WendeWolf | Solar Sludge Drying
WendeWolf | Solar Sludge Drying
The WendeWolf® System includes a tiller & turner machine that processes dewatered sewage sludge cake into a dry granulated product.
The WendeWolf® machine is installed inside a drying hall or greenhouse and runs on two dwarf walls that are 11.3 m apart and 850 mm high, over 124 m in length (equivalent hall length is 130m). The greenhouse serves to prevent rain from re-wetting the sludge, and capture solar radiation to evaporate the moisture from the sludge.
Standard Features of WendeWolf® system
- WendeWolf® machine i.e. tiller and turner assembly
- Control Hardware and Software, including Operation Switchboard and Machine Switchboard
- Festoon system that includes power cable
- Ventilation fans; quantity depends on hall length
- Four (4) safety lanyards with emergency stop pull switches; two (2) on the WendeWolf® machine and one (1) at each entry to the drying hall
- One (1) set of Meteorology Instruments installed inside each drying hall
- Position Labels installed along the length of the drying hall
Additional Features & Functions
- Control system has pre-set programmes to operate the process. These pre-set programmes are operator adjustable, and by combining these into a sequence, all plant operation is automated.
- Loading – used to import and flatten input piles of sludge into the hall, and to spread it across the width of the hall, over a selected length in the hall.
- Turning – used to turn over the sludge for a selected sludge bed depth, over a selected length in the hall. Turning can occur in both directions; there is no preferred direction.
- Displacing – used to move the sludge for a selected sludge bed depth, over a selected length in the hall. Displacing can occur in both directions.
- Accumulating – used to accumulate or stockpile dried granulate product
- Clearing (optional) – used to remove dried granulate product from the end of hall, where an automated out-loading system is available
Benefits
- Can operate in Batch mode or Continuous mode without changing the programming.
- Turns over and conveys the sludge homogeneously in one single process along the full width and length of the hall.
- Can handle dewatered cake input piles up to 110 cm high.
- Operates (Turning and Displacing) a sludge bed depth up to 40 cm.
- Can stockpile the dried granulate product up to 80 cm high.
- Does not touch the floor, and therefore does not damage the floor. At start-up the WendeWolf® machine’s on-board sensors are used to “map” the floor surface. This process determines the minimum operating height from the floor across the width and length of the hall.
- Can be used to “back-mix” dried granulate with wet sludge (as an option if required).
- Uses robust, low wear, easy to maintain, and exchangeable tilling tools.

MAK Water’s WendeWolf system uses a tiller-and-turner machine to process dewatered sewage sludge cake into dry granulate inside a drying hall or greenhouse. Its adjustable preset programmes can be combined into sequences, automating plant operation through the control system. For sewage-sludge processing, it supports batch or continuous operation without a programming change, giving operators either mode on the same system.
- Handles input sludge piles up to 110 cm high
- Turns and displaces sludge beds up to 40 cm deep
- Can stockpile dried granulate up to 80 cm high
- Optional back-mixing combines dried granulate with wet sludge
- Four emergency-stop pull lanyards: two on the machine, one at each hall entry
