In manufacturing, downtime is costly. Every minute that machines stop, productivity and profits take a hit. One of our clients, a medium-scale fabrication unit in Rajasthan, was struggling with frequent breakdowns in their old shot blasting system. They approached us for a solution that could reduce downtime, improve efficiency, and deliver consistent results.
Here’s how we helped them transform their operations.
The Client’s Challenge
- Frequent breakdowns due to an outdated blasting system
- Poor dust collection leading to workplace issues
- Inconsistent surface finish on fabricated parts
- High maintenance costs and unplanned stoppages
Their existing machine was not designed to handle increasing production demands, resulting in overuse and wear & tear.
Our Approach
We didn’t just replace the old setup — we designed a custom shot blasting solution that matched their specific needs. Our process included:
- Detailed Assessment
- Analyzed production capacity and type of components.
- Studied the root causes of breakdowns in the old system.
- Customized Machine Design
- Recommended a table type shot blasting machine for handling a variety of component sizes.
- Added a robust dust collection system to improve workplace safety.
- Integrated wear-resistant liners to extend the life of critical parts.
- Automation Integration
- Automated material handling with a conveyor system.
- Installed monitoring systems for wheel speed and abrasive flow.
The Results
After installation of the new setup, the client achieved:
- 40% reduction in downtime
- Consistent surface finish across all components
- Lower maintenance costs due to durable parts
- Improved worker safety and compliance with environmental standards
- Increased overall production efficiency
Client Feedback
The client shared that the new setup not only saved them time and repair costs, but also improved their ability to deliver projects on schedule. This helped them win more contracts and build stronger customer trust.
