The invention relates to a sludge two-grade united energy-saving drying device and a sludge two-grade united energy-saving drying method. The sludge two-grade united energy-saving drying device includes a steam generator, a heater, a direct stirring dryer, a blower, a cyclone dust collector, a filter, a steam compressor, a valve, a sludge pump, an indirect sludge dryer and a spiral feeder. The sludge pump, the direct stirring dryer, the spiral feeder, and the indirect sludge dryer are formed to be a material access; the steam generator, the heater, the direct stirring dryer, the blower, the cyclone dust collector, the filter, the steam compressor, and the valve are formed to be a first-grade drying gas flow access; the valve and the indirect sludge dryer are formed to be a secondary-grade drying gas flow access. The invention has the beneficial effects of crossing through a sludge viscous zone through a two-grade drying method, and solving the viscous problem caused by high water content of sludge in indirect drying; besides, residual steam is used as the hot source for the next-grade drying, the potential heat and a part of sensible heat of the excessive steam can be generated during the recycling and drying processes, and thus the gradient utilization of energy can be realized.
