Question 1: Why is the hollow blade paddle dryer suitable for sludge drying? What are the adaptability advantages of the sludge dryer with its hollow blade structure?
The core advantage of the hollow blade paddle dryer lies in handling high-viscosity and high-moisture-content materials. Sludge (especially municipal sludge and industrial sludge) has a high moisture content (80%-95%) and high viscosity, which easily causes blockages in traditional drying equipment. However, the sludge dryer has extremely strong adaptability to the hollow blade structure: first, the hollow blades adopt a sandwich design, where steam or heat transfer oil provides heating through the sandwich layer. When the blades rotate, they not only stir the materials but also transfer heat through the blade surface, achieving high heat transfer efficiency (the heat transfer coefficient can reach 150-300W/(m²·℃)); second, the special shape of the blades (such as inclined or spiral types) can push the materials forward, avoiding sludge accumulation and blockage, while crushing the materials into small particles to increase the heat transfer area; third, the drying process is carried out in a closed environment, reducing the diffusion of sludge odors and meeting environmental protection requirements.
Question 2: The hollow blade paddle dryer consumes high energy during operation. How to reduce energy consumption costs?
When the hollow blade paddle dryer processes high-viscosity materials, it consumes a certain amount of energy due to the need for stirring and heat transfer. The key to reducing energy consumption is to optimize the heat source and process. Solutions: first, prioritize the use of industrial waste heat as the heat source (such as boiler waste heat, steam condensate waste heat) to replace traditional electric heating or natural gas heating, thereby reducing energy costs; second, increase the feed concentration of materials. Use pre-treatment equipment such as plate and frame filter presses to reduce the moisture content of sludge to 70%-80% before sending it to the dryer, so as to reduce the amount of moisture evaporation during the drying process; third, optimize the sealing performance of the dryer to reduce heat loss, and install a waste heat recovery heat exchanger at the exhaust port to recover heat from the exhaust gas for preheating the feed or heating fresh air.
