ELODRY® is a low temperature sewage sludge belt dryer designed for energy-efficient and safe drying of dewatered sludge. Made from stainless steel with a compact, modular design, it reduces sludge mass by 70–80%, lowering transport needs and CO2 emissions. Integrated heat recovery minimises energy use, with a specific heat demand of 750kWhth/tonne and electrical use under 50kWhel/tonne.
