RDF Briquette Machine with Pre-Feeder

The RDF Briquette Machine with Pre-Feeder, manufactured by Mechwaste Private Limited, is an integrated system designed for efficient densification of Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) into high-density, uniform briquettes. The system ensures continuous, controlled feeding and stable compaction, resulting in consistent briquette quality and reliable long-term operation.

This combination is ideal for municipal solid waste processing plants, waste-to-energy projects, and cement plants, where uninterrupted operation and uniform fuel quality are critical.

System Overview

The system consists of:

  • Pre-Feeder Unit for regulated material flow
  • RDF Briquette Machine for high-pressure densification

The pre-feeder eliminates material surges and choking, while the briquette machine converts processed RDF into compact briquettes suitable for storage, transport, and combustion.


Process Flow

  1. Segregated, shredded, and dried RDF material is fed into the pre-feeder
  2. Pre-feeder delivers material at a controlled and adjustable rate
  3. RDF briquette machine applies high compaction pressure
  4. Uniform, high-density briquettes are discharged continuously
