Interview with Mr. R. S. Raghavan, M.D. of PROMAN INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES PVT LTD
PROMAN INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES PVT LTD was formed in 2001 by a group of professionals having extensive experience in Crushing and Screening. Here, the Managing Director of PROMAN, R. S. Raghavan, highlights some key areas in the business of crushing.
At PROMAN Infrastructure Services Pvt Ltd we manufacture and supply world class crushing and screening equipment. These include a complete range like PROMAN-LIPPMANN jaw crushers, PROcone – Cone crushers, PROMAN-REMco Vertical Shaft Impact (VSI) Crushers, PROMAN-ORTNER sand washing systems, PROMAN-Finedoor screens and feeders. PROMAN is based out of Bangalore, India and offers options for mobile units as well.
PROMAN offers great collaborations with world leaders in crushing and screening – like our PROMAN-REMco Vertical Shaft Impact Crushers (with REMco of USA), PROMAN-Finedoor Screens (with Finedoor of UK), PROMAN-ORTNER (with Aggregates of USA). In conjunction with this we have our technology of PROMAN-LIPPMANN jaw crushers (with Lippmann of USA) and the PROcone cone crushers. Our equipment are rugged, versatile and produce great tonnage, shape and quality at the same time. To top it all, we offer our mobile range in the name of PROMO VSI, PROMO Screens, PROMO Jaw and PROMO cones as well.
PROMAN can cater to world class standards in terms of aggregate and sand specifications to be met by various customers.
Demand for aggregates in India
The demand for aggregates continues to remain strong – more importantly the demand for quality aggregates with significance on tonnage is perhaps stronger ! What PROMAN can offer is exactly this quality and tonnage at a price very acceptable to the customer! PROMAN has a whole range of equipment in collaboration with world class crushing and screening equipment companies – with such collaborations, PROMAN offers varied solutions to customers to meet their specific requirements. On the other hand, we also offer single equipment alongside turnkey crushing solutions and for those looking for mobile crushing options, we have that too!
Maintenance and repairs
The key to taking care of this is by having well-trained service personnel within our own teams and by also
training the operators at the site of the customers first hand – both of which PROMAN is extremely committed about. At PROMAN, any breakdown at site is a problem that our personnel take up personally and attend to immediately. To make things somewhat easier, we also stock fast moving wear parts in different regions in India, and reduce downtime of machinery by periodical inspections as well.
Since PROMAN is a manufacturer of most of the components, we are able to offer a very low operating cost per tonne of crushed product.
Costing
PROMAN is far more affordable than imported machinery of a similar sort. Finance is the mainstay of the equipment business, without doubt – and with infrastructure projects coming up as fast as they are right now, it is only a matter of time, before lending comes back to its normalcy – these are times of precaution because of various consequences around the world, but the only way from here is forward!
Geographic presence in India
PROMAN has its presence largely in the southern parts of India and in the Western and northern regions as well
Reaction to the Central and State policies
It’s certainly a wait-and-watch situation – but some amount of respite has come about from the reduction in excise duty by about 4%. Nonetheless, as long as infrastructure is the focus of our government – other policies and impetus to the equipment industry will certainly follow.
Emerging trends and innovations
Keeping in mind the various policies to reduce global warming, it is important to understand that artificial sand is the way to go! Sand mining is already banned in one or two states in India, and it is only a matter of time that other states as well wake up to the reality and wisdom in this! Dust collectors used in the kind of machinery that PROMAN produces to make aggregate and sand, also help control pollution. At PROMAN, we are committed to a more social cause of preserving the earth for future generations to come!
PROMAN has a market share and goodwill in terms of the esteem that we command on the quality and tonnage of the aggregate or sand production – our aim and motto at PROMAN has always been-To provide innovative crushing solutions at the lowest cost per tonne!

Test & Measuring Equipments
Test & Measuring Equipments For enameled wires Tan Delta Bending Point Test:
An Important Parameter
By Pankaj Gaikwad, Sivananda Electronics
Tan Delta Bending Point Test
Tan Delta Bending point test is very important test to know the curing quality of enameled wires. It is useful test for manufacturers of enameled wires as a guideline for process control at the same time it is useful for the user Industries at Incoming quality control as it gives nearest simulation of actual application.
