Filter Press over 4 cu. ft. Batch Sludge Dryer

The HEI batch dehydration system is designed to meet the stringent environmental requirements for thermal extraction equipment.

The design flexibility of the HEI batch dehydrator allows the system to be positioned directly beneath the filtration equipment whenever possible to save material handling.

In cases where wet or dried material must be transported, HEI offers a complete line of material handling equipment.

The dehydration process is accomplished by externally heating the dehydration chamber with steam, gas, or electric heat and carefully controlling the internal dehydration temperatures and the dehydration steam exhaust.

Additionally, many wastes can be batch treated that are environmentally objectionable in a continuous dehydration system.

General operation of the HEI batch dehydration system consists of dropping a controlled amount of material through the dehydration chamber door. The process timer is set to the required dehydration time. A custom fabricated steel blender ribbon continuously turns the material exposing all surfaces for dehydration.

The HEI continuous dehydration system is engineered to meet the state of the art technology required for the future of waste minimization. At the same time ease of maintenance, control modularity and flexibility have been maintained.

The design flexibility of the HEI continuous process dehydration system allows the system to be positioned directly beneath the filtration equipment whenever possible, in order to reduce material handling labor.

In cases where wet or dried material must be transported, HEI offers a complete line of material handling equipment.

The HEI indirect heat continuous process dehydration systems are available in models with process capacities from 3 to 20 cu. ft./hour.

General operation of the HEI system starts by dropping the material to be processed into the infeed blender. The drive system, turning the blender mechanisms, as well as the infeed auger, meters the material at an adjustable rate into the dehydration chamber(s). The material is subjected to indirect heat and discharged from the chamber in a dry aggregate similar to oil dry or freeze dried coffee. In special applications, the process material can be discharged in a finer consistency.
