The present invention relates to a laver drying machine in which a main transfer chain transferring a laver drying screen hanger while being driven in a first unit intermittent transfer cycle for repeatedly moving and stopping by a main driving part is installed on a frame to be circulated in an endless track. The laver drying machine comprises: a sub-transfer chain installed in a frame to be circulated to a molding position of a molding part along an independent circulation track separated from a transfer track of a main transfer chain; a sub-driving part for driving the sub-transfer chain to perform an intermittent transfer motion while repeatedly moving and stopping in a second unit intermittent transfer cycle to which a second movement time and a second stop time, which are differently set from a first movement time and a first stop time applied to the first unit intermittent transfer cycle of the main transfer chain, are applied; and an track switching part for switching the track from the main transfer chain to the sub-transfer chain to transfer a plurality of laver drying screen hangers to the molding part, and switching the transfer track of the laver drying screen hangers to be transferred by the main transfer chain when reaching a return position after passing through the molding part. The first stop time applied to the first unit intermittent transfer cycle is set shorter than the second stop time applied to the second unit intermittent transfer cycle, the first movement time of the main transfer chain is applied to move the laver drying screen hangers, and a second average transfer speed applied to the sub-transfer chain with respect to a first average transfer speed, which is the average transfer speed of the main transfer chain, is set such that the laver drying screen hangers are returned to the return position of the main transfer chain by the track switching part after being transferred to the sub-transfer chain.본 발명은 메인 구동부에 의해 이동 및 정지를 반복하는 제1단위 간
