How is your company preparing for Excon 2023?

Our company has a WCM factory in Tumkur, which is 50 km away from the Excon venue. We specialise in manufacturing a wide range of hydraulic filters and accessories for equipment including excavators, backhoe loaders, wheel loaders, compactors, forklifts, all types of cranes, SLM, transit mixers and boom pumps. We have been in this industry for three decades.

For Excon 2023, we are excited to introduce several new products designed for the aforementioned equipment segments. Notably, we will be launching hydraulic filter assembly kits for excavators and forklifts, FS531 filter assemblies for transit mixers, FRTR122 filter assemblies for cranes and FH323 filter assemblies for aerial work platform (AWP) equipment. These innovative products have been meticulously designed and developed at our R&D centre in Italy, manufactured at our Tumkur factory and rigorously tested in various OEM field conditions.

We've established partnerships with numerous OEMs for their upcoming CEV 5 equipment in earthmoving, material handling, concrete and road paving sectors.

Our offerings include:

Our Absolute BETA spark buster filter effectively prevents formation of ESD sludge and reduces noise in hydraulic systems.
Absolute BETA H20 filter eliminates oxidation and rust formation within the hydraulic circuit.
Our 2000 BETA ratio filter extends the filter change interval to over 1000 hours, preventing rapid ageing and degradation of hydraulic oil. This filter also ensures the longevity and proper functioning of hydraulic valves, cylinders and pumps, maintaining them in a condition similar to that of new equipment.

Will your company launch any products at Excon 2023 that align with Excon's theme of “Building a Better World” through sustainable practices?

We have over 2,00,000 filter part numbers that cater to the mobile and industrial hydraulic markets. These filters were conceived and launched with the tagline "Building a Better World" guiding our thoughts and actions. Each BETA filter we manufacture is engineered to extend the machine's lifespan by 20 per cent. This is achieved through technical improvements that increase oil change intervals, extend filter change periods and enhance the longevity of hydraulic valves, cylinders and pumps. Fleet owners who choose our filters will benefit from reduced downtime, increased machine utilisation and improved profitability.

In line with ISO 4406 and NAS 1638 standards, our filters can achieve NAS Level 1 oil purity and possess a 2000 Beta ratio for 4-micron-sized particles. This means that our filters permit only one particle for every 2000 of its 4-micron size.

For us, sustainable products translate to longer machine lifespans, extended intervals between hydraulic oil and filter changes, greater direct holding capacity, reduced pressure drops and enhanced filtration efficiency in filter media.

Your view of the Indian market for your products.

With the assistance of various government initiatives, such as the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP), Gati Shakti, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, Bharat Mala, Sagarmala, AtmaNirbhar Bharat and PLI schemes, India is expected to become the third-largest economy by FY28. This signifies a positive outlook for the construction, mining, paving, handling and transportation sectors over the next four years. As Indian fleet owners and buyers are increasingly adopting latest technologies, the market for preventive maintenance products is currently experiencing significant improvement.
