Products & Services

Generating Energy from Waste Materials
Waste Management and Recycling

STELA offers customised, modern and efficient drying solutions for a wide range of recycling and waste products.
STELA can draw on decades of experience in low-temperature belt drying, particularly in the areas of the following drying products.

  • Municipal solid waste (MSW), simply put (household waste)

  • SSW (solid shredded waste)

  • RDF (refuse derived fuel)

  • Sludge waste, such as sewage sludge, but also other dimensionally stable sludges

  • Biomass waste, such as sawdust, bark, green waste, sugar beet, bagasse

  • Other waste bulk materials

Belt dryer for drying of sewage sludge / bio solids

By means of drying, the end product of wastewater treatment and its organic and mineral ingredients can be reused in a sustainable and profitable way. When dried, the resulting sewage sludge is becoming increasingly popular as a source of fuel and phosphorus. The right STELA belt dryer ensures a favourable energy balance and the consistent quality of the end product.

Belt dryer for drying biomass

STELA belt dryers are suitable for drying a wide range of biomass products, including OSB strands, sawdust, bark, microchips, wood chips, hog fuel, coconut fibers, and bagasse.
These materials can be processed efficiently to reduce moisture content and improve consistency for further use in energy and pellet production.

Belt dryer for drying of alternative fuels

STELA belt dryers are designed for efficient RDF drying, helping convert refuse-derived fuel into a more consistent and usable fuel product.
RDF, or refuse-derived fuel, is an energy-rich waste fraction that is prepared from sorted waste streams for use as an alternative fuel.
With reliable moisture reduction and robust product design, STELA supports efficient RDF processing in modern recycling and waste-to-energy applications, e.g. for cement plants.
