Exhibitor
THERMO-SYSTEM Industrie- & Trocknungstechnik GmbH
The SolarBatch concept is a batchwise process for drying sewage sludge, digestate and various other substrates.
The material to be dried is brought into the drying hall, usually by wheel loader or push-off trailer. Using free solar energy and with the help of the Electric Mole, a fully automatic turning robot, and a ventilation system, the material is uniformly dried to the desired DS content. Removal is again carried out by means of a wheel loader. Due to its simplicity and robustness, the Thermo-System SolarBatch concept is the most widely used worldwide.

The Electric Mole is a fully automatic turning robot and is used in SolarBatch and StorageDryer concepts. The robot distributes, turns, mixes and aerates the sludge evenly and in accordance with the plant configuration and drying conditions.
