Revolutionizing India’s Aluminium Recycling Business with Advanced Shredding Technology

The Indian aluminium industry is witnessing remarkable growth, driven by the country’s burgeoning population, urbanization, and industrialization. As India strives to achieve a net-zero economy by 2050, the significance of aluminium in key sectors such as infrastructure, transportation, and renewable energy is becoming increasingly apparent. India’s aluminium recycling sector has been growing at an impressive CAGR of 9-11% from fiscal 2015 to 2023, with projections indicating a continued growth rate of 7.2% until 2030.

The Importance of Aluminium Recycling

Aluminium is a highly versatile and sustainable material, renowned for its corrosion-resistance, lightweight, and excellent heat and electricity conduction properties. Its ability to be recycled infinitely without compromising its quality has earned it a prominent place among the world’s most recycled materials. With nearly 75% of the 1.5 billion tonnes of aluminium ever produced still in use today and over 30 million tonnes of aluminium scrap being recycled annually, the benefits of recycling are clear.

Challenges in Aluminium Recycling

The aluminium recycling process faces several challenges that can impact the quality and efficiency of the recycled material, including contamination, material separation, density optimization, efficient processing, and handling diverse scrap materials. Therefore, advance Aluminium shredding technology plays a crucial part in the recycling process.

The Role of Fornnax Aluminium Recycling Plant for Maximum Output and Quality

The Fornnax Aluminium recycling plant is designed to produce clean, contamination-free fractions that increase aluminium density. The plant includes a broad range of customized shredders and granulators with magnetic separation and eddy-current separation systems, which are more efficient, rigid, and consistent. The Fornnax aluminium recycling plant generates up to 98% pure aluminium granules free from steel and plastic fractions for further applications.

The Aluminium Recycling Process:

The aluminium recycling process involves three main stages:

1. Primary Shredding: Bulky aluminium profiles and sheets are fed into the Fornnax SR-Series primary shredder, reducing the aluminium scrap to variable-size shreds.
2. Secondary Shredding: The primary aluminium shred is fed into the Fornnax R-Series secondary shredder, producing aluminium chips of size 30-50mm.
3. Granulation: The aluminium chip is then conveyed to the Fornnax TR-Series granulator for further downsizing, producing 6–12mm aluminium granules that are high-density and up to 98% free from foreign contamination.

As India’s aluminium demand continues to rise, driven by increasing per capita consumption expected to grow till 2030, the scrap aluminium recycling industry presents a lucrative opportunity. With the government supporting sustainable practices and renewable energy initiatives, the aluminium recycling sector is poised for significant growth. Fornnax, with over a decade of expertise and a strong global footprint, is one of the leading providers of aluminium recycling plants. By leveraging advanced aluminium shredding technology with international grade quality and efficient processing systems, Fornnax enables businesses to maximize output, reduce waste, and unlock substantial economic and environmental benefits of aluminium recycling in India with high-quality output and innovative solutions.
