Introduction
KAHL plants are utilized for converting municipal and industrial waste into alternative fuels in the form of fluff and pellets. This process is part of the broader effort to manage waste sustainably and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

Background
Following the implementation of TASI in Germany, the disposal of untreated waste was prohibited, leading to the development of recovery plants that separate recoverable materials from waste. Producing defined fuels from waste materials is both ecologically and economically beneficial.

Alternative Fuels Production
Alternative fuels are produced from municipal waste, commercial refuse, and mixed plastics. These fuels have a caloric value of approximately 17,500 KJ/kg and are used in various industries, including steel, power stations, methanol production, and cement.

Process Overview
The production process involves several stages: intake, conditioning, size reduction, sifting, screening, and separation of non-combustible materials. The waste is processed into fluff or pellets, depending on the requirements.

Plant Types
KAHL plants are categorized into three types: Fluff plants, Pelleting plants, and combined Fluff and Pelleting plants. Each plant type includes stages such as supply, proportioning, production, drying, mixing, cooling, and discharge.

Applications and Benefits
KAHL machines are versatile, processing various waste types, including municipal waste, mixed plastics, and by-products from mechanical waste treatment. The resulting fluff and pellets serve as alternative fuels, reducing the need for oil and coal dust.

Additional Services
KAHL offers consultation, engineering, installation, and after-sales service. Their plants also have applications in recycling industries for processing waste tyres, wood, sewage sludge, and agricultural biomass.
