The disclosure relates to a baking apparatus for secondary battery. The baking apparatus for secondary battery comprises: a feeding device, a discharging device spaced from the feeding device in a horizontal direction, a baking device disposed between the feeding device and the discharging device, and a transferring device. The baking device comprises a baking oven including a housing and a cover for connecting hermetically with the housing. The transferring device is configured to put a secondary battery to be baked, which is conveyed by the feeding device, into the baking oven, and take the baked secondary battery out of the baking oven and convey it to the discharging device.

A method of and system for producing Class-A fire-protected oriented strand board (OSB) sheets. Each Class-A fire-protected OSB sheet has: a core medium layer made of wood pump, binder and/or adhesive materials; a pair of OSB layers bonded to the core medium layer; a clean fire inhibiting chemical (CFIC) coating on the surface of each OSB layer, made from CFIC liquid applied to the surface by dipping the OSB sheet into the CFIC liquid in a dipping tank, allowing shallow surface absorption into the OSB layers and ends of the core medium layer at atmospheric pressure; and a moisture, fire and UV protection coating spray coated over the CFIC coating to provide protection against moisture, fire and UV radiation from Sunlight, which is quickly dried by passing through a drying tunnel on the production line.

A modular solar dryer (100) for drying and physical disinfection of ingredients is described that has a first hemispherical dome (104) that is positioned on base. A hemispherical second dome (208) is positioned below the first dome and includes hollow cylindrical cavity including utensils positioned on stand. A rectangular chamber is defined in a top end portion of the dryer (100) that includes a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) (202), a motor (204) and an air circulator (206). The PCBA includes a controller (112), sensors and motor (204). The controller is configured to operate the dryer (100) in at least two modes. Notifications from the dryer are received on a user device (114). The dryer (100) operates on two modes of operation. A first mode is with moisture content based drying and a second mode is with exposed duration drying.

A liquid removal device is for removing a liquid from a surface. The liquid removal device includes a chassis comprising a handle and an absorber drum and an extractor drum both rotationally coupled with the chassis. The absorber drum includes a cylinder, where an absorbent layer is positioned on an outer drum surface of the absorber drum. The extractor drum includes a reservoir configured to retain the liquid absorbed from the surface, an outer extractor surface, and a plurality of apertures defined by the outer extractor surface in fluid communication with the reservoir. The extractor drum is movable between a first position and a second position. In the first position, at least a first portion of the plurality of apertures are in contact with the absorbent layer. In the second position, the first portion of the plurality of apertures are not in contact with the absorbent layer.

In a lumber factory, an automated laminated veneer lumber (LVL) process supported by a lumber production line employing a cross-cutting and rip-sawing stage, a dip-coating stage, a spray-coating stage, a print-marking stage, and a stacking, packaging and wrapping stage. At the dip-coating stage, cross-cut and rip-sawed LVL product is automatically transported and submerged through a dipping reservoir containing clean fire inhibiting chemical (CFIC) liquid, and then wet-stacked and set aside to dry. Once dried, the dip-coated LVL products are returned to the production line and sprayed coated with a moisture, fire and UV protective coating at the spray-coating stage, and then passed through a drying tunnel for quick drying of the spray-coating to produce Class-A fire-protected LVL products. The Class-A fire-protected LVL products are stacked, packaged and wrapped at the stacking, packaging and wrapping stage into a package of Class-A fire-protected LVL products, ready for shipping.
