In the ever-evolving landscape of waste management, innovative solutions are crucial for sustainable growth. Steel Impex Ltd., a Serbian market leader in waste recycling, has been at the forefront of this transformation since 2008. Through constant innovation and quality improvement, the company has developed into a state-of-the-art recycling center for collecting, storing, and treating non-hazardous waste. Recently, Steel Impex Ltd. partnered with Fornnax, a leading recycling equipment provider, to integrate the SR-150 primary shredder with trommel screen for tyre-derived fuel (TDF) production.
The tyre shredding business has immense potential for growth, and Steel Impex Ltd.’s collaboration with Fornnax exemplifies this. The Fornnax SR150 Tyre shredder, is specifically designed for recycling passenger and truck tyre. Its robust design and high-performance capabilities enable efficient size reduction and producing output sizes ranging from 50 mm to 60 mm. This partnership has enabled Steel Impex Ltd. to capitalize on the lucrative Tyre shredding business to produce high quality tire-derived fuel (TDF) for supply to cement plants.
As well all know that the cement manufacturing is an energy and carbon-intensive process and also a noteworthy contributor of CO2 emissions. About 0.9 tonne of CO2 is released for every tonne of cement is produced. Fossil-based fuels like coal are primarily used for thermal energy generation, exacerbating environmental concerns. Therefore, the benefits of using TDF in cement kilns are numerous. Not only it is the best alternative fuel source, but it also helps cement plants to reduce their carbon footprint and reliance on non-renewable energy sources. Through its partnership with Fornnax Technology, Steel Impex Ltd. is poised to become a leading supplier of reliable, eco-friendly fuel to cement plants.
The successful integration of the SR-150 Primary Shredder, which became operational in July 2024, demonstrates the potential of tyre shredding business to produce tire-derived fuel production. This partnership serves as a model for other companies seeking to capitalize on the opportunities in TDF production. As the world moves towards a more sustainable future, collaborations like Steel Impex Ltd. and Fornnax Technology will play a vital role in transforming waste into valuable resources.
As the demand for TDF continues to rise, Steel Impex Ltd.’s partnership with Fornnax will remain at the forefront of this transformation.
