An endoscope storage cabinet includes a plurality of spaced endoscope hangers, each having a longitudinal support arm pivotably mounted at a wall of the cabinet and articulate downward toward the front of the cabinet. A valve block is supported at the upper end of each support arm and includes at least one air flow channel communicating with an air channel of the support arm. An endoscope valve interface on the valve block connects to at least one air orifice on the valve block and at least one valve of an endoscope control body and is configured to suspend the endoscope in spaced relation to other supported endoscopes and permit filtered air to flow through at least one internal channel of the endoscope to facilitate drying.

A dish dryer/warmer which is powered by steam that is exhausted from a steam kettle. A hollow inserts fits into a spout on the kettle and a hose connects the spout to the dish dryer. The steam is then funneled into the dish dryer. A set of holders inside the dish dryer are mechanically activated based on what, so that if a dish is placed into a holder then steam will be discharged directly into that holder, thereby warming the respective dish. A plurality of such holders can be present inside the dish dryer and each one is selectively activated to discharge steam when an object is placed inside a respective holder. All of the holders in the dish dryer share the same steam source (the kettle or other source).

Portable pop-up wig and accessory drying apparatus may allow personnel a portable means to dry wigs and small accessories quickly in a preferred embodiment of the invention. The invention may include an assembly of a specially configured pop-up enclosure, a piping system that strategically channels cool, warm or hot air to specific saturated portions of the articles and a mounting surface for a wig or accessories that may be attached to one end of the piping system. Forced air may be provided from an external source that connects to an adapter port that is external to the enclosure. The forced air may be channeled through the piping system in the enclosure up to the accessories or wig cap, which is usually the most saturated with moisture. The residual air may also flow through the perforations in the piping and dries the lower portion of the wig or accessories and may then escape the enclosure through strategically placed holes in the top or body of the enclosure.

A dryer for flat materials, in particular panels, films or sheets, wherein a porous gas-permeable metal plate is provided for arranging at a distance from the flat material which is to be dried, wherein an arrangement is provided for delivering a gaseous fluid through the metal plate, and wherein the metal plate is of a metal foam.

Systems and methods are provided for enhanced dryers for printing systems. One embodiment is an apparatus that includes a dryer for a continuous-forms printing system. The dryer includes heating elements located within an interior of the dryer that radiate infrared energy onto a web of printed media as the web travels through the interior, and an air knife that is interposed between the heating elements. The air knife includes a shell that directly absorbs infrared energy from the heating elements and also defines a passage for air to travel through the air knife onto the web. The shell directly absorbs infrared energy from each heating element that would otherwise overlap on the web with infrared energy from another heating element.

A washing machine with a dryer is disclosed. The washing machine includes a cabinet wherein a laundry inlet is provided on a front surface thereof, a tub arranged inside the cabinet, and including a front opening and a rear opening connected with the laundry inlet, a drum configured to rotate inside the tub, a heat pump including an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser, and an expansion valve so as to heat air provided to an inside of the drum, a steam generator configured to spray water to the condenser and generate steam by heat generated from the condenser, and a blast fan arranged on a steam supply flow channel continued from the condenser to the drum, and configured to transfer the steam generated at the steam generator to the inside of the drum.

A lower-surface center region of a substrate held by a first holder is cleaned by a cleaner. A lower-surface outer region of the substrate rotated by a second holder is cleaned by the cleaner. A mobile base provided with the second holder and the cleaner is moved in a horizontal plane such that a reference position of the first holder coincides with a center axis of the second holder in a plan view when the substrate is received and transferred between the first holder and the second holder, and is moved in the horizontal plane such that the cleaner overlaps with the lower-surface center region of the substrate held by the first holder and a center axis of the cleaner coincides with a first portion different from a center of the substrate in the plan view when the lower-surface center region is cleaned.

A seed treatment system incorporates an incline conveyor to mix freshly treated seed. A metered seed flow is maintained. A treatment applicator positioned above a tail end of the incline conveyor applies a seed treatment to the metered seed flow to form a treated seed flow. The treated seed flow freefalls into a transition zone and pre-mixes before moving upward within the incline conveyor. An eddy may form within the treated seed flow due to a partial obstruction within the incline conveyor. A prescribed amount of the treated seed flow backflows into the eddy in a cascading manner. Backflow movement may be contrary to conveyance of a substantial amount of the treated seed up through the incline conveyor. The seed treatment distributes about the treated seed flow within the incline conveyor. The treated seed flow discharges with complete cleanout at a head end of the incline conveyor.

The present disclosure relates to the field of battery production device technologies, and more particularly, to an oven and a battery assembly line production device. The oven at least includes a first oven unit, a second oven unit, a third oven unit, and a fourth oven unit that are sequentially connected in series in a conveying direction of the electrode plate. Based on drying physical characteristics of the electrode plate, the first oven unit and the third oven unit are internally provided with air nozzles and infrared heaters for drying the electrode plate by hot air and infrared rays. The second oven unit and the fourth oven unit are internally provided with the air nozzles for drying the electrode plate by hot air.
