About Facilities
RPF Production Facility
Features
Objects sorted at the sorting facility are all crushed by a crusher to a size of 35 mm or less, sent to a volumetric feeder, and fed to a volume reduction solidification machine that utilizes frictional heat generated as a result of the rotation of the machine and manufactures refuse paper and plastic fuel (RPF). Manufactured RPF is air cooled for a certain period in a cooler and stored in a yard provided with fire protection equipment. Finished RPF is used for a variety of heating materials, reducing agents, and boiler fuel to substitute fossil fuel.
