ABSTRACT The principles which should be followed for the safe drying of clay products are discussed. These are as follows: (1) direction of air circulation, (2) rate of air circulation, (3) humidity, (4) the use of clear air, (5) temperature of air in drier. A pallet system is proposed as an ideal manner of arrangement in the drier for drying brick, hollow tile or drain tile, and similar heavy clay products.
