Sludge Dryers are designed for supplemental dewatering of filter cake (>25 wt% solids) up to 90%, greatly reducing waste volume and weight. Waste disposal costs can be reduced by 75%.
The Enviro-Dri Sludge Dryer is typically used in conjunction with a filter press where the filter press discharges its cake directly into the dryer. This integrated design provides a small footprint.
Low-pressure steam (25 psi) contained in a steam jacket provides heating energy while the sludge cake is mixed within the dryer. Manual or hydraulic operation is available for inlet and outlet doors.
