Vatsal Patel From Ashitech Equipment shares insights on Next-Gen, Sustainable & Competitive Construction Equipment
We are working towards lowering the operational cost of our plants through integration of newer technologies and improvisations in their design.
Vatsal Patel, Director
We are now producing asphalt batch mix plants of higher capacity.
Our newly commissioned facility also manufactures varied products like kerb pavers & mechanical pavers, asphalt batch mix plants (80-200 tph), drum mix plants, bitumen pressure distributors, road broomers, and WMM plants.
Improvisations in our plants are aimed at making them more fuel efficient and cost-effective.
One of our key design interventions has been towards enhancing at least 25 percent of the capacity of the plants and making them about 15 percent more fuel efficient than other competing brands. We are doing this by making advancements in the design of the drums and burners so that the latter can maintain the appropriate level of air to fuel ratio for the right heating of the aggregates.We have made our plants more flexible by installing burners of our own design and make such that they can burn fuels of different types at the jobsites. The plants are now more energy efficient and heat insulated with glass wool insulation on the drums and bins for proper mixing of the aggregates and bitumen, especially when working in cold regions.
Another advancement has been done in the mixing design of our plants to process various kinds of aggregates, particularly the river based, abrasive aggregates, mixed with bitumen. While engineering improvisation is a continuous process across our product range, some critical advancements in our other product categories include the provision of a two-side opening in our bitumen distributors.
We are investing in strengthening our plants’ capabilities for concrete solutions.
We are now strengthening our plants’ capabilities for concrete solutions so that they can deliver the rated output more efficiently, in view of the increasing competition in the concrete batching plant segment from established players.We are appointing service engineers in many regions across the country besides widening our product line. Our engineers also stock parts to support plant installations.
