Drying unit for accommodating a plurality of elongated hollow pelt boards

摘要

A pelt processing system includes a plurality of pelt boards, each of which is operable between an expanded state and a non-expanded state by moving a connecting element relative to the bottom of the pelt board. The system further includes a holding unit, configured to hold a plurality of pelt boards, that includes a top plate having a number of apertures, each of the apertures accommodating a connecting element of a pelt board; and a blowing unit including a bottom plate spaced from the top plate, a gas inlet configured for receiving a stream of gas, and a sidewall in a fluid-tight connection with the top and bottom plates, whereby an inner space is established between the top plate, the bottom plate, the gas inlet, and the sidewall; and a release mechanism configured for causing the pelt boards held by the holding unit to assume the non-expanded state.
