A process for drying wet organic solids to below 10 percent by weight is disclosed wherein an infrared drying system having a housing, a conveyor extending through the housing, at least one infrared heater located within the housing, and a fan for moving an airflow stream through the at least one infrared heater and onto the conveyor. Another step in the process can be providing and feeding wet organic solids onto the conveyor at a metering rate. In one embodiment, the wet organic solids have a moisture content of about 80 percent by weight. Moisture is removed from the wet organic solids by exposing the wet organic solids to at least one infrared heating element within the drying system and an airflow stream that has been heated by the at least one infrared heating element.

Process for production of an infill material (200) for a synthetic turf surface (400), wherein the infill material (200) comprises a plurality of granules (201), the process comprising: providing particles (2) made of a plant material; tumble-drying the particles (2) for obtaining the granules (201).

A drying treatment apparatus includes: a housing having a charging port for charging crushed pieces, and a discharging port for discharging the crushed pieces; a screw conveyor including a screw blade provided in an internal space of the housing, and a driving device that drives the screw blade, the screw conveyor conveying the crushed pieces charged through the charging port to the discharging port using a pushing-out action of the screw blade; and a heater that heats the housing. In the drying treatment apparatus, the driving device drives the screw blade while the heater is heating the housing.

A cathode material integrated processing device, which dries, applies, and heat-treats a cathode material, according to an embodiment of the invention includes a support frame, a chamber part including a cylindrical body configured to accommodate the cathode material and a thick plate coupled to each of both ends of the cylindrical body to seal both the ends of the cylindrical body and configured to fix the cylindrical body to an upper portion of the support frame, a heating part disposed in each of the outside the cylindrical body and the outside the thick plate of the chamber part to heat the chamber part, a spray part including one or more nozzles, which is disposed between an upper portion and one side of the cylindrical body of the chamber part and is inserted in a longitudinal direction of the cylindrical body to spray a coating liquid to the cathode material within the chamber part through a gas, a stirring part rotatably disposed inside the cylindrical body of the chamber part to stir the cathode material within the chamber part, a driving part connected to one side of the stirring part and rotatably disposed at one side of an upper portion of the support frame to rotate the stirring part, and a control part configured to control the heating part, the spray part, and the driving part.
