Alternative fuels
Bulk material handling for alternative and secondary fuels – engineered for material characteristics, required capacity and the thermal process
Systems for the complete fuel flow
Coordinated machines and plants – from material reception through to controlled feeding into the thermal process
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.
Reliable handling of alternative fuels
Alternative fuels such as RDF, SRF, fluff, sewage sludge, animal meal and biomass often have varying material characteristics. Differences in composition, particle size, bulk density and moisture content can affect material flow, discharge behaviour and dosing accuracy. Dust generation and potential fire and explosion hazards also place specific demands on plant design and operation.
Our machines and plants are engineered according to the characteristics of the fuel, the required conveying and dosing capacities, and the requirements of the thermal process. Depending on the application, the solution may cover individual process stages or the complete material flow from reception and storage through to controlled feeding.
