Directions for drying RDFs

Refuse-derived fuel (RDF) is produced with municipal solid waste that has been processed to remove non-combustible materials. Belt dryers are commonly used in the RDF production process to dry the waste material before it is converted into fuel.

Some of the advantages of low-temperature belt dryers for drying RDF are:

• Energy efficiency: Low-temperature belt dryers use significantly less energy compared to high-temperature dryers. This means that low-temperature dryers are more energy-efficient and can help reduce operating costs.
• Reduced emissions: Low-temperature belt dryers produce less emissions than high-temperature dryers, making them more environmentally friendly. This is because the low-temperature drying process produces less moisture and requires less fuel to operate, resulting in lower emissions.
• High quality product: Low-temperature belt dryers help maintain the quality of the RDF product by preventing it from overheating and breaking down. This results in a more consistent and high-quality product.
• Improved safety: Low-temperature belt dryers are safer to operate than high-temperature dryers, as there is less risk of fire and explosion. This is because the lower temperatures used in the drying process reduce the risk of ignition and combustion.
• Versatility: Low-temperature belt dryers can be used for a wide range of materials, including RDF, due to their gentle drying process. This means that the same equipment can be used for multiple applications, reducing the need for additional equipment and thus saving money.
