The invention relates to a sludge drying process and equipment. The process is: pretreat the sludge with high moisture content until the moisture content is lower than the set value, keep the temperature of the sludge constant, and input it into the sludge drying equipment, in which the sludge is continuously discharged to the It is pushed by the mouth, and the sludge is heated to above 120°C, accompanied by continuous stirring and crushing, and at the same time, the water vapor volatilized from the sludge is continuously drawn out by the air-inducing equipment until the sludge with the required moisture content is produced. The sludge is discharged from the drying equipment. The sludge drying equipment is produced for the improvement of the traditional hollow paddle dryer. The process of the present invention is simple and easy to operate, runs smoothly, and can make the degree of sludge drying more controllable, the sludge treatment capacity is larger, and there is no risk of secondary pollution; the equipment of the present invention has simple structure, stable operating performance, and high efficiency. High, and can achieve the goal of energy saving and emission reduction, it is expected to be widely used in the field of environmental protection and in chemical, pharmaceutical, food and other industries.
