The justification of the use of microwave radiation to dry flax in the tape

Еhe article substantiates the necessity to dry the stalks of flax trusts prior to mechanical processing by means of installations with less energy- and metal consumption. A new method to dry flax in the tape using microwave energy is offered. The main parameters that control the process of microwave flax drying are determined. Preliminary results of experimental researches of the new method to dry flax in the tape using microwave energy are presented.
