The invention relates to pole piece drying equipment, which is characterized in that: the equipment comprises an infrared baking chamber and a blast baking chamber, wherein the infrared baking chamber is provided with an infrared generation device; and the blast baking chamber is provided with a hot air generation device and air vents. The invention also relates to a pole piece drying method, which is characterized in that: the method uses the pole piece drying equipment, and comprises the following steps: baking a pole piece to be dried in the infrared baking chamber, and then baking the pole piece in the blast baking chamber. By adopting an infrared and blast staged drying mode, the pole piece drying equipment and the pole piece drying method can significantly improve the bond strength and the bond consistency of pole piece dressing to reduce the condition of material drop of the pole piece in a circulation process and make the pole piece more stable. Simultaneously, a battery pole piece manufactured by the drying method has resistivity significantly smaller than that of the pole piece manufactured by other drying methods, and has good resistivity consistency.
