MISCELLANEOUS PROJECTS…..

Power Shovel : 10 CuM Walking dragline : 24CuM bucket capacity Gyratory crusher BOOM for 5 CuM EXCAVATOR.

In HMTP : CNC Deep hole Boring Machine( Ordnance factory, Kanpur) CNC Turret lathe Vertical turning and boring machine( Bhilai Steel plant)

In HMBP :

MY OBSERVATIONS….

The plant was very well planned in the sense of transfer of goods from one shop to another.

The FFP and HMBP were further divided into 5 individual shops while the HMTP was divided into 3 shops.

HMBP : Machine shop Fabrication shop Gear cutting shop Steel structural shop Assembly shop

HMTP : Light machining shop Medium Machining shop Heavy machining shop

The foundry shop was under maintenance due to lack of funds

High wastage of scrap metal

Pieces manufactured or machined used to take a period of around 2-3 days to 2 months.
