Abstract
A solid fuel manufacturing apparatus includes: a mixture producing device to produce a mixture by kneading wet combustible waste and a dehydrating agent to accelerate dehydrating the combustible waste; a mixture containing device; an intake device to introduce outside air into the mixture containing device; an exhaust device to discharge exhaust air out of the mixture containing device; a drive device to rotate the mixture containing device; a control device to control operations of the drive device; and a breaking device to break up the mixture contained in the mixture containing device. The dehydrating agent is made of an emulsion containing synthetic resin. The breaking device is placed along an inner peripheral wall of the mixture containing device and configured to scoop the mixture upward in the internal space and allow the mixture to freely fall from above in the internal space by rotation of the mixture containing device.
