A mathematical model of the drying of an abrasive-paper strip is derived; the behaviour of the simulated model is studied and compared with the behaviour of the real process. An optimisation procedure is developed for the estimation of optimal conditions for drying, ie minimising the time taken while ensuring the optimum quality of the product.
