3-4T/H RDF Pellet Machine for Large-Scale Energy Projects in Poland

Raw Materials and Production Requirements

The client’s raw materials consist of mixed industrial and municipal solid waste, sourced from local municipalities and nearby industrial complexes. The composition includes:

• Post-consumer plastics and packaging films
• Cardboard and paper from packaging and commercial waste
• Small quantities of untreated wood residues
• Textile scraps and minor organic residues

All feedstock is pre-shredded to less than 60 mm to ensure smooth granulation. The client required pellets with diameters ranging from 6 mm to 10 mm, specifically designed for consistent combustion in high-capacity boilers and district heating systems.

The choice of two machines allows continuous production even during maintenance periods, ensuring a reliable fuel supply for large-scale energy operations. This dual-machine configuration also enables the facility to maintain high output during peak energy demand and ensures operational resilience and redundancy.

Equipment Functions and Applications

The MZLH768 RDF pellet machines are designed for high-efficiency granulation of heterogeneous waste materials. Their main functions include:

• Uniform pellet production: The advanced ring die and roller system ensures consistent pellet density and size.
• Adjustable pellet sizes: Dies can be swapped to produce pellets from 4 mm up to 12 mm, suitable for various industrial applications.
• Fuel standardization: High-quality pellets improve combustion efficiency and reduce emissions in power plants and district heating boilers.
• Robust and reliable operation: Reinforced frames, precision rollers, and heavy-duty dies enable continuous operation under high-stress conditions.

In Poland, these RDF pellets are primarily used as fuel for industrial boilers, power generation in energy plants, and as supplementary fuel in cement and lime kilns, providing a sustainable solution to manage waste and generate energy efficiently. The uniformity of the pellets also reduces boiler maintenance and improves overall plant efficiency.

Shipping and Installation

RICHI Machinery shipped the RDF fuel pellet machines from Qingdao Port, China via sea freight to Port of Gdansk, Poland, a major gateway for industrial equipment in Northern Europe. The shipment included:

• Full-service sea freight management
• Documentation and customs assistance
• Pre-shipment inspection and quality verification

RICHI’s technical team supervised on-site installation and commissioning, providing:

• Operator training and operational guidance
• Integration support with the facility’s existing waste sorting and pre-shredding lines
• Fine-tuning pellet diameter, production rate, and throughput

The professional support ensured the machines were operational quickly, reducing downtime and enabling the facility to begin producing high-quality RDF pellets immediately. This also allowed operators to understand optimal machine performance and establish preventive maintenance routines from the start.

Technical Advantages and Features

• Wide material compatibility: Handles plastics, cardboard, paper, wood scraps, and textiles efficiently.
• High throughput: Capable of producing 3–4 T/H of pellets per machine.
• Energy efficiency: Optimized roller and die design reduces electricity consumption while maintaining production.
• Durable construction: Heavy-duty dies and reinforced frames ensure long-term reliability.
• Flexible pellet size: Dies can be interchanged to produce pellets between 4 mm and 12 mm, meeting diverse customer requirements.
• Ease of operation and safety: User-friendly controls, emergency stop functions, and safety interlocks comply with EU industrial safety standards.

The client also highlighted RICHI’s excellent after-sales support as a key factor in choosing these machines over competing brands. The combination of durability, performance, and responsive service ensured the facility could operate efficiently from day one.

Customer Feedback

After a month of operation, the client shared their feedback:

“The RDF pellet machines from RICHI have completely transformed our fuel production process. The machines handle mixed waste efficiently, producing uniform pellets that enhance boiler performance. The commissioning support and operator training were excellent, allowing us to start production smoothly. We are seeing significant improvements in energy output and operational efficiency.”

The client also noted the flexible output of the two machines, which allows them to adjust production rates according to waste availability and energy demand, making the operation highly adaptable. Additionally, the compact footprint of the machines maximized available floor space and minimized facility modification costs.
