'ELV recycling is the
new trend which
will catch up'
Tell us about your recent product
innovations
Fewof our latest products have generat-
ed huge demand and would continue to
do so in the coming 3-5 years.
The first being the Car Baler. We have
designed and successfully installed
India’s first state-of-the-art car baler for
the End-of-Life-Vehicle (ELV) scrap-
ping facility in Noida by Maruti. Set up
as a result of JV between Maruti Suzuki
India and Toyota Tsusho Group, MSTI
was inaugurated by Nitin Gadkari,
Hon’ble Minister of Road Transport
and Highways. The car baler can bale
up to 15 cars per hour. The USP of the
machine is that it can process complete
cars into compact bales that are suitable
for smelting in all kinds of furnaces.
The second is our Continuous Shear.
It can process a wide variety of ferrous
and non-ferrous metal scrap - sheet
metal scrap, automobile scrap, car/ ELV
bodies, pipe, and selected HMS, etc. It
has been developed to complement box
shears (or inclined shears) to suit the
needsof scrap processors processing up
to 15 tonnes per hour.
The third machine is the automatic
paper balers. We are the pioneers in
introducing automatic balers to the
Indian paper recycling industry and
are the perfect solution for recyclers
and traders handling large quantities of
waste such as paper waste, OCC/ corru-
gated boxes, PET bottles, plastic, foam,
rubber, textile and fabric waste, packing
material, etc. These have processing
power of up to 20 tonne per hour. Since
its launch in 2016, we have installed
over 50 automatic balers and are still
counting.
The next is the casting crackers, the
perfect solution for breaking/crushing
engines, differential (gear boxes) or any
kind of castings of aluminium, brass or
CI. Castings can be cracked into pieces
in order to segregate the different met-
als, hence making transportation and
feeding of the castings into the furnace
more convenient and cost effective.
We are excited to introduce shredders
of the international standard that has
been designed using the patented tech-
nology of Newell Recycling Equipment,
USA (the world’s foremost experts in
designing and building shredders) and
manufactured in India using our ex-
pertise. We are sure that this will bring
a breakthrough in the Indian recycling
industry and eliminate all the short-
comings of the current shredders being
used in India. The USP of this shredder

talks about the current situation on policy
front, trends in the machinery & equipment
sector and new innovations.

4. The policy makers
should work
towards drafting a
comprehensive policy
that provides
end-to-end guidelines
for the recycling sector
lies in its robust, cost-effective design
and can be easily installed in medium to
big size furnaces.
What are some recent trends
in machinery and equipment
segment in the recycling industry?
First and foremost, what I have ob-
served recently is that the steel makers
are becoming more aware about the
advantages of scrap processing and
recycling.
To cater to bigger size furnaces, there
is an upward trend in the demand of
bigger, high productivity equipment to
handle more scrap in terms of quantity
as well as complexity.
Also, until now, the auxiliary equip-
ment needed to feed the scrap pro-
cessing equipment were not much in
demand but the same has increased in
order to reduce cost as well asman-
power.
The companies are strategically in-
vesting into enhancing their capacities
and we are excited about that because
the greater the recycling rates and
better yields the recyclers achieve, the
stronger will be the business. And being
the leaders in the industry, we are also
gearing up to increase production and
cater to the increasing market demand.
There is also an increase in demand
for proper deigning and setting up of
complete scrap processing house (SPH)
following the CSSD framework for scrap
processing that was developed and
propagated by us. Since the last decade,
our company has focused on the con-
cept of optimization in steel production
through scrap processing route, which
has been very well received and has
gained many followers.

trend that will catch
up very fast in India
Last but not the
least, the use of IoT
that recycling is an industry that is
always going to be in demand. Besides
the environmental benefits, it has huge
economic benefits for the businesses as
well asthe country.
I strongly believe
that recycling is
an industry that is
always going to be
in demand. Besides
the environmental
benefits, it has huge
economic benefits
for the businesses
as well as the
country
(Internet of Things) data to prevent
breakdownsand improve efficiencies is
also making its way in the system.
How favourable are Indian policies
and regulations for recycling
equipment manufacturers today?
Currently, the Government policies are
not providing substantial benefits on
the ground especially for companies like
us. Recently, the ELV policy has gen-
erated much interest in car scrapping
but the policies are still unclear and not
relevant to Indian conditions.
Owing to urgent need to reduce
pollution, and improve recycling rates,
I would recommend that the policy
makers should work towards drafting
a comprehensive policy that provides
end-to-end guidelines for the recycling
sector, offer support to the recycling
sector in all areas such as land, financ-
ing, incentives, etc. I strongly believe

Where in India do you get more
business?
We are the leading manufacturers of
scrap processing equipment for a
variety of scrap such asmetal, paper,
plastic as well as agricultural waste.
Hence, we are delighted to receive
business from all over the country.
As recycling rates are increasing in
the country, so is the demand for high-
ly-efficient and high-productive scrap
processing equipment.
As far as recycling hubs are con-
cerned, we benefit a lot from word-of-
mouth publicity in these areas. Once we
install a machine in any recycling hub,
increased business follows as a result of
the positive reviews we receive.
Though you have mentioned
before, what are the other reasons
the increase in demand for better
equipment?
As mentioned before, with the advent of
bigger furnaces and recycling facilities,
scrap traders and recyclers are
recognizing the advantages of scrap
processing and that too using highly
efficient equipment to reduce costs.
Since last four decades, our biggest
achievement has been to offer complete
recycling solutions that is best-suited to
meet client requirements.
We put an effort to fully understand
and educate the customer about the
entire process. Needless to say,
our customers are our biggest brand
evangelists, and our success is the result
of keeping their requirements first.
