Spanner Re² sloping ground dryer - flexible and cost-effective
With the sloping floor dryer, the wood chips are distributed over a large area on an angled floor (angle approx. 40° to 45°). The slanted floor consists of air-permeable metal sheets.
The warm air flows through the air slits of the sheets from below, drying the wood chips above. The warm air can either be taken from the installation room of the wood gasifier system or generated by a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger can also be operated manually and, in the ideal case, is only switched on during the cold season (assuming that the sloping floor is directly connected to the plant room). The wood chips are distributed on the inclined floor with a front loader or wheel loader, for example. In the course of the drying process, wet wood chips can be re-layered from the bottom to the top or dry wood chips can be transported to a storage bunker for storage.
The sloping ground dryer is a particularly cost-effective type of wood chip drying technology and it has more space available for storage and drying. Depending on the customer's request, the wood chips can also be removed via a screw conveyor.

Assessment
This section contains a brief assessment of the FEFTS described.
There are 3 basic categories: General, Environmental and Socioeconomic assessment.
The purpose of this assessment is to give a quick overview to the potential FEFTS user of its application benefits.
For each question, the Likert scale is used with the following possible answers:
Strongly disagree, Disagree, Neither agree nor disagree (Neutral)/non applicable, Agree, Strongly agree
General
This FEFTS contributes to improve the energy profiles of farming systems:Environmental
The application of this FEFTS directly reduces fossil energy use, in terms of:- Buildings heat use
- Tools and equipment electricity consumption
- Tools and equipment fuel consumption
Socioeconomic
The application of this FEFTS contributes to cost reductions of farming systems:Keep in mind that this assessment is subjective, based on publicly available information.
All registered users are asked to evaluate each FEFTS and when an adequate number of reviews is gathered the results depicted here are updated. Each review is screened in order to avoid malicious practices.
FEFTS providers who do not agree with the assessment results, can send their inquiry to info@agrofossilfree.eu and a direct action based on their petition will be taken.
