Where technology blossom
When it is time to order squeegees for screen printing operations, the first name that the textile industry thinks of is K.D.JOSHI, a family concern which was set up in Pune ( some 200 kms south of Bombay ) in 1969.
What has been the single most conspicuous feature of KDJ is its technological self -reliance. From rubber formulation to moulding and testing, every operation is based on its own innovative technology.
What is even more significant is that practically every special purpose machine required in the manufacture of squeegees and other products for the textile industry, have been designed and
build in - house at KDJ.
Naturally KDJ is now a byword for blossoming innovative, indigenous technology.
Facilities
There are three main divisions in the KDJ plant : the Materials Division, the Production Division and
the R & D Division.
The Material Division is equipped with a Laboratory and special purpose machines which prepare various types of rubber compounds for the different products which form the KDJ product line.
The production Division boasts a modern tool room with CNC machines for designing and building all the moulds required. The metal parts like aluminium squeegee handles, carriage wheels and friction rolls are precision machined at the machine shop.
The R& D Division is the greenhouse in which KDJ's innovative technology blossoms. It is equipped with an array of instruments for testing tensile strength, hardness, specific gravity, resilience, abrasion and compression set. There are also a special rubber roller runout testing equipments and the latest digital measuring instruments.
The quality of KDJ products is reflected in the excellent reputation they enjoy in the textile industry. |
