Eddy Dryer
The future of industrial drying
Innovative induction disc dryer technology. The Eddy Dryer heats each disc by induction instead of steam, reaching over 98% energy efficiency in a 60% smaller footprint. For fish farms it comes as fully tested sludge treatment skids.
Induction heating with exceptional efficiency
The Eddy Dryer uses induction heating to deliver unmatched energy efficiency, process control and operational simplicity. By removing steam infrastructure and enabling precise temperature management of each disc and zone, the system improves product quality while reducing operating costs and maintenance requirements.
Héðinn's induction drying has proven itself processing side streams from land-based fish farms, including the drying of salmon sludge.
Induction Disc Dryer
What induction disc drying delivers
Each feature of the Eddy Dryer and the benefit it brings compared to conventional steam systems.
Compared to <70% for conventional steam dryers.
Reduction in space requirements and plant complexity.
Precise control of every heating disc.
Optimise the drying profile across the process.
Real-time optimisation and improved product consistency.
Eliminates pressure vessel requirements and steam systems.
Fully tested skids ready for operation
For fish farms, the Eddy Dryer comes as a standard sludge treatment skid, fully tested and ready for immediate operation.
The standard skid handles farms processing up to 12,000 tonnes a year. Sludge input at 8-10% dry matter, with output of 85-95% depending on your preferences. The system is built to run 24/7 with a control system and remote connection.
