What we offer
Get started with alternate fuels

The PFISTER® AF Starter Kit is a flexible, fast-to-install solution designed to support the testing of alternative fuels in multifuel applications. It works in combination with the customer’s existing storage systems and is suitable for use with front-end loaders or cranes. Fuel is extracted from the reception hopper via a screw bottom mechanism, enabling efficient and controlled handling.

The system offers several configurable options, including capacity, ATEX compliance, reception cover, hopper volume, filter, blower, piping, magnetic separator, screen, and control. This makes it an ideal choice for plants seeking a straightforward way to trial alternative fuel


Starter Kit solution with receiving hopper and gravimetric dosing includes:

  • Drag chain conveyor
  • Receiving hopper
  • TRW-S/D Rotor Weighfeeder
  • Rotary valve / Line charger

Optimise AF use by selecting the right fuel for the firing point.

Typical alternative fuels like Refuse Derived Fuels (RDF), fluff, plastic and paper waste, household waste, packaging and industrial waste and textiles are used in many different conditions, densities, moisture and grain sizes. In particular, biomass (e.g. wood chips, saw dust, nuts husk, olive pomace, rice husk, sewage sludge, animal meal) are increasingly used as carbon neutral fuels to support the reduction of CO2 emissions.

These fuels are hugely variable: dry, moist, chipped, chunky. But they can all be handled by the PFISTER® TRW-S/D multifuel rotor weighfeeder – not different feeders for different fuels, but just one system to manage nearly all solid alternative fuels without mechanical adaptions. It’s designed for real life applications where alternative fuel sources are likely to be varied and feed quality inconsistent. All this provides the highest flexibility to optimise your sustainability efforts.
