Transmission has pioneered the Vacuum booster
technology, which can custom manufacture the blowers
in any size and any capacity.
A little change in technology is a giant variation
in customization. Everest Transmission, the leading
manufacturer of mechanical Vacuum boosters, has,
perhaps, streamlined its corporate motto in that
direction. For the last 20 years, the company
has been escalating its technical and engineering
expertise to serve various segments of industry.
Be it water treatment plant, effluent treatment
plant, cement plant, chemical plant or electroplating
plant, Everest blowers and boosters find their
presence.
BLOWING
TO SUCCESS
The
success story of Everest germinates from its commitment
to quality. Circa 1980, Everest started manufacturing
'twin lobe rotary air blowers' when India was
importing them from the U.S.A. During that period
the industrial giant Bharat Heavy Electrical Ltd.
(BHEL) started a program of vendor development,
which was intended for minimizing stage inspection
by BHEL at various vendors as it was an additional
burden on their QA. BHEL invested a lot of time
and energy on that program. Then they thought
of their engineers training some qualified vendors
and improving their level of reliability and quality
so that there would not be any need of individual
component inspection.
That was an opportunity
for Everest Transmission and it was selected as
the company was manufacturing quality products
and people were technically sound. In 1985, it
developed a quality plan with assistance and guidance
of BHEL. Based on that plan, it maintained consistent
quality and high standard of the product. Moreover,
its drawings and designs were standardized and
controlled. "Our technology is so flexible,
we can custom manufacture special air blowers
by alloying and cross linking diverse designs
to suit individual requirements and import substitutes,"
says Yash Pal Kapur, Managing Director of the
company.
The leading factor
was the quality of the product. In fact, even
before going for ISO certification, Everest was
maintaining the same procedures since 1985. Says
Rajesh Malhotra, Director (Technical) : "We
followed the required process. If the process
was not giving the required result, we changed
the process. But for two years, BHEL engineers
worked with us. We were lucky that we had relation
with such industrial giants. They taught us the
missing quality commitment, the company could
handle prestigious projects for clients like BHEL,
NTPC, lon Exchange and Thermax. "By working
with them, we started understanding their quality
requirements, need for written procedure, importance
of material identification & co-relation and
calibration of test equipment. We learnt these
over a period of time," explains Amit Kapur,
Director in the company. Initially it started
with quality consciousness. That has paid Everest
well. As the quality was good, people trusted
the product. As the product reliability was good,
it got a very good share of the Indian Market.
BROAD PRODUCT
LINE
Everest Transmission
has a wide range of products including air blowers,
water cooled blowers, gas blowers, Vacuum booster
pumps, acoustic hoods and enclosures. The blowers
provide 100 percent oil free air delivery and
are a factory engineered superior product ensuring
improved volumetric efficiency. These find application
in water treatment plants for backwashing of filter
and mixed beds. They are used in effluent treatment
plants for diffused aeration and agitation of
effluent. Manufacturers in cement plants, aquaculture,
chemical plants, electroplating units, paper plants,
yarn drying and pneumatic conveying believe in
the superior quality of Everest Transmission's
products.
Everest air blowers
are used in effluent treatment plants for diffused
aeration and agitation of effluents.
The Vacuum blowers
have not only eased the process but they have
helped in saving money by reducing energy consumption.
"In sewage treatment plant, when you have
to transfer the liquid form one vessel to another
vessel, you normally use a slurry pump. Then your
pump has to take higher load, as it has to transfer
waste materials like papers, plastics, and similar
materials. In this case, one can use our Vacuum
boosters, which can create Vacuum in one vessel
so that the liquid or the slurry could be transferred
within a range of seven to eight meters. This
not only eases transfer of material but also does
it with minimum consumption of energy. That is
the beauty of the system," explains Malhotra.
