DEVICE FOR PRODUCING SOLID FUEL AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SOLID FUEL

摘要

A solid fuel manufacturing apparatus includes: mixture producing means configured to produce a mixture by kneading combustible waste containing moisture and a dehydrating agent acting to accelerate removal of the moisture from the combustible waste; mixture containing means configured to be cylindrical and rotatable and contain the mixture in an internal space; intake means configured to introduce outside air into the mixture containing means; exhaust means configured to discharge exhaust air out of the mixture containing means; drive means configured to rotate the mixture containing means; control means configured to control operations of the drive means; and breaking means configured to break up the mixture contained in the mixture containing means. The dehydrating agent is a treatment agent made of an emulsion containing synthetic resin; and the breaking means is placed along an inner peripheral wall of the mixture containing means 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 means.
