The challenge
The Waste Management drying problem
- ✕Mixed, variable feeds from many sources
- ✕Odour and compliance at common facilities
- ✕Volumes that grow every year
With an AS Engineers paddle dryer
Common treatment and waste facilities need continuous, enclosed, compliant sludge handling.
Why a paddle dryer fits
- Continuous operation for steady throughput
- Enclosed – controlled odour and vapour
- Dry output for fuel, cement or controlled disposal
- Modular – add capacity as volumes grow
Typical process
Dewatered sludge is dried in line with your dewatering step; vapours are scrubbed; dry product is bagged or conveyed.

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.
