The challenge
The Textile drying problem
- ✕High-volume ETP and dye-house sludge
- ✕TSDF disposal cost per ton keeps climbing
- ✕Little space in crowded industrial estates
With an AS Engineers paddle dryer
Textile clusters generate high-volume, high-moisture ETP sludge that is expensive to transport and dispose of.
Why a paddle dryer fits
- Sludge at ~80% moisture dries to fuel-grade output
- Calorific value typically above 1,500 kcal/kg
- Works with steam from your own boiler
- Compact footprint for crowded industrial estates
Typical process
Filter-press cake is fed to the dryer; dried sludge is co-fed to the boiler or sent for lower-cost disposal.

Inside the dryer
From sticky cake to dry granules – one continuous pass
Wet cake
Dark, heavy, sticky lumps enter the hopper.
Plastic phase
Heat softens it; paddles knead and stretch.
Shearing phase
Paddles shear the mass into crumbs.
Dry granules + powder
Free-flowing granules and fines discharge.
Illustrative moisture along the dryer. Dried output goes to fuel · cement kilns · bricks · agriculture.
