(57) [Problem] To improve the flowability of a material gypsum deposit layer in a furnace to thereby prevent the development of “unevenness” in calcined gypsum, while also reducing fuel consumption in a calcining furnace. [Solution] A gypsum calcining device is provided with: a gypsum calcining furnace (1, 3-7) having a furnace inner-wall surface that is circular or annular in plan; and a combustion pipe (2) disposed at the center of a furnace body, wherein material gypsum (M) in the furnace is calcined or dried by a high-temperature gas jet flow (Hg) ejected from a lower part of the combustion pipe. The calcining furnace includes a fixed-blade or movable-blade type auxiliary device for urging the material gypsum in the vicinity of the furnace inner-wall surface in a circumferential direction of the calcining furnace, or assisting the motion in the circumferential direction of the material gypsum in the vicinity of the furnace inner-wall surface. The auxiliary device includes a plurality of fixed blades (10) arranged at angular intervals in the circumferential direction in a lower-end outer peripheral area of the combustion pipe, or an agitator (30) penetrating through a conical surface or an inner peripheral surface constituted by the furnace inner-wall surface.
