Industry ContributionS

---

The following are the major quality development contributions introduced and implemented by us during our glorious industry tenure of  37+ years.

· Motorised cleaning conveyer: We designed and installed a motorised conveyer belt for dipping the halves  into caustic soda tank, which is operated at 100°C by immersion electric heaters. This enables improvement in ineffective cleaning operations, safety to workers and allowing better control of timing and temperature for the halves.

· Buffing at Bung welding: We buff the welding surface of each half before bung welding as a precautionary measure to ensure a 100% clean surface.

· Buffing at C- welding: We buff the welding surface of each half before welding as a precautionary measure to ensure a 100 % clean surface and also installed a separate buffing machine to clean the joggling projection of halving before assembling.

· Table mounted magnifying glass: We have introduced a table mounted magnifying glass at bung & c-welding inspection stages to better spot defects on cylinders.

· Electronic weighing M/c: We replaced the traditional/manual weighing machine with a Digital Electronic weighing machine for better accuracy and consistency.

· AT/BT Reports generation using Software : We are the first cylinder manufacturer who developed programs in FoxPro language for generating test reports of AT and BT conducted on cylinders which were developed in a foolproof manner and being implemented by us since 1999. Reports like dispatch packing list of cylinders to bottling plants, CCOE filling permission annexes for obtaining filling permission also implemented in computer database system since 1999.

· Stencilling paint stand : We are the first one to introduce a stencilling paint stand, to eliminate human error and for proper stencilling of logos on the cylinder.

· Corrugated Sheets for Packing: We are the first one who introduced a corrugated sheet in 1995 for cylinder packing which covers the entire body of the cylinder, so as to prevent scratches on the cylinder body and paint damage during transit if any.

· Conveyor painting system: We installed a conveyor painting system for both red oxides and signal red painting in the 1990 year itself, to avoid handling damage and maintain a good quality of the painting.

· MIG welding:  We shifted to the MIG welding process from Submerged arc welding at Bung welding and C-welding stages for a better quality of welding.

· 2 Time Pneumatic Testing: We are doing pneumatic testing the second time to avoid human error if any.

· Body Welding stabiliser: We installed a stabiliser at the Body welding stage to control current fluctuations, we are the first one installed digital ammeters and voltmeters in the place of analog meters at the Bung & C-welding stage for maintaining accurate welding parameters.

· We are the only cylinder manufacturer to procure ISO 8501 -1:1988 standard (rare standard) showing the pictorial views for grit blasting finish in 1997, from Germany.
