1.5–2.0 T/H RDF Granulator for Mixed Waste in Italy

Raw Materials and Production Requirements

The Italian client processes mixed industrial and municipal waste, which includes:

• Cardboard and paper from packaging industries
• Light plastics from manufacturing facilities
• Wooden scraps and pallets from local carpentry
• Minor organic residues and textiles

All materials are pre-shredded to a size below 50 mm to ensure smooth granulation. The client requested pellet diameters between 6 mm and 10 mm, optimized for combustion efficiency in industrial boilers and cement kilns.

This model is ideal for processing heterogeneous waste materials, offering the client the flexibility to produce RDF pellets from mixed raw materials without compromising quality or throughput.

Equipment Functions and Applications

The MZLH520 RDF granulator plays a crucial role in converting heterogeneous waste into high-quality RDF fuel. Its main functions include:

• Efficient granulation of mixed waste: The ring die and roller mechanism compress shredded solid waste into uniform pellets.
• Adjustable pellet sizes: By changing dies, the client can produce pellets ranging from 4 mm to 12 mm, suitable for different industrial applications.
• Fuel standardization: Uniform pellet sizes ensure stable combustion in industrial boilers, cement kilns, and power generation plants.
• Durable operation with low maintenance: The robust design ensures continuous operation with minimal downtime, critical for Italy’s high-demand industrial energy sector.

For this client, RDF pellets are primarily used as fuel for cement kilns and local industrial boilers. Some pellets are also supplied to district heating networks, contributing to urban energy supply during peak periods, improving energy efficiency and reducing fossil fuel dependence.

Shipping and Installation

The RDF granulator was shipped from Qingdao Port, China via sea freight to Port of Genoa, Italy, a major shipping hub for northern Italy. RICHI Machinery provided comprehensive logistics support, including:

• Sea freight coordination
• Customs clearance guidance
• On-site installation supervision

During installation, RICHI’s technical team ensured seamless integration with the client’s existing waste handling and pre-shredding systems. The team also provided operator training, safety briefings, and maintenance instructions, allowing the client to begin producing high-quality RDF pellets immediately after commissioning.

Technical Advantages and Features

• Versatility in raw material processing: Capable of granulating paper, cardboard, wood, plastics, and minor textiles.
• High energy efficiency: Optimized roller and die design reduces electrical consumption while maintaining production output.
• Customizable pellet sizes: Interchangeable dies enable the client to adjust pellet diameter based on fuel requirements.
• Robust construction: Reinforced dies, heavy-duty bearings, and precision rollers ensure reliable, long-term operation.
• User-friendly operation: Low vibration, easy maintenance, and simple control systems make it suitable for medium-scale industrial operations.
• Safety compliance: Equipped with interlocks and emergency stop systems, meeting European industrial safety standards.

The client noted that RICHI’s reputation for reliability, combined with technical support and machine durability, was decisive in choosing this granulator over other suppliers.

Customer Feedback

Several weeks after the RDF granulator was put into operation, the client shared their feedback:

“The RDF granulator from RICHI has transformed our waste-to-fuel process. We now produce uniform pellets with consistent quality, and the machine handles mixed waste seamlessly. Our cement kiln operations have become more efficient, and energy supply to local boilers is now stable. The RICHI technical team was extremely helpful during installation and training, making the integration straightforward.”

The client also appreciated the granulator’s compact footprint, which allowed installation without major facility modifications, saving time and capital investment, and minimizing the need for extensive layout changes.
