Abstract
A tube dryer is illustrated wherein a plurality of spaced tubes extend outwardly from a plenum to direct heated air against material passing thereby on a conveyor. The tubes are connected by inverted substantially channel-shaped members transversely disposed across the material being heat treated. The channel-shaped members have a web portion in a plane parallel to the conveyor with the tubes extending through the web member. The web member affords support for the tubes insuring their proper positioning to direct air for accurate impingement upon the material such as fabric or a layer of particulate material passing thereby and prevents snagging of the conveyor or the material carried thereby against the ends of the tube.
