India-based Fornnax Technology has released its SR-MAX2500 shredder, designed to process municipal solid waste (MSW).
The company launched the shredder Oct. 16 at IFAT India 2024 in Mumbai, India.
“With the SR-MAX2500, we’re poised to transform the waste management landscape in India and beyond,” Fornnax Director and CEO Jignesh Kundaria says. “Our goal is to line up municipal waste recycling industries with a robust, efficient and sustainable solution. Our commitment to sustainability and enhancing [the] recycling process is a step forward towards achieving PM's vision of a Net Zero emissions future by 2050.”
The SR-MAX2500 employs elements from Fornnax’ other SR-Series machines and includes hydraulic motors, a unique cutter design and a replaceable cutting table.

Fornnax says the SR-MAX2500 is intended to serve large-scale municipal waste recyclers, cement plants, waste-to-energy plants, mechanical biological treatment facilities, material recovery facilities (MRFs), construction and demolition recyclers and aluminum recyclers.
The company says the SR-MAX2500 was specifically designed for the Indian waste market and offers commercial benefits, including increased efficiency, reduced operational costs and enhanced productivity.
According to Fornnax, India generates approximately 62 million tons of waste per year, placing it within the top 10 countries generating MSW. The company says it is critical to prioritize recycling and conversion of MSW into refuse derived fuel (RDF).
Over the next year, Fornnax’ focus areas include expanding its manufacturing capacity to meet rising demand. The company recently acquired 23 acres of land in Ahmedabad, India, which is expected to become operational by March 2025. The site will primarily produce machinery applicable in metal processing and tire, cable and electronic scrap recycling.
