In a RDF plant, the steps are usually pre-shredding, screening/separation and post-shredding. The process is designed to customer requirements. The composition of the input material and the sales opportunities of the final products are key factors.
Pre-shredding brings the input material to a uniform size, which in some cases is already the right size for fuel, and eliminates overlengths, which would interfere with further processes.
Separation removes contraries and recyclable materials from the fuel fraction.
Fine shredding brings the fuel fraction, now free of contraries, to the right particle Size. Optional post-
screening makes sure that the particles do not exceed the maximum size for fuel use.
Pre-shredding with low speed
The process starts with a Terminator single-shaft shredder, whose shredding performance is configured for the input material. The contrary resistance of the shredder lets it accept a wide range of input materials, while the even intake ensures a consistent supply of shredded material to the downstream process steps.
Rem oval of fines
If there is substantial organic content in the input material, it will need to be removed before further processing. The machine used for this is either a stationary Komptech drum screen or Flowerdisc disc screen.
