The present invention relates to a desiccation apparatus, the apparatus comprising: a hollow drum mounted for revolution about a substantially longitudinal axis, the drum comprising a shell having an interior surface and an exterior surface; and a means to generate airflow through the hollow drum.

The disclosure discloses a solid material drying system, including a drying tower and a closed annular conveyor belt at the bottom of the drying tower. A solid material enters the drying tower through the conveyor belt, and a first airflow moves towards the top of the drying tower from the bottom of the drying tower through the conveyor belt. Side walls of the drying tower are provided with several openings, and a second airflow moves towards the outside of the drying tower from the inside of the drying tower. Blocking plates that can block the openings are disposed at positions close to and above the openings inside the drying tower, and the blocking plates are hinged with the side walls of the drying tower. The disclosure is suitable for drying solid materials, and can be efficiently and universally applied to the drying of various types of solid materials.
