Presenting clean air solutions purpose-built for India's recycling and material recovery industry — at the Material Recycling Association of India's flagship exhibition, Novotel Jaipur Convention Centre.
TECHFLOW successfully completed its participation at the MRAI Exhibition 2026 — the flagship event of the Material Recycling Association of India (MRAI), the recognised voice of India's recycling industry. Held from 20th to 22nd January 2026 at the Novotel Jaipur Convention Centre, the exhibition brought together scrap metal processors, e-waste recyclers, plastic recycling units, material recovery facilities, and technology providers in a focused, industry-specific setting.
From Stall No. 313, TECHFLOW showcased four clean air solution categories directly relevant to the air quality and emission challenges of the recycling sector — demonstrating once again that TECHFLOW is committed to delivering Healthy Air-vironments not just in heavy industry, but across the full spectrum of India's circular economy.
About the MRAI Exhibition 2026 — India's Recycling Industry Comes Together
The Material Recycling Association of India (MRAI) represents the interests of India's organised recycling and material recovery sector — spanning scrap metal, ferrous and non-ferrous processing, e-waste, plastics, and industrial waste recycling. The MRAI Exhibition is the association's premier gathering, where industry members, technology providers, policymakers, and sustainability champions meet to exchange knowledge and explore innovations that can drive the sector forward.
The 2026 edition at Novotel Jaipur Convention Centre was particularly significant — reflecting the growing maturity and ambition of India's recycling industry at a time when sustainability, circular economy principles, and environmental compliance have moved to the top of the national industrial agenda. For TECHFLOW, the MRAI Exhibition 2026 presented a direct opportunity to connect with recycling operators who face some of the most complex air quality challenges in Indian industry — and who require proven, reliable solutions to address them.
TECHFLOW Showcased Clean Air Solutions for Recycling at MRAI Exhibition 2026
TECHFLOW's Stall 313 at the MRAI Exhibition 2026 was designed around a single, clear message: clean air is not a byproduct of good recycling — it is a prerequisite. The recycling industry generates a wide range of airborne hazards — from furnace fumes and fine metal dust to chemical vapours from plastics processing and particulate emissions from shredding and sorting operations. TECHFLOW's team engaged with visitors across all three days to demonstrate how purpose-built air pollution control systems can transform recycling operations from emission-risk environments into clean, compliant, and efficient facilities.
"Recycling is the backbone of India's circular economy, but it must be done cleanly. TECHFLOW's mission at MRAI 2026 was to show every recycling operator that clean air solutions are accessible, practical, and built for their specific challenges."

Furnace Fume Extraction & Dedusting Systems for Recycling Operations
Two product categories that generated the most active conversations at TECHFLOW's Stall 313 throughout the MRAI Exhibition 2026 were Furnace Fume Extraction Systems and Dedusting Systems — both addressing air quality challenges that are central to safe, compliant recycling operations across India.
Furnace Fume Extraction — Tackling Recycling's Most Hazardous Emissions
Metal recycling and recovery operations routinely involve furnace-based smelting and remelting processes — activities that release complex mixtures of metallic fumes, oxides, and fine particulates that pose serious health risks to workers and significant compliance challenges for operators. TECHFLOW's furnace fume extraction systems use canopy hoods, direct evacuation arms, and integrated filtration to capture fumes directly at the point of generation — before they disperse into the working environment. Visitors from scrap metal processors and secondary aluminium and copper smelters at the MRAI Exhibition 2026 found this approach both practical and immediately applicable to their operations.
Dedusting Systems — Controlling Dust Across the Recycling Process Chain
Recycling operations generate dust at multiple points — from initial shredding and size-reduction through to material separation, granulation, and storage. TECHFLOW's industrial dedusting systems are designed to manage these distributed dust sources efficiently, with flexible ducting configurations and high-capacity filter units that can serve multiple process points from a single installation. At the MRAI Exhibition 2026, the team highlighted the value of source-capture dedusting in reducing ambient dust levels, protecting machinery from abrasive particulates, and ensuring worker safety across the facility.
