- In 2003 the Business Area secured only two orders for larger drying plants. Through its subsidiary Andritz-Ruthner, Inc. one DDS drum drying system and two D5LL centrifuges were sold to Pierce County, WA, USA.
Another DDS system including sludge incineration was purchased by an Austrian customer who will treat sludges from the City of Linz and neighboring municipalities. This plant is equipped with a granulate combustion unit which generates all
of the heat required for the drying process by burning the dried granulate and therefore operates at very low costs.
- The newly established affiliate Andritz
3Sys AG, Switzerland was very successful in its first full year of operation. It sold five belt drying plants in Austria, Switzerland, France, and Germany, the first of which was successfully put into commercial operation.
