Brute Force Concept - Solar Sludge Dryer System

• Drying of dewatered excess sludge from WWTP
• Soil remediation
• Manure drying

ARGES ® ARROBOT 2000 is a mixer that moves on a moving bridge. It has 6 axis control. Arrobot was designed and developed by Arges Concept R & D department. It is designed to achieve maximum efficiency with minimum energy.

• Right + Left
• Back + Forward
• Up and Down + Rotates on its axis

1. Load
The system, which runs in fully automatic mode, performs the loading phase first. At this stage, the sludge is loaded into the system by conveyors and gates that runs automatically to set off to the area where it will be dried.

2. Spread
Upon completion of the loading process, the sludge that reaches the greenhouse is spread evenly over the area and ready for drying by Arges Arrobot 2000 periodically.

3. Mix and Dry
Arrobot and Fans work together during mixing and drying. While the sludge spreading into the greenhouse is continuously mixed by Arrobot`s periodic movements provided on 6 different axes, drying process is realized by the air wave coming from the fans.

4. Discharge
After the mixing and drying phase, the sludge which is completely dried is automatically transported out of the greenhouse in the discharge stage.

Greenhouse is designed with inlet/exhaust and recirculation fans. Inlet fans controls air temperature and pressure inside the greenhouse. There is always a positive pressure inside the greenhouse so that no ambient air will flow into the greenhouse. Inlet fans are sucking a huge amount of air inside the green house that will as well, stops the anaerobic condition and odor will be diluted. Inside the greenhouse the drying process is not only dependent on the solar radiation but as well as on the wind effect, which is maintained inside the greenhouse by several recirculating fans. Recirculation fans maintain a steady air inside the greenhouse.

Highlights of the system

• Sludge can be supplied at any point or points by means of any way inside the Greenhouse.
• Sludge will be spreaded in transversal or longitudinally direction as operator wishes.
• No wheels tires etc.
• It is fast and consumes less energy than a full bridge.
• Good mixing of sludge combine with recirculation and supply of air will maintain odorless environment.
• It will reach to every part of the greenhouse with no difficulties.
• It has the buffering ability for wet and dried sludge inside the greenhouse.
• Optimal sludge height can be maintained at any time.
• Turning speed and movement speed can be arranged for an optimum result.
• ARGES®ARROBOT 2000 can be taken out from the green house in a short time for repair.
• Maintenance is easy and comfortable outside of the greenhouse.
• All sludge touching parts are SS 304 as standard or SS 316 as per request.
