FIELD: wood processing industry.
SUBSTANCE: device comprises the first and second cylinders forming the first compression zone in which water is extracted from the wood material. A permeable endless conveyor that forms a loop around the first drum is provided. The conveyor is made in the form of a metal strip with a thickness of 0.3-2.5 mm, preferably 0.4-2 mm, and passes through the first compression zone so as to transfer the wood material from which the water is pressed through the noted conveyor. In the first compression zone, a linear load of 500-4000 kN/m is applied to the wood material. The conveyor speed is 0.3-10 m/s, preferably 0.6-5 m/s.
EFFECT: increased degree of wood material evaporation.
