Abstract

A method of thermally treating flowable material by spreading the material mechanically on a wall of a treatment chamber, wherein resulting vapors are passed co-currently with the material in a first upstream section of the treatment zone, and counter-currently in an adjoining second, downstream, section of the treatment zone and removed from the treatment zone through an inlet to a discharge tube which inlet is generally in a transverse plane between the sections.
