Machining
Machining
Seats and sealing faces machined to tolerance, because a strainer that will not seal is a leak with a nameplate. Castings machined against jigs and fixtures prepared to the production schedule.
Manufacturing facility
Ayanambakkam, Chennai — where all of it actually happens
Planning, drawing release, machining, welding, assembly, inspection, finishing and despatch, in one sequence under one roof. Your inspector is welcome on any working day.
The difference it makes
Manufacturing is not the same as procuring
Plenty of companies in this market will quote your enquiry. Fewer will be the ones holding the grinder when a weld gets rejected. That distinction only shows up at the point where something goes wrong — which is exactly when it matters.
Because production, quality and dispatch sit in the same building, a non-conformance raised on Monday is usually corrected the same week. There is no sub-contractor queue, no three-way conversation about whose fault it was, and no shipping the part across the country to be reworked.
- A line inspector checks dimensions and visuals during machining, not only at final inspection — so an error is caught while it is still cheap.
- Tools, jigs and fixtures are prepared ahead of schedule against the production plan rather than improvised on the day.
- Castings are drawn from our own stores with traceability maintained through machining.
- Standard ranges are held in stock, so common items ship in very short delivery times.
In-house
Machining, welding, assembly, testing and painting on one site
Manufacturing process flow
From production plan to documented despatch
This is the sequence every item follows through the works. It is the same flow chart that appears in our company profile, and the same one an auditor will be walked through.
Planning
Product realisation plan and traveller received from planning; an internal production plan and machining schedule is built.
Drawings
Drawings collected from the drawing department, and tools, jigs and fixtures made ready against the schedule.
Machining
Castings received from stores and machined, with dimensional and visual checking by the line inspector in process.
Fabrication
Drilling, welding where required, and assembly of the completed item ahead of inspection.
Inspection
Final inspection and testing against the specification before anything is released to finishing.
Despatch
Draining, cleaning and lubrication, then marking, painting and documented despatch with test records.
Shop capability
What the floor can do
Machining
Fabrication
Welded Fabrication
Welded fabrication by qualified personnel in controlled shop conditions — the same capability that produces our pipe spools, skids and structural steel. Fit-up, weld and dimensional checks throughout.
Heavy work
Large Bore & Heavy Sections
Bodies and covers up to the largest sizes in our range, with davit lifting devices and hinged or clamped covers engineered so heavy lids can be removed safely in service.
Testing
Testing & Inspection
Hydrostatic testing, radiographic testing, PMI and NDT as the specification requires, plus factory acceptance testing on skid packages covering electrical checks and instrumentation calibration.
Finishing
Surface Treatment
All cast iron and carbon steel units epoxy painted to resist rust; ductile iron valve bodies epoxy powder coated inside and out. Threaded and socket weld ends given hex ends for easy installation.
Despatch
Marking & Documentation
Every item nameplated and marked, with test records travelling alongside. For structural scope, the same organisation continues to site for erection, alignment and handover with records.
Engineering & R&D
A technical department that is not only quoting
Part of the staff within our technical department is dedicated to research and development. That is what allows improvements and brand-new products to enter the range on a regular basis instead of the catalogue standing still for a decade.
It is also what makes our special engineering division possible — strainers designed for applications where no standard product fits, engineered against your process conditions rather than adapted from something close.
- Repeat batch production with consistency held across the run, which is what OEM customers actually buy from us.
- Custom designs engineered to your GA, isometric or datasheet.
- Continuous improvement fed back from what we see failing in the field.
