Premiere: First Presentation of the HUBER Sludge Turner FloorRunner® at IFAT 2024
Climate-neutral, solar sewage sludge drying is a globally used and proven technology to reduce the amount of sludge produced by all kinds of wastewater treatment plants in a sustainable and resource-saving way. Solar drying not only reduces the mass by approx. 70%, the dried sludge is also stable and odourless and opens up various disposal options. Solar sewage sludge drying reduces costs over the long term.
HUBER will exhibit the HUBER Sludge Turner FloorRunner® for the first time in Munich at the IFAT, the world's leading trade fair for environmental, water and wastewater management. This is the fifth further development of the well-known HUBER Sludge Turner.
Reduced plant costs
The special feature of the new machine is the elimination of the lateral concrete travelling walls. The HUBER Sludge Turner FloorRunner® travels directly on the floor. This further development reduces the costs of the entire plant.
Further development and advantages
The machine only requires a level concrete slab on which special stop brackets are fixed. The use of stop brackets made from standard steel parts makes installation and alignment easier and improves quality. The timing of the process can be customised. The brackets can be fitted before, during or after the machine is installed. The new design leads to reduced assembly times, which are significantly shortened due to the elimination of the carriageway walls.
No change to the proven operation
The actual and proven operation of the machine remains unchanged: With only two motors and optional sludge granulation by means of a blade, the HUBER Sludge Turner FloorRunner® can process drying beds of up to 150 m in length and offers the full range of functions of the previous machine. The specific backmixing for more efficient drying, the sludge transport and the complete turning of the entire sludge bed remain the same. The entire system can be operated fully automatically in a user-friendly manner.
Exhibit
The exhibit at the trade fair shows a section of the machine. At IFAT 2024 in Munich, visitors can get their own impression of the further developed HUBER Sludge Turner for the first time and get advice from the HUBER experts at the exhibition stand.
Prototype
The prototype of the HUBER Sludge Turner FloorRunner® is already running at the HUBER headquarters in Berching/Erasbach. The further developed version will be tested down to the last detail on a newly constructed test site and will be firmly established on the market following the successful endurance test.
The further developed HUBER system now makes it even easier to actively contribute to environmental protection in an ecologically and economically sensible way.
