Mumbai, Aug 8 (KNN) Dave Technical Services has won the 4th National Award for Technology Innovation in Petrochemical and Downstream Plastics Processing Industry for its ‘Mini Blow Twin Station Form-Fill-Seal (FFS) Machine’ in the Industry category of Innovation of Polymer processing Machinery and Equipment.

The award was presented to Proprietor of Dave Technical Services, Niranjan C Dave by Minister for Chemicals and Fertilizers, Government of India, Ananthkumar and Minister of State for Chemicals and Fertilizers, Nihal Chand at an award function in New Delhi recently.

The Awards were conferred by the Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals, Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, Government of India for technology innovation in the fields of polymeric material, polymeric products, polymer processing machinery and equipment, polymer waste management and recycling technology, green polymeric materials and products, polymers in agriculture and water conservation, polymers in public health care and research in the field of polymer science and technology.  The award consisted of a shield, a citation and a cash prize to the winners. The award for the runners up consists of a shield and a citation. 

Dave, an engineer by profession has to his credit over 42 years of experience in field of plastic machines, products and material processing. He started his career in the early 70’s as a service engineer. Plastic was newly introduced in India then; so most of his learning on subject was through books, seminars and personal interaction with customers and industry people.

Dave Technical Services are manufacturers of plastic blow molding and injection molding machines, moulds and product developments based in Mumbai since 1982.
From the beginning, Dave had a vision of providing low cost - effective and efficient plastic machine to entrepreneurs to promote industry development and self-employment in rural-urban areas of our country. Fulfilling his dream he has developed a wide range of mini models (compact) blow and injection moulding machines, running commercially. Emphasizing on educational demonstration and practical working for young students in colleges, compact machines models were also developed.

The awarded blow moulding technology offers for the first time in the world unique flexibility of producing two different products of two different materials (polymers) having different shapes, size and thickness as required simultaneously at the same time on same machine. Even two products with different colours can be produced concurrently on this machine as required. The machine also offers the optional choice of getting filling and sealing arrangement on the machine. The machine can process polymers like LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, Polypropylene, PS, HIPS, EVA, TPE others.

the patent protected blow moulding machine model is specially developed keeping in mind the customer’s requirement of low power consumption and smallest floor space utilization, providing efficiency, convenience and high productivity (profitability) with suitability to install in rural areas too working on single phase power.

Earlier, Dave Technical Services has been awarded PLASTICON Award in 2005 in winners category for developing compact fully auto, pneumatic blow moulding machine, operating on single phase and air (no motor in machine) for commercial production, training in colleges and adapted to run in rural areas too.

Dave Technical Services also received recognition of excellence in the category of machinery for package conversion, 2010 from IPMMI for mini blow and compact injection moulding machines.  (KNN/ES)
