Indian recycling machinery manufacturer Fornnax Technology Pvt Ltd has introduced the R-MAX3300, its largest secondary shredder to date. The launch marks a strategic step in expanding the company’s product line to meet the evolving demands of India’s waste management and recycling sectors, particularly in tyre recycling and municipal solid waste (MSW) processing
The R-MAX3300 was unveiled at IFAT India 2025 in Mumbai, one of the country’s leading environmental technology exhibitions. Designed for large-scale applications, the shredder targets cement alternative fuel (AFR) plants and waste-to-energy (WtE) facilities, while its adaptable configuration also supports end-of-life tyre recycling.
Versatility and Performance
Based on Fornnax’s R-Series platform, the R-MAX3300 is engineered for high-volume shredding of diverse waste streams including MSW, commercial and industrial waste, bulky waste, legacy waste, wood, and construction and demolition debris. The shredder’s robust design allows it to process challenging materials while maintaining consistent output.
Fornnax’s Director and CEO, Jignesh Kundaria, said the model addresses growing demand for efficient, large-scale waste shredding technology. “We developed the R-MAX3300 to handle difficult waste streams efficiently, converting what was once unusable material into a resource that supports cement kilns and WtE facilities,” he said.
The machine enables the production of Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) and Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) within a 30–50 mm particle range and supports pre-treatment for composting and volume reduction for transport efficiency. Its design prioritises versatility, durability, and operational consistency, aligning with the needs of industrial users seeking scalable waste processing solutions.
Adaptability for Tyre Recycling
A key advancement of the R-MAX3300 lies in its adaptability for tyre recycling. With a change in screen configuration, the shredder can process tyres into chips of less than 50 mm, suitable for producing Tyre-Derived Fuel (TDF) used in cement kilns. In this configuration, it delivers a throughput of approximately 15–20 tonnes per hour, or up to 30–40 tonnes per hour for single-pass oversized shredding for transport or export.
While not intended for both primary and secondary shredding where steel liberation is required, the R-MAX3300 can operate as a standalone machine for applications where steel separation is unnecessary. This makes it suitable for facilities seeking to reduce capital investment by using one system for both pre-shredding and secondary shredding tasks.
In tyre recycling operations, the shredder can complement Fornnax’s existing SR-Series pre-shredders and R-Series secondary shredders, providing flexibility across various processing stages. Its use extends to scenarios where regulations require shredded tyres for export or where general volume reduction is sufficient.
Field Validation and Market Positioning
Fornnax plans to install the R-MAX3300 for field validation at one of India’s largest cement plants for a trial period of four to six months. The company anticipates commercial availability following
