Our Facility
Kumars Forge & Valves P.Ltd is located in the industrial area of Chakan, a suburb of Pune district, Maharashtra. We are a well backward integrated manufacturer of flow control products which involves valves, manifolds and fittings and are equipped with a fully fledged forge shop and machining facility.
We have a well arranged stacking facility for our steel used for forgings. We understand and know how crucial traceability of raw material grade and hence a special care has been taken on the traceability of steel at every stage. Steel lot purchased for manufacturing the ordered product is first sent for chemical testing to approved laboratories. Upon confirmation of the grade steel is taken inward. (Max 48 Hours) steel bars are color coded and labeled with grade and heat code.
Forge Shop
- A fully fledged in-house Die shop with VMC & EDM for accurate and precisely controlled development of forging dies and toolings.
- We have a fully facilitated forging shop with 3 forgings lines including oil fired furnaces, hammers, induction heater, presses with a total monthly capacity of approx 500 tons per month with highly experienced team of people to handle all kind of produts.
- A well facilitated for various heat treatment process like normalizing, annealing, solution annealing, hardening, tempering etc.
Machine Shop
Our Machine shop is equipped a complete setup of CNC’s, VMC, SPilotes and Trans-Pilotes, Turning centres, milling machines, drilling, punching etc is in place for all our machining requirements. We also have the latest is technology for manufacturing the highest quality of valves. With all the facilities in-house and state of the art testing machine for conducting various tests like shell test, seat test, air test and special testing like Nitrogen and Helium testing for special application valves.
Testing Facilities
- Dimensional Inspection for dimensional conformity as per customer requirement
- For checking hardness we are equipped with Rockwell hardness tester and Brinell hardness tester.
- All the facilities for cutting, polishing and microscope to conduct analysis of the grain structure and micro structure of the raw material steel as well as finished products are available in house.
- We are well facilitated for various heat treatment processes like normalizing, annealing, solution annealing, hardening, tempering etc.
- Ultrasonic test is conducted on steel and forgings to check for any internal crack and defects.
- MPI for surface crack checking is also in house.
- Upset test is conducted before starting full fledged forging process to detect the internal seam cracks that can be present in the steel bars.
- Acid Picking is conducted for detecting all the possible surface defects that are made visible by this test.
- Approved labs provide facility for tensile and stress and strain analysis.
- Spectra & PMI is conducted on the raw material to confirm their actual chemistry and constitution of the raw material used for production.
