Question : With your elaborate range of Material Handling Equipment and your conspicuous presence in Power, Steel, Mining, Cement, Fertilizer, Sugar and other infrastructure in India and abroad what is the element of your success? Is it Innovation, supplying solution, quality Equipment or your responsive management?
Answer: In the current dynamic world Innovation plays very crucial role. Business sustainability totally depends on how technological innovations are taking place within the organizations to meet day to day challenges of competitive environment. All our current technological Innovations are 100% in-sync with the current market demands since we have always aligned to market forces and expectations.
However, Bevcon strongly believes in Value Innovation which has been the life line for organization sustainable growth and gives immense confidence to the customer in terms of providing most cost effective and reliable solutions. Innovation is most crucial in three areas i.e. people, processes and performance, which are crucial differentiators for our strong collaborative work culture which in turn breed innovativeness across the organization. We continuously strive for innovation in all these three domains for every project we do, source of innovation being the challenges of the project. Our specially formed in-house research and development group called PMG (Product Management Group) develops average 10-12 new equipment per year for the various material handling needs. The core focus of the department is development of new products, validation of products and cost effective solutions to customer's critical applications. The group consists of subject matter specialists from various domains who work collectively to get the ultimate results.
Bevcon executes projects with blend of latest technology with conventional systems in most optimized manner which will enhance the operations reliability. Bevcon's core strength lies in use of Innovative Conveying Systems and Equipment which cater to present day demands of Indian mining sector. Our highly competent technical team supported by technology partners from US and Europe are in position of supplying the Innovative equipment.
Some of the innovations by Bevcon are:
Use of Steep Angle side-wall Conveyors for one of the critical application of material conveying in a Steel Plant and introduction of this equipment has revolutionized the concept across other industry applications.
Recently, we have commissioned steep angle sidewall conveyor in one of the cement plant in India for conveying clinker from wagon unloading to silo storage which is first-of its-kind installation in Indian cement industry. This revolutionary concept will change the current practices adopted in Indian Cement Industry.
Successfully commissioned high capacity & long distance Fly Ash handling system in cement plant (from power plant ash silo to cement mill) “ this will enable cost effective conveying of fly ash fulfilling 100% environmental needs.
Executed in record time 1.4 km overland pipe conveyor for handling 3190TPH limestone. This installation will show case Bevcon competency in the bulk material handling applications and as well as project management abilities.
Pneumatic handling systems for waste rubber powder feeding to kiln to bring down the coal consumption.
Bio-mass and solid waste feeding to kilns / furnaces are major breakthroughs apart other.
Introduction of Sandwich Belt High Angle Conveyors in open pit mine for in-pit crushing and conveying is breakthrough concept of conveying any mineral from pit bottom to the surface by totally eliminating use of conventional trucks. It also minimizes the environmental degradation and brings down the operational costs drastically and enhances productivity and product quality. This unique concept was never tried before in Indian mining industry.
Introduction of high efficient Flip-Flow Screens for screening of very high moisture materials, more specifically has changed the philosophy of conventional screening methods in power sector. In India, coal is most sought after fuel for Thermal Power units and most of the time either coal will be imported or mined from open cast mines and stored in open areas leading to high moisture absorption. The high moisture levels in the coal will be crushed and screened before it goes for boiler firing where the challenge lies in screening high moisture coal. Conventional screening methods will not be productive enough or meet the demands of the plant. Innovative Flip Flow Screen has the ability to screen coal with moisture of 40% and efficient enough to the levels of 90% screening.
Undoubtedly, Bevcon made a difference to the Indian material handling industry by contributing innovative concepts, solutions and producing new generation material handling products.