Manufacturers can set the process
parameters so as to produce properly cured enameled wire. In this test the small AC sinusoidal current is passed through enamel film covering & heat is applied to the specimen which may occur during actual application when this wire is used in motors, transformers and coils. From this test the user can get an idea about the temperature up-to which the dielectric losses in enamel wire will remain steady. It can be related to actual application operating temperature.
Basics about Tan Delta (The Dielectric Loss Factor)
In case of ideal capacitor when an AC sinusoidal signal is passed through it current leads voltage by 90 degrees. In practical conditions some power is lost in the dielectric material / Insulation due to which slight shift in this angle occurs.
This small angle is called delta & denoted as the loss angle.
Tan of this angle represents the loss factor in reactive material.
Tan Delta=R/Xc =CR as (Xc=1/C),=2 F
R = equivalent series resistor Xc= Capacitive reactance. F= Test Frequency
How the Capacitance is formed in enameled wires?
As shown below the while performing Tan Delta Test on enameled wire Sample is prepared on sample holder. The inner conductor acts as one plate of capacitor where as molten wood's alloy in which the sample is dipped acts as another plate of capacitor. Enamel between these two plates acts as the dielectric material in capacitor. i.e. measurement of tan delta of this capacitor is actually the measurement of Dielectric Loss Factor in Enamel Film.
The Capacitance of the sample prepared from the wires having SWG 18 to SWG 26 is generally in the range 160pF to 450 pF.
Above SWG 26 the single turn on sample holder results in capacitance less than 160pF. Hence in order to increase the sample capacitance 2/3 turns of sample are wound on the sample holder for SWG 26 & above.
The Tan Delta Test can be carried out on round enameled copper wires as well as enameled strips. The difference is only in type of sample holder & sample capacitance generally strips sample have capacitance above 640pF. The strip sample holder construction is slightly different than the wire sample holder.
Enameled wire Tan Delta depends on following factors
1. Type of Enamel used
2. Curing quality of enameled wire
Curing quality of enameled wire depends upon the speed of wire & Temperature of enameling section.
In Tan Delta measuring equipment the enameled wire Tan Delta is measured with respect to the Temperature & the graph of Tan Delta Vs Temperature is plotted , a typical Enameled wire shows following characteristic where the tan delta remain steady up-to certain temperature & after this temperature it increases rapidly .i.e .the graph actually bends at this temperature. This point of graph is called Bending Point & Temperature of this point is called Bending Point Temperature.
Enamel manufacturers generally provide the table for the bending point temperature Data for different types of enamels. Minimum & Maximum Limits. If the Bending point Result is below the Minimum limit the wire is considered as under cured wire where as above the maximum limit the wire is considered as over cured wire.
Interpretation of Results & Process Quality Control
Under cured wire: If this result is indicated it shows either the speed of wire to be reduced or enameling temperature to be increased.
Over cured wire: If this result is indicated it shows that the speed of wire to be increased or enameling temperature to be decreased.
Bending Point Limits for Different Types of Enamels
Bending Point Temperature Limits for different types of enamels with various combinations are generally specified by enamel manufacturers as follows. Minimum/ Maximum limits depends upon the various combinations.The Table provided by the enamel manufacturer is the best reference to maintain the process parameters within the limits in order to get properly cured enameled wire.
Single Point Test
If more samples to be tested in less time instead of plotting complete graph a single X,Y reference point is checked. In this method the temperature of Bath is kept constant & many samples can be checked at the set temperature for Tan Delta results. This method to be used as indicative only wherever possible the wires to be tested for Bending point.
Single Point Test & Bending Point Test
In Bending Point Test the Result is related to the Temperature where as in single point test the result is related to Tan Delta.
In other words Bending point is related to X axis where as Single Point Test is related to Y Axis.
Hence in Single point Test Higher value results indicate under-cured sample.
& in Bending point test higher value results indicate over-cured sample.
