Waste Shredder in Brazil

This is a project about waste shredder in Brazil. Our client is a waste-to-energy and recycling company based in São Paulo. The facility focuses on processing municipal solid waste (MSW) and light industrial residues into reusable raw materials and refuse-derived fuel (RDF) for biomass energy production.

Waste Shredder in Brazil

OVERVIEW

This is a project about waste shredder in Brazil. Brazil, as one of the largest emerging economies in South America, has been grappling with rapid urbanization and increasing volumes of municipal and industrial waste. Managing these wastes efficiently is crucial not only for environmental sustainability but also for developing profitable recycling and energy recovery industries.

Our client is a waste-to-energy and recycling company based in São Paulo. The facility focuses on processing municipal solid waste (MSW) and light industrial residues into reusable raw materials and refuse-derived fuel (RDF) for biomass energy production. Previously, the company used outdated shredders that frequently jammed when processing mixed materials, leading to downtime and lower productivity. To improve efficiency and enhance waste preprocessing capacity, the client decided to purchase a single waste shredder machine rather than a complete line. This was a strategic investment to replace an older, underperforming shredder and to enhance their pre-processing capabilities.

Selection of Raw Materials and Equipment

In Brazil, the facility handles a variety of irregular solid waste materials, including:

Considering these materials and the operational requirements, the RICHI SSJ1200 waste shredder machine was selected for this project:

This model is designed for robust preliminary shredding of irregularly shaped waste, providing an optimal balance between throughput, durability, and energy efficiency. The selected SSJ1200 can process around 8–10 tons of waste per hour, meeting the client’s daily operational demands.

Functional Role of the Waste Shredder

The waste shredder in Brazil is primarily used for preliminary size reduction. This step is critical for downstream processes, including material separation, recycling, and fuel production. Specific functions include:

  1. Material homogenization: Breaking large, irregular pieces into smaller, manageable sizes of about 3 cm improves sorting efficiency.
  2. Preparation for RDF production: Smaller, uniform fragments are ideal for compaction into refuse-derived fuel, which is used in local biomass power plants.
  3. Volume reduction: Decreasing bulk reduces transportation costs and optimizes storage and handling.
  4. Improved operational efficiency: Prevents blockages in conveyors and other processing equipment downstream.

The SSJ1200 shredder ensures that the Brazilian facility can handle mixed waste streams efficiently, minimizing downtime and labor intensity.

Shipping and Logistics

The RICHI waste shredder in Brazil was shipped via sea freight to the Port of Santos, one of Brazil’s largest container ports. The logistics team coordinated full export documentation, customs clearance, and pre-shipment inspections. Upon arrival, the machine was delivered to the facility by truck, and RICHI technicians provided on-site installation, calibration, and training for operational staff, ensuring the machine was fully integrated into the facility’s workflow.

Technical Advantages of the Waste Shredder

The client specifically chose the dual-shaft design of the RICHI waste shredder because of its superior technical features:

These features make the SSJ1200 waste shredder in Brazil particularly suitable for continuous high-capacity operations, reducing downtime and operational costs.

Versatility and Industry Applications

RICHI’s dual-shaft waste shredder in Brazil is a highly versatile solution for multiple waste processing applications:

This versatility allows the machine to adapt to different types of waste streams as operational needs evolve, making it a long-term investment.

Customer Feedback

“The RICHI waste shredder has significantly improved our pre-processing efficiency. Mixed waste can now be shredded consistently into uniform pieces, ready for RDF production. Installation and training by RICHI’s team were excellent, and the machine has been running reliably with minimal maintenance. Their professional support gives us confidence in the equipment for years to come.”

The client particularly appreciated the machine’s durability and RICHI’s proactive technical support.

Why the Client Chose RICHI

Several factors contributed to the decision to purchase the waste shredder in Brazil from RICHI:

This combination of high-quality engineering and professional service convinced the client to choose RICHI over other suppliers.

Services Provided by RICHI

Beyond supplying the crusher machine, RICHI provided:

These services ensured the client could integrate the shredder seamlessly into existing workflows, maximizing operational efficiency from the start.

Project Conclusion

The waste shredder in Brazil illustrates how a single high-quality unit can dramatically enhance waste processing efficiency. By replacing an outdated shredder, the client achieved higher throughput, consistent particle size for RDF production, and reduced downtime.

As Brazil continues to emphasize sustainable waste management and energy recovery, reliable and versatile equipment like the RICHI dual-shaft waste shredder will remain critical to efficient operations. This project showcases that investing in a robust single-unit solution, supported by professional services from RICHI Machinery, provides significant operational and economic benefits.

This case demonstrates that a well-designed waste shredder can meet diverse material processing needs, from municipal solid waste to industrial by-products, while offering long-term durability, cost efficiency, and professional support.
