Refuse-Derived Fuels Production Plant
Planning and Construction of Waste-Derived Fuel Processing Plants
To reduce the energy-intensive costs of cement production, many cement manufacturers have begun using waste-derived fuel (RDF), significantly lowering their dependence on expensive conventional fuels. The use of solid fuels, such as waste tires, wood chips, and mixtures of plastics, paper, composites, and textiles, is increasing. Xrido provides cement plants with reliable and durable material handling and de-ironing/impurity removal equipment, as well as crushers of various sizes, ensuring the production of different grades of waste-derived fuel.

Biomass/RDF/SRF/TDF Briquette System:
We are a professional briquetting and pelleting production line manufacturer, We provide turnkey and custom solution services.
Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF/RDF) is a high-calorific, low-pollution solid fuel produced by processing municipal waste, industrial solid waste, and biomass waste (such as wooden pallets, scrap plastic, and waste textiles) to recover its energy value. It can replace fossil fuels like coal and natural gas in applications such as cement kilns, power plants, and industrial boilers.
I. Pre-treatment and Sorting:
Raw materials (such as mixed municipal waste, scrap wood pallets, and waste plastic) are fed into the pre-treatment line via a conveyor belt. The first step is magnetic separation (removing metal objects like nails and cans, with a recovery rate >95%). Next, a wind sifter separates light materials (like film and paper) from heavy materials (like stones and glass). An eddy current separator (for non-ferrous metals) and a near-infrared sorter (identifying and removing harmful plastics like PVC) are used to obtain a clean raw material primarily composed of high-calorific components (such as plastics, rubber, wood fibers, and paper) with impurity content <3%.
II. Pre Shredding and Fine Shredding:
The pre-treated material is then fed into a twin-shaft shredder or hammer mill. The particle size is adjusted according to the intended use—SRF is typically ground to 8-15mm (suitable for large furnaces like cement kilns), while RDF can be finer (5-10mm for fluidized bed boilers). The crushing equipment must have anti-clogging and wear-resistant designs (such as alloy blades) to ensure continuous and stable operation; uniform particle size directly affects combustion stability.
III. Forming/Blending:
For long-distance transport or specific applications (like fixed bed boilers), the dried, crushed material can be pressed into fuel briquettes using a ring die press or granulated using a screw extruder. For direct use in fluidized bed boilers, the crushed material can bypass the forming stage; the component ratios (e.g., plastic to fiber) are adjusted using a mixer before packaging.
