PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an equipment for high-rate fermentation and drying into which various kinds of putrefactive organic matters are put as contents, and they are heated and mixed to be treated. SOLUTION: The contents of putrefactive organic matters put into the apparatus are heated and mixed inside to be fermented and dried. Hot and humid air generated in the treatment is sent to an tightly closed circulation device installed outside the main body, where the water content is separated and discharged in the form of condensation water. The air of low temperature and low humidity after removal of the water content is converted into hot and low humid state in the course of pretreatment, and the air is sent to the inside of the main body to perform the circular processing. Thus, a high-rate fermentation and drying is made possible to be performed without leaking of offensive odor to the outside, and agitation efficiency can also be improved. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
