KYB Conmat has been using bauma CONEXPO India (bC India) for exhibiting an array of offerings over the years and this edition,the company has rolled out three new products, says Managing Director and Chairman, Prem Raj Keshyep.

Brief us about the product range exhibited at the expo.
There is a full range of batching plant right from 20 cu.m mobile batching plant to 40 cu.m tower plant. The most important product is our tower plant. There is lot of pollution problem and government is taking lot of steps to remove batching plant from the city environment and to move it outside. Thus, we have developed this plant especially for city and it can be installed in a very small footprint like 9m-9m. Everything is enclosed such as the concrete transportation and aggregates transportation. So, it’s a dust-free installation and operation. There are two advantages – one is small requirement of space and second is eco-friendliness. These are two important hallmarks of this product. Since it is a direct loading and direct pouring batching plant, it consumes very low power as compared to traditional plants. We expect that this model will be a success in all the big cities.

Additionally, we have launched compact mobile plant for transit mixer loading application. It is just 9-m to 2-m loading plant and you don’t require a ramp for loading. We also expect that this plant will also be a hit in the market. We have also launched a fully mobile plant with belt conveyor. It can be transported very easily from one site to other site and the setting-up time is hardly half a day and you don’t require a foundation. With this, we now have the biggest concrete productive range in India.

How is 2018 for your business in terms of product performance?
Every year is good for us. We have been continuously growing at 50 per cent year-on-year growth for the last nine years. This year is no exception. We have been growing and expect to grow further with our new models. KYB Conmat has always been at the forefront of technology; we have been introducing high-efficient machines in terms of power usage, performance, efficiency and quality. We were the first in India to launch twin shaft batching plant. With that, we have set a trend in the market to go in for technologically advanced products. Customers are satisfied demanding more efficient product.

What are the business prospects for 2019?
I believe 2019 is going to be a good year because of the products under construction in the second phase of development planned by government. While we expect infrastructure boom to continue irrespective of the government that comes in, focus will shift from bigger plant to middle-range plant.m

We are proud that we always set a trend in terms of technology and efficiency.
