Client Profile and Investment Background
The client is a regional industrial waste recycling and resource recovery company located in southern Poland. Poland has one of the largest textile manufacturing sectors in Central Europe, as well as a strong automotive manufacturing industry. These industries generate large volumes of non-hazardous industrial solid waste, including textile scraps, automotive interior materials, and wood residues.
Prior to this project, most of these waste materials were either landfilled or incinerated inefficiently. With rising fossil fuel costs and increasing environmental regulations driven by the European Union’s carbon neutrality targets, industrial energy consumers in Poland began actively seeking alternative fuels such as RDF pellets.
The client decided to invest in a 6 t/h RDF pellet machine line in Poland with the following objectives:
- Convert industrial waste into valuable energy products
- Supply RDF pellets to local heating plants and cement factories
- Reduce waste disposal costs
- Generate stable long-term revenue
- Support Poland’s transition toward renewable and alternative energy
RICHI Machinery was selected as the equipment supplier due to our extensive experience in RDF pellet production technology and turnkey engineering services.

Product Description and Production Capacity
The RDF pellet machine line in Poland produces standardized RDF fuel pellets meeting European industrial fuel requirements.
Product Capacity Table
| Product Name | Production Capacity | Unit | Annual Operating Time | Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RDF fuel pellets | 30,000 | tons/year | 4,800 hours | CHP plants, heating plants |
These pellets have stable combustion performance and calorific value comparable to low-grade coal, making them an economically attractive alternative fuel.

Raw Materials and Consumption
One of the key strengths of this RDF pellet machine line in Poland is the availability of diverse and abundant raw materials from nearby industrial facilities. The client established long-term partnerships with textile factories, automotive manufacturers, and furniture producers.
The addition of sludge as a binder plays a critical role in improving pellet density and forming stability. Sludge also contributes additional calorific value, typically around 1700 kcal/kg.
Raw Materials and Consumption Table
| Raw Material | Annual Consumption | Unit | Composition | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Waste textiles | 12,000 | tons/year | Cotton, polyester fabrics | Textile factories |
| Garment cutting scraps | 7,500 | tons/year | Mixed fabrics and leather | Clothing manufacturers |
| Automotive interior waste | 3,000 | tons/year | ABS, PE plastic components | Automotive factories |
| Wood waste | 1,500 | tons/year | Wood scraps, paper residues | Furniture factories |
| Industrial sludge | 6,000 | tons/year | Organic sludge | Wastewater treatment plants |
Sludge accounts for approximately 20% of the total raw material input, ensuring proper pellet formation and improving combustion performance.
Total raw material consumption: 30,000 tons/year.
Moisture content of mixed raw materials remains below 10%, eliminating the need for drying equipment and significantly reducing energy consumption.

Energy Consumption
The RDF pellet machine line in Poland operates with relatively low utility consumption due to optimized process design.
Energy Consumption Table
| Energy Type | Annual Consumption |
|---|---|
| Electricity | 1.76 million kWh/year |
| Water | 150 m³/year |
Electricity is used primarily for shredders, pellet mills, conveyors, and environmental protection equipment.
Water is used only for domestic purposes.

Production Process Description
The RDF pellet machine line in Poland uses a mechanical compression pelletizing process without thermal drying.
Detailed Process Flow List
Step 1: Raw Material Receiving and Inspection
Industrial solid waste materials are transported to the plant in ton bags or bulk form.
Activities include:
- Weight measurement
- Visual inspection
- Removal of unsuitable materials
This ensures safe and consistent production.
Step 2: Primary Shredding
Raw materials enter the HYS1660-60 industrial shredder.
Function:
- Reduce material size from 15 cm to below 5 cm
- Improve handling efficiency
Dust generated is captured by cyclone and bag filter systems.
Step 3: Magnetic Separation
Material passes through a magnetic separator to remove metal contaminants such as nails and metal fragments.
This protects downstream equipment.
Step 4: Secondary Shredding
Material undergoes further size reduction to below 2 cm.
Benefits:
- Improves pellet quality
- Ensures uniform material feed
Step 5: Mixing with Sludge Binder
Industrial sludge is added in controlled proportion.
Functions:
- Improve pellet binding strength
- Increase density
- Improve calorific value
Step 6: Pelletizing Process
Material enters MZLH520 RDF pellet machines.
Inside the pellet mill:
- Mechanical compression forms dense pellets
- Temperature rises to approximately 60°C
- Moisture evaporates naturally
Final pellets are discharged automatically.
Step 7: Cooling, Packaging, and Storage
Finished RDF pellets are cooled and packaged for storage and transport.
