2.5–3.0 T/H RDF Granulator for Mixed Waste in Germany

Raw Materials and Production Requirements

The client processes mixed solid waste, predominantly sourced from industrial parks and municipal collection centers across the region. The feedstock includes:

• Lightweight plastics and packaging waste
• Cardboard and paper from industrial packaging
• Small quantities of wood scraps from carpentry and construction sites
• Textile offcuts and minor organic residues

All materials are pre-shredded to less than 50 mm to ensure smooth pellet formation. The client requested pellets with diameters between 5 mm and 10 mm, optimized for stable combustion in high-temperature industrial applications.

The decision to purchase two machines allows the facility to maintain continuous operation, even during maintenance periods, while ensuring sufficient output to meet fuel demand for local industrial clients. This dual-unit approach also provides flexibility in scheduling preventive maintenance without disrupting production, improving operational resilience.

Equipment Functions and Applications

The MZLH678 RDF granulator for mixed waste in Germany is highly versatile machine, capable of transforming heterogeneous waste into uniform RDF fuel pellets. Their primary functions include:

• High-efficiency granulation: The advanced ring die and roller mechanism compress shredded waste into consistent, dense pellets suitable for combustion.
• Adjustable pellet sizes: By swapping dies, pellets from 4 mm to 12 mm in diameter can be produced, adapting to different fuel applications.
• Fuel quality standardization: Uniform pellets ensure efficient, predictable combustion in industrial boilers, cement kilns, and high-temperature industrial processes.
• Durable operation with low maintenance requirements: The reinforced structure and high-quality rollers allow the granulators to operate reliably under demanding conditions.

In Germany, the pellets are primarily used as industrial boiler fuel for energy-intensive manufacturing plants and as supplementary fuel in cement production. This approach helps clients meet both environmental standards and operational cost targets by converting mixed waste into a stable, high-value energy source, enhancing sustainability and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

Shipping and Installation

RICHI Machinery shipped the RDF granulator from Qingdao Port, China via sea freight to Port of Hamburg, Germany, one of the largest and most efficient ports in Northern Europe. The shipping process included:

• Comprehensive sea freight management
• Documentation and customs assistance
• Pre-shipment quality inspection

Upon arrival, RICHI’s professional technical team supervised installation and commissioning. The team provided:

• Operator training and safety guidance
• Integration with existing waste sorting and pre-shredding lines
• Initial operational support to fine-tune pellet size and throughput

This full-service approach ensured a smooth installation process and immediate operational readiness, minimizing downtime and enabling the facility to start producing high-quality RDF pellets without interruption.

Technical Advantages and Features

• Versatility in raw material processing: Efficiently handles plastics, paper, cardboard, wood scraps, and textiles without modification.
• High energy efficiency: Optimized roller and die design reduces electricity consumption while maintaining high throughput.
• Customizable pellet diameters: Interchangeable dies allow adjustment from 4 mm to 12 mm.
• Robust construction: Heavy-duty die rings, precision rollers, and reinforced frames guarantee long-term durability.
