Blacksmith, an Ahmedabad-based machine manufacturer for woven bag conversion, showcased its innovations at Hiplex 2023 show in Hyderabad from 4 to 7 August. The company displayed its high-speed T-type BCS, TBCS 850 that can produce 70 bags per minute, and a 6-color and 8-color flexographic printing machine without cylinder change.
“Where other companies are providing machines with a capacity of 30 to 40 bags per minute, we provide our customers this machine that has a capacity of 70 bags per minute. The flexographic printing machine is the first-of-its-kind in India,” said Deven Mehta, CSO, Blacksmith.
Boasting a 100% repeat customer ratio, Blacksmith claims to provide European equivalent technology at a reasonable price. The company fully focuses on the raffia industry, and says its machines are worth its money.
Hiplex, which provides a platform for networking, learning, and discovering the latest developments in the industry, proved to be an ideal place for Blacksmith to meet its existing and prospective customers. “As expected, at the exhibition, we were able to spread our brand awareness and educate people about the new technology that we are providing to our customers. We booked some significant orders during the show,” Mehta said.
Mehta says it is a win-win situation for processors as well as machine and raw material suppliers as the exhibition allows exploring new technology and innovation to decide the future of business.
With an aim to remain ahead of competition by providing multi-class technology and machines, Mehta says Blacksmith works with only one philosophy and that is to solve customer problems. “Every year, we plan to launch new machines with new features that are not available in India.”
