The invention relates to a sludge band type drier and a drying processing method, belonging to the field of solid wastes. The drier comprises a sludge noodle preparing device, a box body, an air blower, an air flue, an air blower for exhausting the air, an air mixing cavity, an air heating device, a sludge water-cooling spiral conveyer arranged in the box body, and an air draft device, wherein the sludge noodle preparing device is arranged in the position of a sludge feeding port on the top of the box body; a feeding port and a discharge port are respectively arranged on the upper part and the lower part of the box body; a drying band and a driving device thereof form a vertical module device, and at most two layers of drying bands are arranged; one air draft device, one air heating device and one air blower form a horizontal module device; and the box body is provided with a plurality of air outlets and air inlets so that the sludge is blown by the lateral dry hot air from the side to reach a drying state. The system of the invention has the advantages of safe and environment-protection operation, short route of the sludge, high drying efficiency, less heat loss, simplicity in operation, low maintenance cost, safety, energy-saving performance, environmental-friendliness and recycling.
