough is a rotating, horizontal, tubular cluster, G, Ihrough which steam circulates, consequently the hashed cossettes are heated in the troughs and also heated during their rotating motion. The product being dried falls successively from one trough to another and circu- lates the entire length of each. When the dried cossettes finally leave the apparatus, another rotating device, in which there is no air, helps the empty- ing. The moist air from the oven is removed with a ventilator, the air pass- ing through an arrester which retains all the solid particles in suspension. The entire motive power of the dryer is transmitted by gearing outside of the dryer. The dryer proper is metal; the exterior covering, however, is wood. The dried residuum leaves the dryer at 30° C. (8G° F.). In different parts of the dryer the maximum temperature It is maintained that the following trans- One hundred pounds of residuum pulp. End View and Section of Steam Dryer, is 110° C. (230° F.). formations take place: with 10 per cent, dry matter may be considered to have been obtained from 200 pounds of beets, giving 67 pounds cossettes, with 15 per cent, dry matter and only 11 pounds of dried product containing 90 per cent, of dry substances. German experience would appear to show that there was needed for the drying 80 pounds of coal per 100 pounds of dried cossettes, without allowance being made for the motive power. Calcu- lated upon a basis of one ton of beets, this means that 120 pounds dried product demand 110 pounds coal. For the pro- duction of 10 tons of dried cossettes in 24 hours, there is needed a force of 50 It must not be forgotten that in the ques-.
