In what ways can energy-efficient industrial vibration solutions contribute to environmentally responsible practices in construction and infrastructure projects?

OLI’s range of Vibro-Motors is engineered for power efficiency, particularly in heavy-duty and continuous operations. The R&D and Technology Department at OLI plays a crucial role in creating Vibro- motors that are both user-friendly and environmentally friendly, suitable for demanding construction and industrial applications. Our Engineering Department has developed Vibro- Motors with a robust design, using premium quality materials such as special roller bearings, lifetime grease, low-loss lamination stacks, and double- impregnated windings. These design choices facilitate easier operation, reduce breakdowns, prevent grease spillage, and ensure the motors operate within acceptable noise levels, aligning with permissible decibel parameters.

What trends in infrastructure and construction can OLI Vibrators share, particularly regarding Vibro-Motors?

The use of vibrators in India is still at a relatively nascent stage compared to the developed countries. Hence, we see a steady increase in the use of vibrators in the Indian industries. Secondly, India’s infrastructure development spending is increasing in the government budgets of both the federal and central governments. This will pave the way for steady growth in the Indian Vibration Industry, and we are quite optimistic about OLI’s future growth.

Working sincerely and seriously on the upcoming Bullet train projects/ Metro-Rail projects/ Highways /Airways, etc., and bringing new ideas and developments in the existing products, making it more and more user-friendly and easy to operate.
