The preliminary mechanical processing of the dried [hemp] stalks involves some fairly vigorous handling of the raw material, including breaking, scutching and the separation of the line fibres from the tow and other by-products. The stronger, more solid fibre bundles keep their original lengths and parallelism. During breaking and scutching the weaker and shorter fibres(tow), especially those at the foot of the stalks, break away and are removed together with the hurds, dust, soil, etc.... The hurds are removed pneumatically and may be sold for use as natural fertiliser, for the heat insulation of buildings, as fuel or as animal litter... The hemp tow is then passed through a conveyer drier that can use either hot or cold air. 1, record 1, English, - hemp%20tow

In the drying chamber the hot drying air passes into the grain bed through the first group of racks, through about 30 centimetres of grain and then passes out into the atmosphere through the alternate racks. In the cooling chamber(bottom third of the drier) it is cool air that passes through the racks and grain and then into the atmosphere by the same system. 1, record 2, English, - cooling%20chamber

Entonces, para un correcto enfriamiento, la secadora debería permitir un buen período de permanencia del grano, lo cual facilitaría el enfriado y a su vez un mejor secado complementario. Para que esto sea posible, la velocidad del grano en la cámara de enfriamiento debería ser menor, ya sea ensanchando allí las columnas en las secadoras de columnas, o aumentando el tamaño de la cámara de enfriamiento. Algunas secadoras modernas, construidas por módulos individuales, uno arriba del otro, cada uno con su propio quemador, permiten con facilidad aumentar o disminuir la cámara de enfriamiento, apagando o encendiendo los respectivos quemadores. 1, record 2, Spanish, - c%C3%A1mara%20de%20enfriamiento

A column drier is equipped with one or more unobstructed columns through which grain falls by gravity. The columns are about 30 centimetres apart and are sheathed on either side by perforated screens or wire mesh which retain the grain but permit passage of air. On one side of each column, space is allowed for air entry and on the other side, air is discharged. Hot air passes across the column at the top of the drier, drying grain as it falls. In a similar manner, cool air passes across the bottom of the column to cool the grain. Some energy conservation has been achieved by recirculating part of the "spent" hot air which has passed through the heating section. 1, record 3, English, - column%20drier

Le séchoir à colonne est constitué d'une ou deux colonnes vides dans lesquelles le grain tombe en chute libre. Ces colonnes sont espacées d'environ 30 centimètres et entourées par des trémies perforés ou des treillis métalliques qui, tout en retenant le grain, laissent passer l'air. L'air entre par un côté de la colonne et sort par le côté opposé. L'air chaud traverse la partie supérieure de la colonne du séchoir et sèche le grain pendant sa descente. L'air frais, à la partie inférieure, effectue le même parcours pour refroidir le grain. On a pu réaliser, avec ce système, quelques économies d'énergie en faisant recirculer une partie de l'air chaud usé qui a passé dans la section chauffante. 2, record 3, French, - s%C3%A9choir%20%C3%A0%20colonne

These driers may run up to 100 ft. in length and... may consist of two to six decks... Methods of propulsion through the driers vary considerably : generally veneer is held flat between mesh belts or bottom rollers with idle rollers above. Steam piping carefully positioned supplies the requisite heat. The drier may be ventilated along, or at right angles to, the direction of travel, the hot air being diffused against the passing veneer. The heating chamber is enclosed in a heavily insulated framework which prevents loss of heat by diffusion or radiation. 1, record 6, English, - roller%20drier
