KRN Alloys enhances metal powder quality and reduces processing time with Finex Ultima™
KRN Alloys, India’s fourth-largest supplier of metal powder, has improved its production process and product quality by integrating the Finex Ultima™. Headquartered in Rajkot, the company is a key part of the KRN Group, which operates two steel plants with a combined output of 30,000 metric tons per month. KRN Alloys produces both ferrous and non-ferrous metal powders, accounting for 18% of India’s total metal powder production.
Serving diverse industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, paints, diamond tools, textiles, and medical devices, KRN Alloys operates three dedicated production lines for ferrous, non-ferrous, and special alloy powders. Screening plays a vital role in ensuring the powders meet the specific size requirements of each customer.
Previously, the company faced challenges with its screening equipment, as significant amounts of powder were classified as oversize, requiring frequent reprocessing. This not only increased production lead times but also affected overall efficiency.
After consulting with Russell Finex, KRN Alloys implemented the Finex Ultima™ in its ferrous powder production line. This advanced screening system allows powders to be graded into up to five particle size fractions in a single pass. The result has been a substantial increase in throughput and a significant reduction in the need for reprocessing.
“Russell Finex provides something different from the rest of the market. In addition to the after-sales service, they’ve helped our staff through the learning curve of using screening technology. Every quarter or every month, Russell Finex organises some hands-on experience or practical training at its technical center.” - Rakesh Chandekar, Business Head
