Clean technology from Cleantek

Mr. A. Krishnamoorthy, Director, Cleantek, Coimbatore

The industry is slowly becoming conscious of health and safety of its people. And this had a telling effect on enhancing productivity,” observes Mr. A. Krishnamoorthy, Director, Cleantek. The company based in Coimbatore has been providing the enology solutions for creating a conducive work atmosphere since 2006.

Cleantek manufactures a wide array of equipment and systems for vacuum cleaning of shop floors – both dry and wet. It offers several job-rated models. Industrial vacuum cleaner was the first product it launched in 2006. “Since then we have installed over a five hundred units which continue to give peak performance in the industry,” says Mr. Krishnamoorthy. “Seventy per cent of these equipment are custom-built. We study the requirements of the customer and then design a system to suit his exacting needs,” he elucidates.

Clean air solutions for safety and productivity in the industry
Cleantek offers wide range of dust collectors. It uses micro filters / electrostatic precipitators, achieving a particle size of 0.3 microns. It also designs and supplies wood dust collectors, SAW flux recovery systems, powder / granules / food particle conveying systems which are made of SS-304 or SS-314 for better hygiene. Dust mixed with oil in engineering units is a health hazard. It can cause respiratory problems to the operators and shop floor personnel. Cleantek has devised CNC oil mist collectors to help shop floor personnel breathe easy.

Welding fumes are also a major health deterrent. They have a mixture of harmful gases which when in held can fuse breathing problems. One can get burning sensation in the eyes and even get headache. In order to address this problem, Cleantek has come up with welding fume extractors. These are both unitary and centralised to suck the fumes from the welding stations and throw out. Fume extractors are a boon to electronics and medical equipment manufacturers. Soldering fumes are far more harmful for health.

Another range of innovative products from Cleantek are oil sump cleaner. These systems collect the coolants mixed with metal chips, filter them unto 10 microns and feed them back to the sumps. This way the costly coolants can be recycled after filtering the sludge. Cleantek has supplied capacities varying from 200 to 500 litres to diverse industries including automobile.

For sewage treatment plants, Cleantek offers customised high pressure blowers and regenerative blowers to agitate water and separate the impurities. The company has supplied over 1000 blowers for specialised applications. Cleantek has an ISO-9001-2008 certified manufacturing facility equipped with the best of fabrication / production equipment.

“We need hardly 2-3 weeks to design and executive an order for any customised equipment,” says Mr. Krishnamoorthy who has a mechanical background and a rich hands-on experience in the industry.

Cleantek has an impressive list of clientele for its varied products and systems. This includes L & T, Ewac Alloys, Brakes India, Wheels India, TVS Rubber, Pricol, Tata Motors, Hyundai, Toyota Kirloskar, Bharati Shipyard, Areva, Parryware, Lakshmi Machine Works, Flowserve India, Michlen Tyres, Compton Greaves, IITs and so on.

‘Staying ahead’:
Cleantek, registering a growth rate of 50% year on year, is all set to make it big in this niche business. The company is envisaging expansion by moving to a sprawling manufacturing facility in Coimbatore itself. It will be opening branches in strategic locations to stay closer to the customer and serve him better.

Mr. Krishnamoorthy opines that greenfield facilities must provide for proper ventilation and fresh air flow in the plant at the layout stage itself.They must also make provision for sewage / effluent treatment plants to curb pollution and create an eco-friendly work atmosphere. – P.K.
