Advantages of drying with the SludgeManager™

1. Continuous material flow:
The SludgeManager™ permits continuous material flow – from dewatering to loading for transport or disposal. The SludgeManager™ is of particular interest as a sludge-treatment process in the case of continuous dewatering processes, and when the dried material is continuously utilised (burned or gassed).

2. Point-to-point conveying:
The possibility of  point-to-point conveying reduces the need for additional units for loading and removing to a minimum, and increased reliability of operation. Furthermore it is possible to load and remove the sludge from the same side of the shed.

3. Minimal working times:
The fully automated operation means that the working hours required are few.

4. Flexible storage and sludge buffer:
The plant concept allows even large quantities of several hundred tonnes of sludge to be stored temporarily in the plant. This makes the intake and output of the sludge very flexible.

5. Ease of maintenance:
The maintenance effort is low, because only few parts come into contact with the sludge. In addition, the turning unit, which is made entirely of stainless steel, can be removed from the shed at any time, and serviced in a more 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.
