Airtech Consultancy Services is a Coimbatore-based total turnkey piping solutions provider, specializing in design, supply and installation. It can also provide compressor, reservoir tank, refrigeration dryer and galvanized iron as well as aluminum piping for compressed air systems.
The company presented a variety of quality products at Texfair 2016 in Coimbatore. The product range covered rotary screw air compressor, compressed air piping system (GI and aluminum), refrigeration compressed air dryer, air reservoir tank, pneumatic fittings and fire protection systems.
Speaking to The Textile Magazine on the occasion, Mr. G. Pradhap Chandran, Operation Head of the company, observed: “As our name suggests, we offer comprehensive solutions with respect to piping engineering. As a company which offers turnkey solutions in piping, we give end-to-end solutions (design, fabricate, execute and handover)”.
Piping systems
Airtech Consultancy Services has already carved a niche for itself through its Aignep compressed air pipe systems. Going into details about the piping systems, Mr. S. Sreenivasan, Technical Head of the company, said: “Our piping systems are completely metal, which come with aluminum and brass fittings, accessories in the fitting are not loosely fixed, unlike other similar products which come with plastic fittings easy to install and ready for immediate pressurization. The Aignep system comes with patented technology, which helps to avoid moisture contamination and providing 10 years warranty”.
Mr. Sreenivasan added: “Our galvanized iron piping systems are designed to provide superior energy efficiency. We offer 100% joint-free systems. This gives our piping systems the edge in durability. We supply both aluminum as well as galvanized iron pipes. Another advantage with our galvanized iron piping systems is that while others use readymade bends, we use arc bends by using special equipments, which enables us to bend in whatever shape required by the client. This feature, combined with continuous welding and our special design, ensures high energy efficiency. With our piping systems, in idle condition whatever the pressure is at the compressor room, you will find the same pressure at the user end. There is virtually no drop in air pressure due to piping”.
Top-notch products
The company launched a model of rotary screw air compressors for Hanbell at the event. Referring to its key features, Mr. Chandran stated: “We import the Hanbell brand air compressors from Taiwan for supply here in India. Hanbell is a globally well-known name with offices in Italy, Shanghai and Vietnam. Some of the top features of the screw compressors include gearless 1:1 drive, instant power display (unlike other similar competitor products which don’t have this option), intelligent control system, excellent after cooler and oil cooling system, high efficiency design, durable rigid piping, belt-tension self-adjusting design, and bigger sized and effective cooler. The recurring costs and power consumption with this compressor is less when compared to other similar products available in the market. So we can provide five years package to the customers”.
While giving inputs into another new launch of the company, the refrigeration compressed air dryer, Mr. Sreenivasan said: “Our dryer features a special technology known as ‘Shell & Tube’ technology. The dryer is also divided into compartments. These features ensure quick cooling, which results in lots of power savings”.
Highlighting the company’s focus on after-sales technical support, Mr. Chandran pointed out: “We have a workforce comprising over 80 staff members, of this 10 are exclusively taking care of after sales service. We provide prompt service in every nook and corner of the country. Apart from our own service team, we also have the support of the service teams of our principles based in Mumbai, Pune, and Chennai”.
Mr. Sreenivasan disclosed that the company also does comprehensive air audits. Explaining the process, he said: “We don’t believe in doing an audit just for the sake of it. We do exhaustive audits of the entire system. We analyse all issues and ensure all damaged spares are replaced immediately. This is possible since we are having all the equipments, components and spares and components that are required”.
On the future plans of the company, Mr. Chandran said: “We are in the process of expanding our marketing team. Also we are planning for a warehouse with assembly section. Very soon we will have exclusive marketing teams to focus on different zones of the country.”
