1.0–1.2 T/H RDF Fuel Press for Small Plants in Thailand

Raw Materials and Production Requirements

The client’s feedstock consists mainly of local municipal solid waste and light industrial residues. Typical materials include:

• Shredded cardboard and paper from local businesses
• Small quantities of plastics, mainly PET bottles and packaging film
• Minor amounts of untreated wood scraps
• Textile and fabric remnants from small workshops

All materials are pre-shredded to a particle size of 50–60 mm to ensure smooth feeding into the RDF fuel press. The client specified a target pellet diameter of 6–8 mm, optimized for efficient combustion in small industrial boilers and district heating units. Uniform pellet size was critical to reduce blockages and maximize combustion efficiency in their energy systems.

The choice of two units allows the facility to run one press while the other undergoes routine maintenance, ensuring a continuous fuel supply for their energy operations. This approach increases operational reliability and enables the plant to handle fluctuations in waste availability efficiently.

Equipment Functions and Applications

The MZLH420 RDF fuel presses are designed for efficient granulation of heterogeneous waste materials and are highly suitable for small-scale energy facilities. Their main functions include:

• Consistent pellet formation: High-quality ring die and roller systems produce uniform density pellets.
• Adjustable pellet size: Dies can be swapped to produce pellets ranging from 4 mm to 12 mm, allowing flexibility for different fuel applications.
• Enhanced combustion: Uniform pellets improve energy output and reduce emissions in industrial boilers and heating units.
• Durable and reliable operation: Heavy-duty dies, reinforced frames, and precise roller alignment ensure uninterrupted operation.

In Thailand, the pellets produced by these RDF fuel presses are mainly used for boiler fuel in small industrial plants, as well as supplementary fuel for district heating and cement kilns, demonstrating the versatility of RICHI machines in supporting various high-temperature industrial processes. The consistent pellet size also ensures minimal dust generation and improved storage stability.

Shipping and Installation

All equipment for this project was shipped from Qingdao Port, China, via sea freight to the Port of Laem Chabang, Thailand, the primary industrial port near Bangkok. RICHI Machinery provided full shipping and customs assistance, including:

• Pre-shipment inspection and quality verification
• Documentation handling for smooth customs clearance
• Technical support for transportation and on-site handling

On-site, RICHI’s engineers supervised the installation and commissioning of the RDF fuel presses. Services provided included:

• Operator training and operational guidance
• Adjusting die settings for optimal pellet size and density
• Integration with the existing waste shredding and drying systems

Thanks to the professional support, the client was able to start producing high-quality RDF pellets immediately, achieving consistent production and reliable fuel supply. This also allowed the client to establish preventive maintenance routines and operator best practices for long-term performance.

Technical Advantages and Features

• Material versatility: Handles municipal waste, industrial residues, wood scraps, and textiles efficiently.
• Medium production capacity: Produces 1.0–1.2 T/H per machine, suitable for small plants.
• Energy efficiency: Optimized roller and die design reduces electricity consumption.
• Robust design: Heavy-duty dies, precision rollers, and reinforced frames extend machine life.
• Flexible pellet size: Dies allow production from 4 mm to 12 mm, meeting multiple fuel requirements.
• User-friendly and safe: Designed with emergency stop systems, safety interlocks, and simple controls.

The client also noted that RICHI’s reliable after-sales service and technical consultation were decisive factors in selecting these machines. The combination of machine durability, performance, and professional support ensures sustained, efficient operation for small-scale facilities.

Customer Feedback

After operating the RDF fuel presses for several weeks, the client shared feedback:

“The RDF fuel pellet machine from RICHI are transforming our small plant operations. The machines handle mixed waste efficiently, producing uniform pellets that optimize our boilers’ energy output. The installation and training provided by RICHI’s engineers made the startup process seamless. We are now confident that we can scale production as demand increases.”

The client emphasized that having two machines ensures uninterrupted production and allows them to manage peak waste collection periods effectively. They also appreciated the consistent pellet quality, which improved combustion efficiency and reduced maintenance issues in their boilers.
