Alternative fuels
Bulk material handling technology for substitute and secondary fuels – process-reliable, adaptable and designed for heterogeneous materials

Efficient solutions for fuel processing
Alternative fuels such as fluff, sewage sludge, meat and bone meal or biomass are gaining increasing importance in cement works, energy plants and recycling facilities. Their handling requires reliable, precise technology and secure process integration. Fluctuating bulk material properties, fire and explosion risks, dust content and moisture impose high demands on design and operation.
DI MATTEO develops modular bulk material handling technology for material reception, processing, storage, conveying, dosing and controlled process feeding of substitute and secondary fuels. Our systems are designed for economical operation, ease of maintenance and precise alignment with bulk material characteristics and process requirements.
Technology for the safe use of alternative fuels
Whether integrated into existing plants or implemented as part of new thermal or material recovery lines, our solutions are adapted to your specific operating conditions. They perform duties such as kiln feeding or controlled dosing into combustion systems and power plants.

ATEX compliant
For applications in hazardous areas, our equipment is available in compliance with ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU, ensuring safe and reliable operation in explosion-risk environments.
Temperature resistance
Our machines are engineered to match your specific requirements and operating environments, covering a wide range of operating temperatures – from extremely low to very high temperature conditions.












Shredding
With high-performance shredding technology, agglomerated, compacted or compressed bulk materials are reliably conditioned. The result: uniform material flow, precise dosing and stable processes. Robust systems designed for flexible integration and economical operation with low maintenance requirements.
Tailored bulk material handling technology for alternative fuels
Our installations cover the entire process chain – from material reception and storage through to accurate dosing and controlled feeding into thermal processes. Poor-flowing, moist or inhomogeneous materials are handled reliably and with low emissions.
Whether RDF, SRF, fluff, sewage sludge, meat and bone meal or industrial production residues, our systems are compact, maintenance-friendly and designed to meet stringent safety requirements.
Typical applications in alternative fuel processing include:
Material reception, storage and conveying of RDF, SRF, fluff, meat and bone meal, biomass or sewage sludge
Controlled feeding into rotary kilns, combustion systems or combined heat and power plants
Reliable discharge from bunkers, silos or containers
Size reduction, separation or drying as upstream processing stages
Integration into cement works, SRF processing facilities or energy plants
Our technology combines robust construction with application-specific design – ensuring safe processes, low emissions and economical continuous operation.
