A highly portable, self-contained, multiple-item drying system that directs an antibacterial warmed air flow stream through a series of separate flexible, expandable, conduits (hoses) to provide an efficient, inexpensive, uncomplicated drying, sanitizing, deodorizing, and heating apparatus.

The present invention discloses low cost, on-site, efficient, and compact (stationary or mobile) system for continuous (non-batch operation) conversion of waste to usable products such as sources of energy, fertilizer, etc.

A method for drying biomass fuel, including: 1) collecting and cutting raw biomass fuel into fragments; mechanically squeezing and dehydrating the fragments to yield biomass fuel in the form of filter cake; 2) mashing and loosening the biomass fuel in the form of filter cake; and loading the biomass fuel onto charging carriages of fuel transport vehicles; 3) connecting tails of the fuel transport vehicles and the carrier vehicle of drying equipment; moving the movable drying room of the carrier vehicle of drying equipment onto the fuel transport vehicles; 4) convectively drying the biomass fuel in the charging carriages; 5) exhausting air in the movable drying room following convective drying; and 6) moving the movable drying room to cover and seal the charging carriages of a next fuel transport vehicle following radiant drying. A mobile device for drying biomass fuel is also provided.

A pulp-molding process and an in-line intelligently drying apparatus therefor, comprise: implementing intelligent-circulation desiccating step and intelligently-wetting step in sequence, between pulp-dredging and forming step and thermo-compression forming step. Intelligent-circulation desiccating step comprises: in accordance to structure and/or outer contour of pulp-molding article, implementing combination of both infrared irradiation step and hot-wind blowing step, thereby self-adaptive eliminating different moistures contained within different portions of initially-compressed semi-finished product, to form evenly-dried semi-finished product. Intelligently-wetting step comprises: in accordance to structure and/or outer contour of pulp-molding article, spray-sprinkling predetermined different adaptive amount of water over different local location within dried semi-finished product, thereby forming wetted semi-finished product having averaged moisture content.
