What is a Drum Dryer?
ENCON Drum Evaporators are designed for dewatering concentrated slurries and sludge to a dry landfillable condition. These systems are electrically heated, operate in batch mode, and are controlled on a time and temperature basis.

Features

High torque/low speed mixing system

Pneumatic Lifting System

Simple to operate

Concentrate, dry, & dispose of residue in one drum
Process Description

Step 1
Wrap the rope gasket around the drum so that a positive seal will be made when the clamshell walls are closed.

Step 2

Step 3

Step 4
Your system will begin heating. The lower batch of heating elements will turn on and off according to a factory set control temperature.

Step 5
The heating elements will turn off when the cycle timer counts down to zero indicating completion of the drying cycle. (NOTE: System can be restarted by resetting cycle timer if residue is not adequately dry).

Step 6

Step 7
Return process drum to dolly and fill with sludge or slurry to begin next batch.
