Tirupati Refractories is strategically located, high performance, quality
conscious and technology driven organization committed to meet
the stringent product specification and customer demands.
Tirupati Refractories has fully equipped modern plant with initial
installed capacity of 6000 MT per annum. It currently
successfully caters to the refractory needs of various critical
and core industries, such as Ferrous, Non-ferrous, Chemicals,
Petro-Chemicals, Refineries, Paper and Glass etc, throughout the
country. The high quality timeliness in delivery and cost
competency can be well reflected by its clientele database
consisting of Iron and Steel giants like, Bhilai Steel Plant,
Jindal Steels and Prakash Industries Limited etc.
The
availability or raw material, reliable power supply, skilled
manpower, spares and consumables, communication and
transportation facilities and easy accessibility to various
other resources gives the unit an edge over its competitors. In
a short span of time Tirupati Refractories has emerged a market
leader in refractories in the region.
Tirupati Refractories is goal oriented, quality driven and highly
motivated manufacturing unit supported by competent and
committed management team and technologists. The development
efforts of the plant signifies their quality consciousness and
the quality of the plant is measured by the degree of customer
satisfaction achieved.
>>
THE MANUFACTURING <<
The
term refractory is usually defined as that a substance to which
it is applied is "Difficult to fuse." The
manufacturing cycle of a refractory brick can be seen by the

THE PLANT <<
Tirupati Refractories is dedicated to meet the stringent qualitative and
requirement of the customers. End user satisfaction plays a major
role in the policy decisions of the firm. The unit is equipped
with down draft kilns with oil boosting provisions. It has a
battery of heavy-duty friction screw/burger presses as well as
hydraulic presses for the manufacturing of solid bricks, critical
shapes and hollow wares. Hand molding section is also well
experienced.
Magnetic
separators are installed for removal of free iron particles.
Individual batch weighing system ensures proper quantitative
balance of raw materials. Muller mixer and double shaft mixer
ensures homogenous mixing of raw materials. Raw materials are
screened thoroughly for maintaining proper granulometric
composition. Mill house consists of Pulveriser and ball mill for
fine grinding supported by pan mill, and Jaw crushers. Thus all
the equipment installed ensures availability of all properly
graded raw materials. The plant also has a hot floor to remove
moisture from green products.
It
is equipped with the necessary paraphernalia to confirm and
maintain the quality standards set for the products. The technical
team comes into action from the time the material enters the
facility and preserves the quality through regular tests and
samples till it leaves. The reduction in rejects and wastes gives
the unit better market standing and an upper hand over its
competition.
>>
THE LABORATORY <<
It
is a competitive world and superior quality stands tall as a
pillar for advancement and an edge over the competitors. Tirupati
Refractories has a well-equipped and fully loaded laboratory to
check and maintain the quality of products produced.
The
lab has the capabilities to test properties like PCE, PLC, RUL,
CCS, RTE, Flexural strength, SR, Apparent Porosity, Bulk Density
and all other chemical tests. It is equipped with laboratory scale
pilot plant for testing of various products before starting
commercial production.
The
various tests can be described as under :
P.C.E.
(Pyrometric Cone Equivalent): The temperature at which a
refractory will deform under its own weight is indicated by PCE.
P.L.C.
(Permanent Linear Change): It on reheating and cooling give an
indication of the volume stability of the product as well as
stability off process parameter during manufacture.
R.U.L.
(Refractory Under Load): It gives an indication of the temperature
at which the brick will collapse in service condition at similar
load.
A.P.
(Apparent Porosity): It is the measure of the volume of the open
pores into which a liquid can penetrate as a percentage of the
total volume.
B.D.
(Bulk Density): It defines the material present in the given
volume.
C.C.S.
(Cold Crushing Strength): It reveals the ability of the brick to
withstand the rigors of transportation.
The
above stated definitions clearly indicate the quality tests
undergone by the bricks. Tirupati refractories is a quality
conscious unit, which has a well-run total quality management
program. The state of the art technology able backed by competent
and committed technologists enables the company to produce high
quality products. |
