Project Methodology

Work at Solcon begins starts presales. On receipt of an enquiry, the Solcon team gets down to the site to study the location and understand specific customer needs. Based on this study, systems and equipments are designed at Solons full fledge Design division. A special cell equipped with the latest CAD systems and manned by a team of talented design engineers and skilled draughts men, this division generates schemes that are then evaluated for their techno-economic feasibility before presenting to the client.

Tougher the assignment, the better. Because Solcon thrives on challenges. Seeing very new task as a means of expanding its capabilities. Thus over the years, while serving various clients, Solcon has moved beyond Coal and Ash Conveying to Handling Soya bean, Limestone, Cement, Iron Ore and other materials.

Once the layout and detailed drawings are prepared and approved the manufacturing process commences. At the companies large facility at Pune with skilled and experience workers we manufacture assemble and test key components such as Rollers and Pulleys and equipments like Crushers, Screens, Rotary Feeders, Reciprocating Feeders, Screw Conveyors, belt Feeders, bucket Elevators etc.

At our factory we have the latest manufacturing and testing facilities to produce equipments that meet Solcon's own high standards of performance and durability with minimum downtime and power consumption.

For instance idler rollers which are the heart of Belt Conveyors are manufactured on fully Automatic Welding Machines to obtain concentricity. A great deal of research has gone into the development of seals to give the desired friction levels without ingress of dust and water.

We have tight control on every manufacturing process due to which deadlines are met which keeps the clients work on schedule without an loss of valuable time or money.

Stringent Testing

Testing is an all-important part of Solcon's operations and indeed the secret of it's success. Inspection is done at all stages of manufacturing starting with the raw material. The procured items like casting are checked for their composition. Finished products are tested for dimensional accuracy.

Besides the general tests and checks at very stage of the Manufacturing and Assembling process, special attention is paid to critical components such as rollers and pulleys which play a crucial role in the performance of a belt conveyor system.

The seals at the ends of the rollers have been developed for achieving minimum friction and eliminating water and dust ingress. And these are tested on machines especially designed at Solcon.

Pulley shafts are of EN - 8 which are tested before being used for manufacturing and all pulleys are statically balanced to ensure uniform loading of the bearings, thus increasing operational life. The bought out items and other fabricated item that go into making a complete conveying system are dispatched only after approved by Solcon's quality assurance engineers to ensure desired Quality and Performance.

When it comes to installations. Solcon makes sure nothing is left to chance. A site supervisor is appointed for each project to supervise and monitor progress. Strict stage-wise inspections are carried out and any problem or contingency that may rise, is promptly dealt with.

For the actual erection and construction, Solcon has its own construction company, which specialises in this field. This avoids communication gaps and the resultant delays, with assuring quality and punctuality.

Thus, while clients are saved the inconvenience of personally supervising project installations or hiring other companies for the job, they know with Solcon they are guaranteed timely completion of the system.
