Technip EST Pvt. Ltd.’s Paddle Dryer is a high-efficiency, indirect heating solution for drying sludges, powders, crystals, granules, and wet solids from ZLD, chemical, pharma, food, and effluent treatment—delivering energy savings, product quality, and compliance across advanced process industries.

Features and Operation

• Indirect Heat Transfer: Hollow paddle shafts and jacketed troughs circulate steam, thermal oil, or water, transferring heat through large surface areas while gently agitating material for uniform mixing and drying.

• Robust Horizontal Design: Agitating paddles break up clumps, prevent scaling, and ensure homogeneous material movement, ideal for sticky, slurry, or temperature-sensitive wastes in ZLD and process plants.

• Continuous or Batch Operation: Paddle dryers can operate continuously or in batches under vacuum or atmospheric pressure, achieving maximum moisture reduction with efficient vapor recovery and odor control.

Advantages

• High Drying Efficiency: Reduces moisture content from up to 80% down to below 10%, making waste compact and easier to handle or dispose.

• Low Energy and Operational Costs: Excellent heat transfer and recovery options minimize utility consumption; closed system prevents air pollution and reduces foul odors.

• Versatile Feed Handling: Suitable for a wide range of sludge/waste types—chemical, pharma, ETP, textiles, metals, food, coal, ash—handling variable moisture and particle sizes with ease.

• Compliance and Sustainability: Converts hazardous, wet sludge to dry solid for safer disposal, re-use, or further processing, supporting regulatory compliance and sustainability goals.

• Low Maintenance and Reliable: Sturdy construction, automated controls, and easy cleanability result in minimal downtime and extended service life.

Industrial Applications

Paddle dryers are integral to ZLD plants, chemical and pharma processing, food manufacturing, metal and power plants, and effluent treatment facilities—ensuring cost-effective, clean, and compliant drying from small to large-scale operations.

Technip EST Pvt. Ltd.’s paddle dryer solutions offer industry-leading drying efficiency, robust reliability, and sustainability for critical industrial waste, sludge, and product drying requirements.
