Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

In the seaweed production apparatus 1, while the seaweed cage holder conveying means 4 conveys the seaweed cage holders 3 intermittently at a predetermined pitch, the paper making machine 6 is spread on the seaweed cage holders 3. Nori seaweed is made on the top, and the water absorbing machine 7 absorbs water from the seaweed just after making the paper through the seaweed holder 3, and the dehydrator 8 further dehydrates the water from the seaweed. Thereafter, the seaweed is transferred together with the seaweed holder holder 3 from the seaweed holder holder 4 to the first stage 23 of the first seaweed holder holder 12 in the drying chamber 11.

In the seaweed drying apparatus 2 of this embodiment, the seaweed delivered to the first stage of the first seaweed holder transporting means 12 is accompanied by the intermittent progress of the blade chain forming the first stage 23. , With the seaweed holder 3, the bottom of the drying chamber 11 is turned to the back. At this time, in the present embodiment, the partition plate 33 is fed from the dry air supply means 27 through the dry air outlet 32 into the drying chamber 11, and the dry air is moving in the first stage 23 portion of the seaweed. It prevents you from hitting directly. To the seaweed moving in the first-stage 23 part, the radiant heat from the partition plate 33 heated by the dry air, the entrance 11a of the drying chamber 11 and the part without the partition plate 33 in the inner part are passed to the nori seaweed. The drying air that reaches the first-stage 23 portion is dried with a small amount of heat energy. To further explain, the seaweed transported in the first stage 23 portion, especially the seaweed of autumn buds and frozen first buds, has a large amount of water content in the cells of the leaf body, but in this example, it is sharp as in the past. Since it is slowly dried without being dried, the water content in the cells of the leaf body is gradually heated and raised in temperature.

In this way, the seaweed gradually dried in the first stage 23 is the first seaweed holder holder 12
