ABSTRACT
Other types of indirect horizontal dryers, solid paddle and inclined flight are shown in Figures 6-4 and 6-5 respectively (courtesy of Tsukishima Kikai Co.).
Steam heated inclined flight dryer (Figure 6-5) originates from the jacketed dual-shaft screw conveyors. Both rotor and stator conduct heat. Biosolids are transported and mixed by solid (not heated) flights in a plug-flow fashion eliminating the need for paddles or scraper bars. The rotor speed is relatively high

(30 - 45 rpm) which ensures good mixing and heat transfer. Typical product dryness is in 45 - 60% TS; SER is 10 - 20 kg H2O/m2 • hr. Granulation is poor (5 - 40 mm, with lumps). These dryers are also used in Japan for drying prior to incineration or for volume reduction.
