Consultancy Painting Plant — Imported Equipment
All Paint Shop Consultancy is a specialised subject. The services are looked after exclusively by Technical Director Mr. Umesh Prabhu having 40 years of valued experience in Industrial Paint Shops in India and abroad.
In India, during past years many companies have imported Painting Plants and Powder Coating Plants from their collaborators. It is very expensive to run the plant at lower capacity or through a foreign agency. There is a great need for a reputed consultant who is already experienced and who can guide, suggest and locate vendors to maintain and operate such process plants without any stoppage.
Consultancy for imported painting plant equipment covers guidance on the following:
- Spares Availability — Since this is a continuous process plant, any stoppage is directly related to output. Many critical items like conveyors, pumps, heat exchangers, blowers and filters may have exceeded their useful life if the plant has been used by the parent company for more than 5 years.
- Application Compatibility — Generally such plants are customised as per output and process to optimise, but if such an imported plant is used for a different application in India then it is likely to incur more cost. Guidance is provided to assess this and recommend adjustments.
- Operating Cost Reduction — Guidance to cut down operating costs because of large variety and dynamic product mix. Production controls technique to save on LPG, chemical cost, powder cost and other operating costs.
- Upgradation Guidance — Detailed study required to fix up additional plant requirements and accordingly plan and spend on upgradation for more details on Revamping / Modification Painting Plant.
All Consultancy Painting Plant and Audit Painting Plant services are exclusively handled by Technical Director Mr. Umesh Prabhu with 40 years of valued experience in Industrial Paint Shops in India and abroad. Whether it is a free audit, comprehensive consultancy, revamping of an existing plant or guidance on imported equipment — all technical decisions are made by an expert with hands-on experience across all kinds of painting plant configurations.
