Municipal Solid Waste Dryer Manufacturer
See how we dry Solid WasteAmong MSW dryer manufacturers and municipal solid waste drying plant manufacturers, STRONGA builds FlowDrya lines that dry and lighten mixed waste and waste fines. As a waste dryer manufacturer, we configure each plant to order at our Hertfordshire works, matched to your waste stream and available heat.

FlowDrya's 3-in-1 Waste-Series MSW dryers are manufactured by STRONGA LTD, built to order in the UK as part of the FlowDrya continuous flow drying range, in production since 2012.
In a single pass, FlowDrya dries shredded, pre-trommel municipal solid waste from over 35% moisture down to around 15–20%, while simultaneously screening out heavy inert fines and separating a saleable SRF fraction – cutting landfill weight, transport cost and disposal charges.
Why Wet Shredded MSW Costs Money
Shredded municipal solid waste heading to landfill or trommel separation can carry moisture above 35%, and in wet weather 45%+. Wet material binds together, clogging screens and reducing trommel separation efficiency, so valuable fractions are lost into the fines stream while heavy inert material – stones, soil and grit, weighing around 1,300 kg/m³ – remains blended into the waste being paid for and transported by weight. Every tonne of water and heavy fines sent to landfill is paid for twice: once in disposal tax and again in haulage.
How the FlowDrya 3-in-1 Waste Dryer Works
FlowDrya's 3-in-1 Waste-Series dries shredded MSW from over 35% moisture down to around 15–20% on its stainless-steel perforated drying floor, while a sub-floor plenum and auger continuously screen out 1–5mm heavy inert fines, and an exhaust air flue conveys light, dry plastic and SRF fractions into the SRFCatcha mesh container for onward sale as recovered alternative fuel. The optional high-capacity SuperHoppa in-feed hopper (up to 50m³) supports continuous, low-labour overnight operation.
Real-World Landfill Cost Savings
On a real UK skip company's material – with a wet bulk density of 676 kg/m³, an oven-dry density of 423 kg/m³ and an estimated moisture content of 37.5% – FlowDrya's moisture removal alone was calculated to save around £50 per tonne of water removed. Processing 200 tonnes of wet waste per day removes around 75 tonnes of water daily, for an estimated saving of roughly £3,745 per day, or around £973,700 per year on a five-day week from moisture reduction alone – rising to closer to £1.5 million a year once the value of recovered heavy fines and SRF fractions is included.

MSW Dryer Manufacturer FAQs
Who manufactures municipal solid waste dryers?
FlowDrya's 3-in-1 Waste-Series MSW dryers are manufactured by STRONGA LTD (Companies House 03974884), engineered to order in the UK. The FlowDrya product line has been in production since 2012.
What does the FlowDrya MSW dryer do?
The FlowDrya is a 3-in-1 waste drying and separation system for shredded MSW and skip waste. It simultaneously removes moisture, screens out heavy inert fines such as stones and grit, and separates valuable SRF fractions, improving the efficiency of downstream recycling and waste separation equipment.
What moisture levels can FlowDrya achieve for shredded MSW?
FlowDrya reduces moisture content in shredded waste from over 35% down to around 15–20%, depending on the material type and available heat source.
How does FlowDrya reduce landfill costs?
FlowDrya lowers landfill costs by significantly reducing the weight of waste before disposal. On real UK case data, moisture removal alone was calculated to save around £50 per tonne of water removed, worth roughly £973,700 a year on a five-day week for a 200 tonnes/day operation.
Can FlowDrya improve recycling recovery rates?
Yes. By conditioning waste into a dry, free-flowing state, FlowDrya improves screening and separation accuracy, enabling cleaner recovery of aggregates, plastics, metals and SRF that would otherwise be lost in a wet, mixed fines stream.
Is FlowDrya suitable for continuous, overnight operation?
Yes. FlowDrya is engineered for high-throughput, industrial-scale operation and can run continuously, including overnight. Paired with the optional high-capacity SuperHoppa in-feed hopper (up to 50m³), it supports automated, low-labour operation.
Do you install and commission solid waste drying plants?
Yes. Every FlowDrya is fully assembled and factory-tested at Stronga's works before being disassembled for shipping. On-site installation is typically completed within days, followed by commissioning, operator training and a full 'hot test' before handover.
