Added Polypropylene filter plates in the manufacturing range. Expertise to use hydraulic closing device developed.

A new foundry established under the name of Viral Founders  - began making quality castings at Belgaum, 500 kms away from Mumbai. New cupola furnace was installed for the purpose.

Modern machining center with the name Presswell filters started operating near Viral Founders. Modern machines such as horizontal boring, plano millers, lathes, shaping and radial drilling machine installed to develop in house capability to manufacture all machine components required for filters press.

Upgraded drawing office with CAD facility.
Upgraded testing Laboratory.
Installed pilot press facility.
All above facilities are currently at Mumbai.

Compression polypropylene molding presses designed, manufactured and installed at a new factory commissioned at Ichalkaranji, 120 kms from Belgaum to make quality filter plates.
