From being a staple diet of the Italians, to becoming one of the fastest growing processed foods in the world, pasta is seeing a growth in production by better technology thus providing economies of scale to clients

India, having quality wheat production, has evolved naturally as an attractive pasta production house with companies naturally bending towards forward integration and big boxes churning better marketing tools to promote pasta in India.

Pasta production can be split into Fresh pasta and Dried Pasta. Where fresh pasta sees a slow to no growth in India, dried pasta in form of short cut and long cut pasta is seeing a array of products in the consumer and wholesale market in India.

The Indian Bakery Industry has seen a whirl wind of change in the past decade. From, consumers resorting to sliced bread, buns and the occasional cakes and pastries to a growing demand for a variety of sweet and savoury baked products - fresh and packaged. The one key is in the innovation - the Indian palate, the other key is bringing in the western philosophies of bakery production.

The bakery industry is also seeing a growing trend in traditional artisan breads of India in packaged and frozen form. Time constraints have reduced desires to cook fresh. Consumers are constantly looking for the freshest and the closest options on store counters for their artisanal favourites.

Dairy farmers and milk producers can add value to their milk by processing and marketing their own label products, such as cheeses, yogurt, butter, ice cream, Lactose, Proteins,Tetra pack milk, Milkshakes, Indian sweet meals, Khoya paneer, Indian dairy products and farm-bottled milk.

Many consumers are willing to pay a premium for locally produced, high-quality, farmstead dairy products; organic certification may further enhance the market potential.

Diversify your product and the market is yours this punch line has been the secret of any Industry. In case of food industry the diversification of the product with respect to the target market has to be without affecting the healthiness of the product and aspect of cost.

Under the point of equipment and process, Pavan has always succeeded and till date have continued to satisfy its clients by serving the world's best technology when it comes to Food Processing Technology. Just as the tag line goes "Technology to feed a growing world" Pavan has truly stood by it and continues to do so.

Compo C/BB/K brake block is a rigid moulded friction material, grey-black in colour, having a random fibre asbestos base and containing metallic particles. It is manufactured only in the form of brake blocks, integrally moulded to a back plate. This material was originally developed to have the ability to withstand the heavy braking demands of Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) stock, operating suburban passenger services. Its use has since been extended to a range of duties from low speed shunting locomotives to high speed passenger trains.

HCL manufactures rigid moulded and woven friction sheets with and without wire reinforcement or metallic inclusions. These are used as segments in industrial clutches, marine gearbox clutches, tractor steering clutches, power press clutches, industrial brakes and other general engineering requirements in shipping, mining, port related and other industries.

Industrial woven and flexible roll linings with and without wire reinforcement in various thickness and lengths are another speciality of HCL. Their applications are in segments or as band brakes in elevators, cranes, winches, hoists, drop hammers, concrete mixers, heavy earth moving equipment and in dry and oil immersed conditions.

This is a versatile thermal insulation and heat resistant material produced in sheet form using good quality fibres incombustible fillers and vegetable binders. It dose not suffer loss of strength upto 485°C. When suitably supported the board can be used satisfactorily at extreme temperatures upto approx. 1400°C.

The heat resistant discs are made from materials containing a higher percentage and a small quantity of organic binder, to withstand the application temperature exceeding 1000C.

 Service

Recommended for making up a solid block of supporting internal and external rollers in steel & glass plants. The discs possess adequate physical strength to withstand the machining operations to achieve a mirror finish.

Compestos

Asbestos laminated sheets are moulded from asbestos cloth with thermosetting resins and are specially developed for engineering applications. The high content of asbestos, superior grade of binder and special press-curing techniques impart high degree of mechanical strength. These materials are hard wearing, heat resistant and unaffected by a wide range of chemicals and solvents.

 Special Characteristics

Compestos  materials do not require specials lubricants. They are compatible with water emulsions, many chemicals and normal lubricating oils, grease, compounds, molybdenum di-sulphide paste etc.

Compestos materials are characterised by the following outstanding properties

Excellent dimensional stability

Good wear and chemical resistance

Low moisture absorption

Very high strength to weight ratio

High temperature resistance

High impact resistance

Excellent irradiation characteristics

Impervious to effects of moisture of marine exposure
