COMPANY PROFILERANE ENGINE VALVES Ltd,.

• Incepted in 1959 to manufacture valves and valve train components for various engine applications

• Latest manufacturing practices to keep abreast of technological advancements

• Caters to every section of the auto industry through four manufacturing plants

• Cutting edge technology• Market leaders in range of products-Engine valves,

Valve Guide and Tappets.• Clientele spread across Europe, North America and the

Far Eastern markets including the best known brands such as Volkswagen, Deutz and Yamaha

MANUFACTURING

• 5 plants located in Chennai, Hyderabad & Trichy manufacture engine valves, valve guides and tappets.

• Plant 1 (Chennai) - Engine Valves

• Plant 2 (Hyderabad) - Engine Valves

• Plant 3 (Chennai) - Guides & Tappets

• Plant 4 (Hyderabad) - Engine Valves

• Plant 5 (Trichy) - Engine Valves

DEFINITION OF PROBLEM

• The equipment for production of Engine Valves is not fully utilized due to practical difficulties over the material handling devices.

• Analysis for Automation feasibility is expensive or inexpensive.

REASON WHY WE CHOSEN

• As we have to design a handling device for loading cum unloading the valves from die to increase the utilization of equipment efficiency and also production rate.

• we have chosen this project because its related to production area in which we are very much interested and also a challenging real time industrial project.

OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE

• Objective: To increase the production rate of valves by introducing Twin Die Forging Concept with handling device.

• Scope: By implementing this concept nearly production rate can be doubled.
