1. Optimal drying performance:
The drying conditions can be optimally adapted to the current DR content of the sludge at any time. This is not possible in the case of continuous processes, in which dry and moist sludge are in one chamber at the same time.
2. Desired DR content achievable at will:
Climatic variations are completely compensated for. At removal time, all the sludge in the shed automatically has a homogeneous DR content.
3. Flexible storage and quick loading for transport:
When drying is complete, the entire filling of a shed is ready for removal. Even large lorries can be loaded completely without separate, intermediate storage.
4. Minimum working times:
Loading takes only a little working time, and can be fully automated if necessary. The drying is also fully automatic.
5. Minimal maintenance effort:
Because very few parts come into contact with the sludge, the maintenance effort is minimal. The Electric Mole™ can be removed from the shed at any time and serviced in a suitable place.
6. Minimal energy requirement:
With the climatic controls, all units are operated only when it is really worthwhile. The intelligent drying and ventilation concept ensures that the energy requirement is extremely low.
7. Utilisation of waste heat:
Thermo-System solar drying plants allow the integration of additional heat sources, such as waste heat from district heating power stations, production processes or furnaces. With the intelligent Thermo System climate control, the additional heat is optimally utilised, and the area required and the dependence on the weather are considerably reduced.
8. Maximal reliability of operation:
The batch operation makes the dying plant very tolerant. Faults are not time-critical. And the Electric Mole™ can be exchanged with just a few touches.
