Rotary Drum Screen and Horizontal Baler Shipped to Mexico

Xrido Machine Equipment Shipped to Mexico: Drum Screen and Horizontal Baler Boost SRF Plant Efficiency

As circular economy policies accelerate in Latin America, a newly built SRF (Solid Recycled Fuel) plant near Mexico City has reached a key equipment delivery milestone. Xrido Machine's heavy-duty drum screen and fully automated horizontal baler, customized specifically for the Spanish-speaking market, have passed factory acceptance and are officially packed and shipped to the Port of Monterrey, Mexico. These two pieces of equipment will work in close conjunction with the previously delivered municipal solid waste sorting system to create a complete conversion chain from mixed waste to high-calorific-value fuel blocks, marking a new stage in the technological adaptability of Chinese solid waste treatment equipment in the Americas market.

Dual Technological Challenges for Latin American Conditions
The high proportion of organic matter and large amount of plastic film in Mexican municipal solid waste pose challenges to sorting accuracy and downstream molding. The Xrido technical team implemented two key upgrades:

• Rotary drum screen: Featuring a 15° inclination angle and a quincunx-shaped screen aperture structure, it effectively separates inert impurities with a particle size of 20-150mm, achieving a screening efficiency of over 90%. The surface is treated with a polyurea anti-corrosion coating, making it resistant to the high humidity and corrosion of tropical climates.

• Horizontal baler: Equipped with a dual-pump confluence hydraulic system and an intelligent weighing module, this machine boasts a nominal thrust of 200 tons and a bale density of up to 450kg/m³. The feeding speed and compression ratio have been specifically optimized to suit the characteristics of the sorted SRF raw materials.

“This combined approach solved our most troublesome problems with impurity interference and fuel molding,” a representative of the project owner stated at the acceptance site. “After commissioning, the daily output of SRF is expected to increase from 80 tons to 150 tons, with the fuel calorific value stabilizing at 10–12 MJ/kg.”

Full-process service embedded in the Latin American market

At the Xrido production base, after 72 hours of online load testing, the two machines were packaged in modular, separate units, significantly reducing sea freight volume and customs clearance difficulties. The shipment also included:

• Spanish/English bilingual operation and maintenance manuals

• Pre-installed remote IoT monitoring system

• Localized spare parts list and emergency kit

The head of Xrido's Latin America region emphasized, “We have a service center in Mexico. Engineers will arrive on-site within 7 days of the equipment's arrival to guide installation and commissioning, ensuring full line operation within 45 days.”

As a leading global supplier of solid waste treatment equipment, Xrido Machine has delivered more than 30 treatment lines in Latin America. As this batch of equipment sails to the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Chinese manufacturing is deeply involved in the green energy transformation of the Americas—giving every gram of undervalued urban waste a new value.
