There are stated the findings of studies of the kinetics of drying paper for corrugating (fluting) with the use of infrared radiation. Theoretical model of the process of infrared drying is developed. There are received the kinetic regularities of drying process of corrugated board flute with the use of infrared radiation as well as basic parameters of the process, necessary for the estimation of industrial equipment. The adequacy of the model is confirmed by experimental results. It is recommended to implement for paper-processing machines producing corrugated board flute.
