Sludge dryer for humid and pasty materials
Managing sticky and high-moisture materials such as industrial sludge often presents challenges such as clogging and inefficient drying processes. These materials require specialized equipment to ensure continuous and effective drying without operational disruptions.
Continuous drying of challenging materials
The Kenki sludge dryer, provided by ETIA, utilizes a unique design of self-cleaning double screw conveyors to guarantee the efficient movement and drying of pasty and sticky materials. This system operates with synchronized twin screw conveyors that carry the material through the dryer’s chamber, preventing the material from sticking to hot surfaces. The special design of the blades allows for simultaneous drying and agitation, with adjacent blades scraping off deposits from the primary blades. This ensures that even the most adhesive and viscous materials are processed smoothly and continuously. With a compact construction, the Kenki dryer requires no additional drying air installations and offers simple yet effective vapor condensation. It is suitable for various applications, including chemical, industrial, hazardous, and municipal sludges, along with food waste and other high-moisture materials. With a low drying temperature, the composition of dried materials remains unaffected, making them suitable for further use as fuel, fertilizer, and other by-products. The operating and maintenance costs are minimized due to the low running costs of using surplus steam within your facility and few replacement parts required.
