Fornnax Technology Expands in Eastern Europe

Fornnax Technology continues expanding its global footprint, recently finalising recycling machinery installations in Eastern Europe

The Ahmedabad based recycling machinery producer has now supplied a range of primary shredders to the three Eastern European countries of Serbia, Poland and Bulgaria. The Indian company has been making efforts to penetrate these markets from quite some time.

Explaining the significance of entering these markets, Jignesh Kundaria, Manging Director, Fornnax Technology Pvt Ltd revealed during an interaction at the TRRAI Conclave 2024 recently, “Eastern European companies installing our recycling lines are mostly using European lines, but now in a major breakthrough for us the installation of our machinery in these markets indicates our recycling lines started to gain traction in these hi-end markets.” Fornnax Technology participated and exhibited at the recently concluded a day-long conclave on 24th August at Jaipur (Rajasthan) organized by Tyre & Rubber Recyclers Association of India (TRRAI)

Fornnax Technology supplied a primary shredder SR-150 with trommel screen, to Steel Impex Serbia for tyre derived fuel (TDF). The line became functional in July 2024.

The Dual-Shaft SR-150 Shredder has applications in recycling of passenger and truck tyre waste utilised for size reduction with output sizes varying from 50 mm to 60 mm.

Tyre shred is regarded as good alternative fuel in cement kilns. Using TDF in cement kilns reduces emissions of nitrogen oxides NOx and costs since less urea is required. In addition, emissions of particulate matter are lower.

The Indian machinery producer despatched a custom designed primary shredder SR-200 to a Bulgarian recycler in the end of July 2024. The line carries out the primary shredding of mining tyres which produce strips of sizes varying from 60 mm to 80 mm. The downsized shreds go to next line for further processing.

“Installing line in the Bulgarian site is going to be a major breakthrough for us as the company had been using European lines prior to ordering the SR-200 primary shredder from Fornnax.” The line despatched last month is scheduled to be functional by September.

In yet another major breakthrough in Eastern Europe, Fornnax Technology despatched its flagship high-capacity primary shredder SR200-HD to a Polish recycling site.  The line is being applied to recycling passenger, truck  and agriculture tyres, having single pass capacity of 25 tons per hour and second pass capacity of 14 tons per hour.

The SR-200 HD has already been dispatched and expected to be installed and functional by the end of September.
