Abstract PCT No. PCT/FR88/00111 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 6, 1989 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 6, 1989 PCT Filed Feb. 29, 1988 PCT Pub. No. WO88/07163 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 22, 1988.Oven for dehydrating pulverulents, sand or granules, comprising an energy-saving dehydration device, adapted to gypsum burning. The device consists of an outer casing, an inner casing and flow cones disposed on said casings. A burner and a lock complete the device. Pressure within the oven is increased by the provision of a cover, a gypsum lock and a steam valve. The process takes place in dry or moist conditions, the latter being advantageous for the processing of insulating products or for gypsum amending the nature of plaster. Heat exchange enables the products to be processed at low temperatures. The central combustion chamber prevents loss by radiation. Application to gypsum burning, during which the device has demonstrated energy savings of 50% in comparison with traditional appliances.
