16 January 2024

With over 15 years of unparalleled expertise, TIC Technology Co., Ltd. stands as a trailblazer in the field of disc dryers. Our extensive experience has propelled us to the forefront of innovation, making significant strides in diverse application areas, including Coal, Fishery, Lignite, Agricultural, Wastewater, Pharmaceutical, Construction, Microelectronics, Oil Emulsions, Animal Feeds Pulp & Paper, Lumber kilns, Lumber Mill, Paper Sludge, Plant Generation Food & Beverage, Metals & Mining, Industrial & Municipal, Refining & Chemicals, Oil, Gas & Renewables, Commercial & Facilities,  Printing & Dyeing, Refuse Derived Fuels, Fossil to biomass conversion etc.. Continuously evolving, we are committed to pioneering new solutions in the ever-expanding realm of drying technology.


Disc Dryer Solution


Here are the drying solutions:

· Sludge Drying Process

The wet sludge is transported by sludge truck to the wet sludge silo for storage, falls from the discharge port, then transported to the disk dryer through conveying devices. The steam, as heating medium, transfer heat through the jacket, hollow shaft and hollow plate. The sludge is dried indirectly.

The water vapor pass through the induced draft fan to the cyclone dust collector with small slagging, then sent to the condense. The non-condensable gas is sent to the boiler for incineration or deodorization system for treatment to reach the discharge standard.

The dry sludge is transported to dry sludge bin through the conveying device for subsequent disposal.

·  Thermal Power Plant or Refuse Power Plant Collaborative Disposal Process

Utilizing the collaborative disposal of sludge with a thermal power plant offers dual benefits. It harnesses the steam generated from power generation as a drying heat source (optimally selected based on parameters). Additionally, existing incineration and exhaust treatment facilities are utilized, saving on both investment and operating costs.

The dried sludge is transported to the coal yard, mixed uniformly with coal, and enters the boiler for incineration through the power plant's coal conveying system.

·  Drying Incineration Process

Fluidized bed incineration of sludge proves to be a superior solution. With intense turbulence, extended gas turbulence time, and uniform temperature distribution, it efficiently combusts at relatively low temperatures and reduced excess air, achieving high destruction and removal rates of harmful substances. Employing graded combustion, addition of alkaline substances significantly lowers the content of acidic components (SOX and HCL) in the flue gas.

Fluidized bed incineration, characterized by high thermal load, facilitates scalability, lacks high-temperature equipment, and boasts a long lifespan with low operational and maintenance costs.

The system comprises sludge conveying system, sludge drying system, incinerator, waste heat steam boiler, flue gas treatment, ash collection & conveying system etc..

·  Cement Kiln Collaborative Disposal Process

Wet sludge is transported by a sludge truck to the wet sludge silo, and then pumped into the dryer. The exhaust steam from AQC or SP boiler or back- pressure steam turbine is used as the heat source for the dryer.

Once quantitatively fed into the dryer, the wet sludge undergoes a slow rotation of the disk, causing it to flip and mix continuously. This ensures the constant renewal of the heating interface, allowing thorough contact and heat exchange with the heated body and disk. The surface moisture in the sludge evaporates during this process. Simultaneously, the sludge is pushed towards the discharge outlet by the guiding mechanism, continuing to mix during transportation, achieving optimal drying.

The dried sludge is discharged through the outlet and conveyed as auxiliary fuel to be incinerated in the cement rotary kiln for disposal.

·  Kitchen Biogas Residue Drying Process

A new process scheme of material digestion + semi-drying system is put forwarded.


The system comprises two core sections: one is the anaerobic digestion system for materials, the other is the thermal drying system of materials.

The organic integration of these two sections aligns with national policies and overall strategies for the disposal of kitchen waste and sludge.

Thoroughly implement the harmless, stabilization, reduction, and resource recovery process route for the treatment and disposal of kitchen waste and sludge.

·  Gypsum Drying Process

After desulfurized gypsum is conveyed to the raw material workshop, it undergoes screening and enters the belt-scale for measurement. Subsequently, the material is uniformly fed into the disc dryer for drying. Post-drying, it is conveyed to the calciner for sintering into construction gypsum via a screw conveyor and bucket elevator.

The construction gypsum from the calciner is transported to the ball mill, where metal balls continuously impact and grind the gypsum, achieving milling modification. It is then stored in the construction gypsum silo. The silo bottom is equipped with a bulk machine and ton-bagging machine, realizing bulk, ton-bag, and small-bag packaging for shipment.

·  Coal Sludge Drying Process

The truck-loaded coal sludge is transported to the silo, then to the disc dryer through the conveying device. The saturated steam, as heating medium, transfer heat through the jacket, hollow shaft and hollow plate.

The sludge is dried indirectly, generating water vapor that is directed through the system's induced draft fan to the cyclone dust collector + baghouse dust collector. A small amount of residue is discharged, and the vapor is released. The dried coal slurry is transported to the dry material silo for temporary storage, ready for subsequent disposal.

·  Fish Meal Drying Process

The fish meal dryer is a device with heat source (usually steam) to dry the solid residues from the cooking process in fish meal production, obtaining the final fish meal product.

The processing of fish meal typically involves many steps, such as cooking, pressing, separation, drying, and grinding. It usually utilizes one or more types of fish as raw materials, including raw fish, fish fillets, and by-products. After iron removal with magnetic separation equipment, the material enters the hopper and is continuously fed into the cooking machine via a screw conveyor. After cooking, the material enters the press directly, undergoes pressing by twin screws, with the pressed juice entering the juice tank and the pressed cake entering the dryer. The concentrated protein water is added to the dryer for drying. The pressed juice undergoes preliminary settling, is then sent to the heating tank, heated to a certain temperature, and further processed in a three-phase horizontal screw centrifuge to separate fish solids and fish liquid. The fish solids are returned to the dryer, and the fish liquid is sent to a disc-type separator for oil-water separation. The separated fish oil undergoes further processing to obtain the final fish oil product.
