Pelleting solutions for multiple recycling applications
ANDRITZ pelleting technologies are engineered to transform
low-density, variable, and abrasive material streams into uniform,
high-quality pellets that improve handling, storage, and downstream processing efficiency.
From woody biomass, agricultural residues such as straw, digestates, and manure, to refuse-derived fuels (RDF, SRF) and polyolefins (mixed plastics), our pelleting systems are designed to deliver consistent densification across a wide range of feedstocks. The result is stable pellet quality that supports reliable logistics, optimized storage, and efficient use in energy recovery, chemical conversion, and gasification processes.
Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF)
Refuse Derived Fuels (RDF) are fuels produced from various types of waste such as Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), industrial waste or commercial waste.
When pelleted either a high or low density pellet is produced that can be used as a substitute for fossil fuels in:
•Cement plants
•Lime kilns
•Coal fired power plants
•Steel industry furnaces
Solid Recovered Fuels (SRF)
Solid Recovered Fuels (SRF) are similar to RDF but are more refined, having a lower ash content and therefore have a higher caloric value and lower moisture levels than RDF. The SRF is more valuable than RDF but can be used for the same incineration purposes.
Solid recovered fuel has gone through additional processing to improve the quality and value. Pelleting SRF produces a clean, high density, durable pellet that has the potential to lower transportation and storage costs.
Polyolefins
Polyolefins are a family of versatile thermoplastics comprising nearly two-thirds of all post-consumer
plastic waste from packaging (plastic bags, films), food containers and household goods.
When pelleted, low-density, irregular plastic fractions are converted into uniform, free-flowing, high-density pellets that improve handling, storage, and transport efficiency.
KEY PROCESSING MACHINERY
ANDRITZ waste processing technologies are centered around highly advanced key machinery for waste shredding and pelleting, including shredders and dryers for the processing of wet waste prior to the pelleting process. By converting the products into compressed waste pellets, density can be substantially increased, which generates significant savings on transport, storage, and handling, as well as a variety of other environmental advantages.
The Paladin pellet mill series ensures high output and efficient control of the pelleting process. The Paladins 2000 & 3000W are ideal for large forces and designed with exchangeable wear parts. These robust pellet mills, with up to 250kW twin drives, provide smooth operation at low vibration levels. The belt drive and heavy-duty pellet chamber ensure reliable and safe production. The Paladin pellet mill design concept has a proven track record with more than 2,500 machines in operation globally.
