Heavy Machinery & Automated Production Equipment
BTPS’s Belagavi plant integrates specialized heavy machinery engineered for continuous high-precision blanking, forming, welding, heat treatment, and surface metallizing.
Automated Hydraulic Deep Drawing & Blanking Presses
High-tonnage hydraulic presses execute precision blanking and deep-drawing of JSW prime steel sheets (IS 6240 / IS 15914) into seamless cylinder cups with uniform 4.0mm to 5.6mm wall thickness.
Automated SAW & MIG Circumferential Welding Stations
Precision Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) and automated MIG seaming systems deliver zero-porosity circumferential joints compliant with strict radiographic inspection standards.
Computer-Controlled Batch Normalizing Furnaces
Computerized thermal normalizing batch furnaces execute programmed heating and cooling cycles to relieve residual forming stresses and restore JSW steel grain ductility.
Monolithic Porous Mass Ovens & Zinc Metallizing
Features specialized baking ovens for calcium silicate porous mass (90–92% porosity) and automated grit blasting stations with 40-micron thermal zinc metallizing applicators.
