OPEN A CASE TO SEE THE DUTY, THE SCOPE AND THE OUTCOME.
Each case opens into three columns: what the equipment had to do, the scope exactly as the customer itemised it and what they confirmed afterwards, with the statement, the name and the date. If you would like to see an original letter, ask and we will send it.
A screw conveyor for IOCL Panipat, delivered to a German OEM's schedule
Coperion Ideal, the Indian arm of the German bulk material handling OEM, placed a screw conveyor order against a refinery project at IOCL Panipat. On an EPC schedule of that kind the conveyor is rarely the critical item, right up until it is late.
- Screw conveyor supplied against Coperion purchase order AM230067
- Built to Coperion's specification for the IOCL Panipat project
- Delivered inside the project schedule, with additional effort on the job acknowledged by the customer
Coperion's Vice President for Sales & Service wrote to the Cosben team the day the job closed, and, notably, asked to continue the partnership on future projects.
"Thanks a lot for timely delivery and your extra efforts for this job. Coperion really appreciate your support and would like to continue this partnership for future projects also."
A complete cement handling system, still running after the first year
A precast and concrete products yard taking cement in 50 kg sacks and needing it in silos, then metered out reliably. That is four separate problems, opening bags, getting the cement up, keeping the silo safe and discharging it evenly and they are usually bought from four suppliers.
- Automatic Bag Slitting Machine, 400 bags/hour on 50 kg cement bags
- Pneumatic silo feeding system
- Screw feeders
- Silo accessories: dust filters, butterfly valves, level indicators, pressure relief valves
Fourteen months after commissioning, the customer put their satisfaction in writing and confirmed the system was still in operation. The scope list above is theirs, not ours, it is transcribed from their letter.
"This is to confirm that we are satisfied with the performance of cement handling system which we have purchased from M/s Cosben Equipment in the month of Dec.2015. … Above system is in operation for more than 1 year."
Seven screw feeders, four years and the phrase every plant manager wants
An AAC block plant runs continuously and lives on consistent dosing. Screw feeders in that duty handle lime, cement and fine aluminium powder, abrasive and unforgiving if a feeder starts to wander or stops.
- Seven screw feeders manufactured at Thane for the AAC block plant
- In continuous service for four years at the time the customer wrote
- Duty: dosing into AAC block production
The customer's own summary is the outcome measure: not a specification met, but four years of production without the drama.
"We are extremely satisfied with the quality of manufacturing of the above screw feeders and operation of the same which has helped us in maintaining smooth & hassle free production in our operative plant."
Filters specified per application, inside an FLSmidth system for four to five years
A global OEM building packing and bulk handling systems does not fit a catalogue filter. Each machine needs a filter area and a filter medium chosen for the powder, the air volume and the cleaning cycle it will actually see.
- Cosben filters supplied into FLSmidth systems
- Filter area sized per application, not per catalogue
- Filter media selected per application
- In their systems for four to five years at the time of writing
FLSmidth confirmed three things separately, workmanship, quality and performance, which is the language of a company that inspects what it buys.
"This is to certify that we have been using COSBEN make filters (with application specific filter area and filter media) in our systems for last 4-5 years and are satisfied with the workmanship, quality and performance of the same."
A safe venting PRV, three months from commissioning to a written verdict
A pressure relief valve on a cement silo only matters twice: during tanker filling and on the day it fails. A self-venting design has to relieve reliably and filter what it releases, at height, where nobody inspects it weekly.
- Self venting pressure relief valve for the Kalapatti plant cement silo
- Commissioned 20 October 2019
- Written performance confirmation received 31 January 2020
Roughly a hundred days of service, then an unprompted letter with the subject line "Performance Regarding".
"We would like to inform you that your self venting pressure relief valve is working fine and the performance level is excellent. It is completely satisfy our purpose."
One machine or a whole line, the engineering conversation is the same.
A single pressure relief valve on a ready mix silo and a complete cement handling system for a precast yard start from the same four questions: what the material is, how much of it, where it has to go and what the machine has to survive. Answer those and the specification follows.
01
Material, bulk density, moisture and temperature
WHAT IT IS
02
Throughput in tonnes per hour and the duty cycle
HOW MUCH
03
Centres, angle, headroom and the tie-in points
WHERE IT GOES
04
Abrasiveness, hygiene, ATEX or temperature constraints
WHAT IT MUST SURVIVE
