Apparatus for moving containers containing substances, comprising a plane, for the transport, movement and at least temporary storage of said containers, mobile along transit paths developing at least along an axis of movement to serve several machines or user devices.

A freeze-drying apparatus (1) includes an arrangement of individual product platforms (19) that are supported vertically in a frame (20) in a drying chamber, in which each platform is able to be moved to a shift level, in which lateral guides (20, 21) designed to support a carriage (15) are arranged with a fixed height position, and which cooperate with the guides (16, 18) of a loading and unloading device (49). All product platforms (19) in the drying chamber can be loaded by repeating this operation cyclically. The freeze-drying apparatus (1) comprises an electrical drive unit powered by a battery (44).

Embodiments provide a veneer dryer system and methods of constructing, relocating, and replacing veneer dryers and other constructs such as lumber kilns, machinery, and processing lines or parts thereof. Embodiments of a veneer dryer system may include a track and a veneer dryer movably coupled with the track. The track may extend between the desired location of the veneer dryer and a construction location. Movers may be coupled with the track at the construction location. The veneer dryer may be partially or fully constructed on the movers and moved to the desired location for use. A pre-existing veneer dryer at the desired location may remain operational during the construction and removed before the new veneer dryer is moved into place, substantially reducing downtime and costs as compared to prior methods of replacing veneer dryers.

Systems and methods for treating wood and wood products, including a structure defining a wood treating zone, an air heating zone, a heated air supply zone, and a cooled air return zone. Heating units feed conduits defining one or more heat transfer surfaces and an indirect heat exchange substructure. The heated air supply zone includes left and right heated air plenums, and the cooled air return zone includes a return duct, all internal of the wood treating zone. A movable cart moves spaced apart, stacked wood products into and out of the wood heating zone. The cart and wood thereon fit closely within but do not touch the wood treating zone. An air blower internal of the heated air supply zone and in fluid communication with the air heating zone and the heated air supply zone recirculates air. An exhaust blower vents some of the cooled air.

The present disclosure provides a condensing plate. The condensing plate comprises a body. The body comprises a first face and a second face opposite to the first face. The first face is provided with a condensing part and a solvent storage structure. The solvent storage structure is configured to store a solvent and release, along a direction away from the second face, gas formed by the solvent after evaporation.

Disclosed is a substrate support structure, a vacuum drying apparatus and a method for vacuum drying a substrate. The substrate support structure comprises: a support pin having a top end for supporting a substrate; and an auxiliary support assembly including: a drive device; a support rod driven by the drive device; and a support disc disposed at a top end of the support rod and made of flexible material adapted to support the substrate, wherein the drive device is configured to drive the support rod to move in a direction parallel to an axial direction of the support pin so as to make the support disc positioned below or above the top end of the support pin as the support rod moves, so that the substrate is selectively supported by the support disc or the support pin. The substrate support structure, the vacuum drying apparatus and the method for vacuum drying a substrate can prevent the substrate from being easily scratched and avoid poor quality and uneven brightness of the substrate.

An apparatus for drying an electrode plate includes a drying furnace configure to dry an electrode plate having a slurry coated thereon, an over-heated steam supplier configured to supply the drying furnace with over-heated steam as a drying heat source, a circulation fan configured to inhale at least some of the over-heated steam discharged from the drying furnace and to introduce the inhaled over-heated steam back into the drying furnace, an exhaust fan configured to inhale at least some of the gas exhausted from the drying furnace, and a heat exchanger configured to exchange heat of the exhaust gas supplied from the exhaust fan.

An apparatus and a method is provided for continuously drying bulk goods, in particular wood fibers and/or wood chips, in a dryer, wherein the drying vapors are led to a dryer circuit, in which the drying vapors are indirectly heated via a heat-exchanger and are conducted to the dryer again.

A vacuum drying system includes: a support platform, which is used to support the substrate, wherein the support platform comprises a plurality of sub-platforms which are arranged along a predetermined direction and there are gaps between the adjacent sub-platforms; a mechanical arm which comprises a plurality of strip structures at positions corresponding to the gaps, and is used to place the substrate onto the support platform or move the substrate out of the support platform. Comparing to the prior art wherein the substrate is supported by a plurality of needle-shaped supports in the vacuum drying process, in the technical solution of the present disclosure, the contact area between the support platform and the substrate is much larger, which can reduce the local pressure on the substrate, thereby avoiding the display brightness mura of the substrate caused by the supporting operation in the vacuum drying process.

A plant curing and drying hanger apparatus for use with harvested plant material which includes a primary frame, a plant support bar and one or more separators arranged to space from one another plant sections positioned on the support bar. The plant support bar is hingedly coupled to the primary frame. A latch releasably joins the plant support bar to one end of the primary frame so that an end of the plant support bar can be dropped away from the primary frame to enable the insertion and removal of plant sections into the spaces between adjacent separators to allow for effective plant drying and efficient loading and unloading of plant material without damaging the product.
