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