Paddle dryer for industrial sludge
Efficiently drying industrial sludge poses significant challenges, including managing residual moisture levels and ensuring hygienic treatment. High energy consumption and space limitations increase the complexity of these processes.
Ensure uniform sludge drying and pasteurization
The ANDRITZ Gouda paddle dryer is designed to optimize industrial sludge drying. It features a heated trough with rotating heated paddle shafts that maximize heat transfer without a transport function. This configuration ensures excellent temperature control, leading to uniform product quality. The system’s once-through drying technology avoids back-mixing, making it highly suitable for sludge drying. The adjustable overflow at the outlet side allows for precise control over drying levels, enabling partial drying to 35-40% dry solids necessary for sludge incineration. The robust construction, compliant with ASME, TÜV, and European PED, ensures durability, even under high temperatures and corrosive conditions. The paddle dryer is ideal for various industries, including municipal and industrial sludge, biomass, and food processing.
Benefits
- Ensures uniform product quality with precise temperature control
