The Disc Dryer efficiently dries liquid products containing solids in suspension, creating solid, dried material.
Working Principle
- The DISC dryer is built around a rotor consisting of a central shaft fitted with multiple steam-heated discs. These apply indirect heat over a very large area, in a compact design that quickly and effectively removes the evaporated water vapor. This means as much heat as possible gets transferred to the material in the dryer.
Main Design Features
- Compact design: SUNKAIER'S DISC DRYER employs a compact design, allowing installation even on a small footprint or integration into existing plants.
- Proven and durable technology: Many years of successful use of disc dryers in combination with sewage sludge incineration plants demonstrate the robust technology of the process.
- High specific water evaporation capacity: By heating the rotor discs and optionally the jacket, a high volume-specific water evaporation can be achieved.
- Maintenance-friendly dryer: Minimal effort for operating personnel thanks to automatic grease lubrication and low-maintenance direct drive.
- Extended service life: By using a special welded construction for the discs, the minimum permissible residual wall thickness can be reduced. The service life of the rotor is thus extended to a maximum.
- Control concept adapted to mono-incineration plants: In the event of fluctuating sludge quality, the DR measured online can be included in the control.
