Gobi Large Scale Organics Drying Systems

With quantities of up to 5,000kg per day, we can offer our largest Gobi Batch G3000 and G5000 processing systems. These units use a double U-trough and agitator design using thermal oil heating, operating on the same processing principles as our smaller Gobi Drying Systems.

When moving up in capacity we reccomend the Gobi Disc Drying systems to significantly increase throughput, these can be operated as batch processing units or for maximum capacity as a continuous process system.

Disc drying systems are typically used for low-viscosity organics, which contain high volumes of liquid, that need drying – such as sludges, pulp, biofuels, liquid digestate, blood, and milk products. But, when higher-solid-content wastes like food waste need treating, they are pre-shredded to a reduced particle size, which allows them to flow through the dryer like a fluid.

The dryer consists of a vessel, inside which there is a rotor with concave discs along its length. The rotor and the discs are heated by steam and as the rotor turns, small paddles along the discs move the material forwards towards the end of the process. As the discs have such a large surface area, this creates a highly efficient evaporation of the moisture inside the wastes.

Complete packages including reception receiver bunkers, conveyors, breakers, fine-particle shredders, storage and homogenisation tanks, disc dryers, condensers, and steam boilers can be provided.
