Abstract
A solids dryer is post-connected to an invertible filter centrifuge, wherein a dehumidification and drying of the solids takes place in the invertible filter centrifuge by means of centrifugation, pressure gas compression and/or heat convection and in the solids dryer by means of heat contact and/or heat convection. The invertible filter centrifuge and the solids dryer are connected to one another to form a unit via a closure device. Sensors serve to measure the respectively prevailing degree of dehumidification and drying as well as to determine additional operating parameters. The sensors actuate a common control device which regulates the operating parameters. The control device carries out the regulation of the operating parameters automatically in such a manner that the operating times for the dehumidification and drying in the invertible filter centrifuge and in the solids dryer are coordinated with one another and at the same time the mechanical centrifugal energy and the thermal energies in invertible filter centrifuge and solids dryer are distributed in an optimum manner.