Fume Extraction — Key Applications
- Induction furnace fume capture
- Secondary aluminium and copper smelting
- Lead-acid battery recycling exhaust
- Zinc and ferrous metal recovery
- E-waste thermal processing units
Dedusting — Key Applications
- Metal shredder and granulator dust

Electrostatic Precipitators & Industrial Fans & Blowers for Recycling Facilities
Alongside fume extraction and dedusting, TECHFLOW's Electrostatic Precipitators (ESPs) and Industrial Fans & Blowers completed a comprehensive air quality solution offering at the MRAI Exhibition 2026 — addressing the high-volume emission streams and ventilation demands of larger recycling and material recovery operations.
Electrostatic Precipitators — Fine Particle Control for High-Volume Streams
In larger recycling operations — particularly those involving continuous furnace operations, high-volume scrap processing, or captive power generation — fabric filtration alone may not be sufficient for the gas volumes involved. TECHFLOW's ESPs provide a high-efficiency, low-maintenance solution for capturing fine particulates from these larger exhaust streams, with collection efficiencies that consistently meet and exceed CPCB emission standards. Several visitors from integrated scrap processing and secondary metal recovery units at the MRAI Exhibition 2026 engaged in detailed discussions about ESP sizing and installation for their specific plant configurations.
Industrial Fans & Blowers — Reliable Air Movement Across the Recycling Plant
Effective fume extraction, dedusting, and gas cleaning all depend on reliable, correctly specified fans and blowers to move air through the system. TECHFLOW's range of industrial centrifugal fans and blowers covers the full spectrum of recycling plant air handling needs — from low-pressure ventilation fans for general workshop areas to high-pressure centrifugal blowers for pneumatic conveying and process exhaust applications. The MRAI Exhibition 2026 gave TECHFLOW's team an opportunity to discuss fan selection, energy efficiency, and maintenance considerations with plant operators who had experienced reliability or performance issues with their existing installations.
- ESP solutions for continuous furnace exhaust and high-volume particulate streams
- Centrifugal fans for fume extraction, dedusting, and general plant ventilation
- High-pressure blowers for pneumatic conveying of granulated metals and plastics
- Corrosion-resistant fan materials for chemical and e-waste processing environments
- Noise-controlled fan designs suitable for residential proximity recycling sites
Industry Interaction & Visitor Engagement at MRAI Exhibition 2026
All three days at Stall 313 in the Novotel Jaipur Convention Centre saw strong visitor engagement from across India's recycling sector. The visitor profile at the MRAI Exhibition 2026 was notably focused — unlike multi-sector industrial exhibitions, the MRAI event brought together specialists who live the challenges of recycling operations daily, making technical conversations immediate, specific, and highly productive for both parties.
A recurring theme across visitor discussions was the increasing pressure on India's recycling industry to formalise its environmental compliance practices. As regulatory enforcement tightens and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) frameworks mature, recycling operators are under growing obligation to demonstrate that their facilities meet emission and workplace air quality standards — not just on paper, but in actual operation. TECHFLOW's ability to provide independently verified, CPCB-compliant air pollution control systems gave visitors the confidence that TECHFLOW understands the regulatory landscape and can deliver systems that hold up under scrutiny.
Key Topics Discussed at Stall 313
- CPCB emission compliance for furnace-based scrap metal and secondary smelting operations
- Designing dedusting systems for retrofitting into existing shredding and granulation lines
- Fume control for lead-acid battery recycling under new EPR and pollution norms
- Compact, space-efficient system designs suitable for smaller urban recycling facilities
- After-sales support, spare parts, and annual service contracts for installed systems
TECHFLOW's team approached each visitor enquiry with a practical, solutions-oriented mindset — acknowledging the operational and financial constraints of the recycling sector while identifying the most effective and cost-efficient path to compliance and improved air quality.
