METHOD AND DRYING UNIT FOR DRYING THE LEATHER SIDE OF A FUR THAT HAS BEEN FIXED AND FIXED IN THIS POSITION ON A PELLET BED

摘要

There is disclosed a method and a system for the drying of the leather side (2) of pelts (4) from furred animals, where the pelt (4) is drawn onto and stretched on the outside of a hollow distension element/pelt board (6), the surface of which has an open structure, with the leather side facing towards the pelt board (6), and where the pelt is secured in this position during the drying process by the drawing-over of a fixing-bag (5), which at least over a part of the lower end of the pelt presses this against the pelt board (6). The drying out of the leather side (2) of the pelt takes place using a new developed drying aggregate (100) with a cavity (104), wherein the pelt boards are arranged in an upstanding position and where the drying of the leather side (2) of the pelt takes place by changing the air within the cavity (8) of the pelt board (6), by changing the air in the cavity (104) with a blower unit (138) attached to, or integrated with the drying aggregate. A quicker drying of the pelts is achieved, which moreover are dried effectively and uniformly so that "black spots" on the leather side are avoided, and the pelt is fixed in its stretched position on the pelt board without the use of clips/staples.
