Sludge dryer for humid and pasty materials
Effortlessly manage pasty and sticky materials with a sludge dryer that ensures continuous drying without clogging, perfect for achieving low moisture levels in challenging feeds.
The Kenki SHTS, developed by Kenki Corporation, is a cutting-edge sludge dryer tailored for processing high-moisture, sticky sludges across various industries. Utilizing twin screw technology, it ensures continuous and clog-free drying by synchronizing twin screw conveyors that crush, agitate, and convey material efficiently. This system is primarily applied in chemical, municipal, and food industries, transforming sludges into value-added products like biochar and organic fertilizers. While precise throughput information is dependent on material type and density, its design supports continuous, automated operation with minimal supervision, reducing labor and maintenance costs. Powered by saturated steam, the dryer features low energy consumption and maintains low operating temperatures, ensuring safety and preserving the integrity of organic materials. Its robust construction and modular design allow for easy integration into existing production lines, suitable for various slurry and cake types. The Kenki SHTS is an excellent choice for those seeking effective sludge management, offering significant reductions in waste management costs and enhancing by-product valorization.
