APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING PULP PRODUCT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently produce a pulp product having a prescribed shape, by efficiently drying a processed object. SOLUTION: An apparatus for producing the pulp product has a housing 10, a conveyor 20 for conveying the processed object W inside the housing 10, and a plurality of hot air jet nozzles 40 formed into a pipe shape and used for jetting hot air to the processed object W conveyed by the conveyor 20. The hot air jet nozzles 40 are each arranged in chambers 30 positioned on a top side and/or a back side of the conveyor 20, so as to face the conveyor 20, wherein an opening ratio of a total area of openings of all of the hot air jet nozzles 40 arranged in each of the chambers 30 to an area of an opening of a cross section of the corresponding chamber 30 on a side of the conveyor 20 is 1.6-3.2%, a temperature of the hot air jetted from each of the hot air jet nozzles 40 is 180-250°C, and a speed of the hot air jetted from each of the hot air jet nozzles 40 is 20-40 m/sec.
