Industrial Drives & Automation
Optimizing Material Handling with Automated Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors
JK Fenner transformed a conventional Vertical Reciprocating Conveyor (VRC) into a safer, more efficient material handling system through PLC, Hybrid HMI, and P2 VFD automation. The upgrade enabled precise floor-level positioning, integrated safety interlocks, and smoother operation, reducing lifting cycle time by over 18% and energy consumption by 35%.
Powertrain Hybrid X-Panel: Optimizing Industrial Storage and Retrieval
JK Fenner implemented the Powertrain Hybrid X-Panel for Dell, Chennai’s vertical storage system, integrating PLC, HMI, and VFD functionality to streamline automated material retrieval. The solution enables faster retrieval through optimized rotation, smoother and quieter operation, improved space utilization, and more reliable system control, while reducing panel space and supporting third-party software integration.

Maximizing Waste Recovery in Steel Mill Scale Briquetting
JK Fenner supported a steel manufacturing facility in improving mill scale waste recovery by implementing high-speed couplings in a briquetting plant. The solution compacted waste into reusable briquettes, achieving up to a 20:1 volume reduction, reducing disposal costs and raw steel consumption, and improving workspace safety and overall steelmaking efficiency.
Enhancing Material Flow with Customized Vibro-Motor Applications
JK Fenner optimized manganese ore feeding at a mining facility by installing an FVM 50/10 Vibromotor at a customized 10-degree inclination. The solution improved vibration performance under heavy loads of 1.4–1.8 MT, ensuring smoother material flow and better operational efficiency while securing repeat business and orders for higher-capacity models.
Custom Wire Rope Pulley Development for Steel Plant Wagon Loaders
JK Fenner partnered with Tata Steel, Jamshedpur, to develop a customized wire rope pulley assembly for steel plant wagon loaders, addressing recurring pulley downtime and the lack of standard engineering designs. Through application-specific design, 3D modelling, and precision engineering, JK Fenner successfully delivered a complete assembly with a stand, bearing, and end-cover, earning repeat orders and strengthening customer trust.
Optimizing Pre-Heater Fan Performance with Limit Float Couplings
JK Fenner partnered with Dalmia Cement Ltd. to address excessive axial vibration in a Reitz pre-heater fan by installing a customized Limit Float Pin Bush Coupling. The solution controlled shaft end float, maintained motor rotor alignment, and reduced vibration to safe levels below 4 mm/sec across horizontal, vertical, and axial planes, ensuring smoother and more reliable operations.
