What kind of work do you do?
RMP provides the project design works conducting, equipment supply its assembly and adjustment, personnel training, warranty and post-warranty equipment servicing.
2
Do you provide service and spare parts sales?
We provide our customers with the provision of services and the sale of spare parts. Prompt delivery of spare and wear parts is usually carried out to the customer's door from a warehouse in Riga or, if necessary, from the manufacturer's warehouse.
3
How long does it take for the purchase of a briquetting press to pay for itself?
Amortisation periods can be less than three years, in certain cases even less than 1 year. However, the amortisation period depends on the material to be made into briquettes and the quantity. Thanks to the reduction in volume, costs for transport, storage and handling are cut. The amortisation period can be further reduced through the sale of the briquettes and the recovery of coolants.
4
Can we be present at the pressing test?
At your request, you can be present at the test pressing in Technical Centre and you can get advice from our experts. Furthermore, you will receive a detailed pressing report and will be given the briquettes made during the test pressing.
5
Can I attend a test pressing?
Trial pressing is carried out free of charge and without any obligation on your part in our Technical Center using your own material. If you wish, you can attend the test press.
6
What are the advantages of sawdust/shavings/dust briquetting?
There are several advantages: reduction in the volume of production waste, savings on waste disposal, savings on fines from environmentalists for the removal of sawdust / wood chips / dust, the ability to sell briquettes to the domestic market / export.
7
What equipment, in addition to the press, should be purchased?
To prepare the briquetting zone, it is necessary to consider how to transport raw materials from the point of waste generation to the briquetting press. To do this, you will need screws, an operational batcher and possibly additional equipment: this is determined after visiting and inspecting the zone.
8
What is the payback period?
Many factors are taken into account here: the volume of waste in production, its humidity. It will depend on this whether a line for preparing wet raw materials is needed or whether a briquetting zone is needed from dry. Approximate terms - from 0,5 year to 5 years.
9
How do I find the right briquetting machine?
We have many years of experience in briquetting which means that our experts are well-qualified to provide you with professional advice in choosing the right briquette press. We work with you to identify your individual requirements on the basis of the material in question and the production conditions. This then allows us to offer you custom-made briquetting machines or even complete briquetting solutions.
10
Do we need to crush/shred the chips before briquetting?
In the case of long, woolly chips, it may be necessary to crush the starting material beforehand. In this case, we can offer complete solutions together with the relevant suppliers. With our free pressing test, we can establish whether your starting material can be briquetted or whether it needs to be crushed beforehand.
11
What is the best way to pack briquettes?
Several solutions are suitable for packaging: the standard use of plastic bags with a thermal knife seal. But with this type of packaging, the briquettes crumble during transportation. To reduce flaking, a heat-resistant film is used. In it, the briquette, due to the tight arrangement to each other, does not crumble.We offer solutions from Strojplast.
12
Which is better: briquettes or pellets?
It all depends on where you plan to use biofuels. If for stoves, fireplaces, baths and barbecues - definitely briquettes of the RUF type. If for industrial furnaces, then pellets, but modern technologies also allow the use of briquettes for these purposes, because. they have a lower cost, and accordingly the price.
13
Do you provide service and spare parts sales?
Yes, we have a technical department that provides these services.
14
What type of chipping is preferred?
It all depends on the material at the input and on the requirements of the fraction at the output. There are drum grinders, hammer crushers, chippers, shredders, etc.
15
Can it be installed outdoors? Yes, some equipment can be installed outdoors, but it is better to provide a canopy from direct precipitation
Yes, some equipment can be installed outdoors, but it is better to provide a canopy from direct precipitation
16
What is the maximum diameter of the barrel chopping?
About 500mm
17
Is there a universal shredder for logs, slabs, etc.?
No, there is no universal grinder.
18
Is pallet shredding possible?
Yes, this technology exists.
19
Is there a complete grinding solution?
Yes, some of our suppliers offer a complete solution, the cost depends on the technical task or on the required performance
20
Can you supply a turnkey plant?
Yes, we can design and deliver a turnkey plant, from any fraction and moisture content of raw materials.
21
How long is the service life of a machine?
RUF briquette presses are very robust and are known for having a low level of wear and tear. Some of our systems have been in use for more than 25 years.
22
What other metal waste, besides metal shavings and grinding sludge, can the RUF press briquet?
For example, aluminum foil, aluminum cans, aluminum caps from medicine containers, spent cartridges, titanium sponge, shredded copper wire. Send us information about your waste and we will definitely answer you on the possibility of briquetting, in case of doubt, we will offer to conduct a test briquetting.
23
Is there an “all-rounder” press for all possible materials?
We always try to find the best possible briquetting solution. Our range has therefore been specifically developed for certain materials, production conditions or marketing purposes of the briquettes. Our experts will be happy to advise you with respect to processing several different materials with one briquetting machine.
24
Do we need to crush/shred the chips before briquetting?
In the case of long, woolly chips, it may be necessary to crush the starting material beforehand. In this case, we can offer complete solutions together with the relevant suppliers. With our free pressing test, we can establish whether your starting material can be briquetted or whether it needs to be crushed beforehand.
25
Why carry out test briquetting?
By testing, our specialists determine the ability of chips to briquetting, which press model is best suited for a particular material, whether there is a need for options. In the process of testing, parameters such as the density of the briquette, the strength of the briquette (friability test), the amount of coolant squeezed out are determined.
26
How is a test pressing done? Is it done free of charge?
Test pressing is done free of charge and without any obligation on your part, and is carried out in Technical Centre using your own material. At your request, you can be present at the test pressing. The results are important for the choice of the briquetting machine – for example, briquette thickness, residual moisture, durability to withstand handling, the amount of cooling lubricants recovered, etc.
27
Where to buy spare parts and consumables for the RUF press?
Our warehouse in Riga always has the main spare parts for RUF presses. Some positions, according to your application, we order the manufacturer and arrange delivery to our warehouse. The manufacturer maintains an extensive stock of spare parts for almost all RUF presses produced to date.
28
Why grind metal chips?
In the process of grinding, the volume of chips is reduced several times, which reduces the cost of production facilities, storage, and transportation. The grinding procedure will prepare the long, loach-like chips for briquetting.
29
Which chipper model is suitable for my chips?
The model of the grinder is selected depending on the material, volume, mode of operation.
30
How to load shavings into the shredder hopper?
Grab, loader, special hoist for chip carts.
