At Fresco Water Technologies (FWT), we are a leading manufacturer and supplier of advanced Paddle Dryer systems in India, offering innovative and high-performance sludge drying solutions for industries and municipal applications. Our paddle dryer technology is specifically engineered to handle wet sludge generated from Sewage Treatment Plants (STP), Effluent Treatment Plants (ETP), and a wide range of industrial processes.
With a strong focus on efficiency, sustainability, and cost optimization, our systems ensure effective moisture reduction, volume minimization, and conversion of semi-solid sludge into dry, stable, and easy-to-handle material. This helps industries reduce disposal challenges, lower operational costs, and comply with environmental regulations.
What is a Paddle Dryer?
A Paddle Dryer is a highly efficient indirect heat transfer drying system designed to remove moisture from sludge and semi-solid materials. It consists of a jacketed vessel equipped with specially designed rotating hollow paddles that transfer heat through conduction.
Unlike direct drying systems, the heating medium (such as steam or hot oil) does not come into direct contact with the sludge. This ensures controlled, safe, and uniform drying while preventing contamination, overheating, or degradation of the material. The result is consistent drying performance with high energy efficiency.
Working Principle of Paddle Dryer
The working process of a paddle dryer involves the following stages:
- Sludge Feeding – Wet sludge is continuously fed into the dryer chamber
- Indirect Heating – Heat is transferred through the jacket and hollow paddles
- Mixing & Agitation – Rotating paddles ensure uniform mixing and exposure to heat
- Moisture Evaporation – Water content evaporates under controlled temperature
- Vapor Handling – Evaporated moisture is collected and treated through exhaust systems
- Dry Sludge Discharge – Final output is dry, powdery or granular sludge
This process ensures efficient drying with minimal energy loss and maximum output quality.
