Development, Engineering, Manufacturing & Supply of Special Equipment

Beyond consultancy, FTS designs, engineers and manufactures special-purpose industrial equipment in-house — with 25+ special equipment supplies delivered — and provides vendor-neutral procurement support for equipment sourced from certified manufacturers.

One of Three Core Service Pillars

Equipment Development & Supply sits alongside Engineering Services and Project Management Services as one of FTS's three core service pillars — covering development, design and manufacturing of special equipment, plus procurement and supply.

01

Development & Design

Our R&D and mechanical engineering teams develop and design special equipment in-house — from first concept through detailed engineering — targeting the specific process duty the equipment must perform.

02

In-House Manufacturing

Equipment is manufactured to specification with rigorous quality control, drawing on FTS's engineering excellence across mechanical, structural, and process disciplines.

03

Procurement & Supply

Where a client's requirement calls for sourced components alongside FTS-built equipment, our procurement team manages sourcing, inspection, and supply end-to-end.

Products Designed & Manufactured

Special Equipment Engineered by FTS

Four flagship pieces of special equipment developed, manufactured and supplied by FTS's own engineering teams — each built to solve a specific, demanding process requirement in the steel and foundry industries.

Centrifugal Casting Machine (CCM)
First in India

Centrifugal Casting Machine (CCM)

DI Pipe Manufacturing Line

The first machine of its kind built in India. The CCM replaces technology that Indian pipe manufacturers previously had to import, giving domestic production plants a world-class casting capability.

Significantly reduces dependence on imported casting technology
Precision engineering for consistent wall-thickness control
Custom-engineered to client capacity and product-mix requirements
On-site commissioning and post-commissioning technical support
Hot Metal Transfer Ladle
80-Ton Capacity

Hot Metal Transfer Ladle

80 Tons

Engineered for continuous use in BOF/EAF steelmaking environments.

Withstands thermal cycling in steelmaking environments
Shell fabricated from structural steel with precision tolerances
Trunnion and tilting-gear designed for safe ladle rotation
Proven across integrated steel plants and EAF-based mini-mills
Vibratory Charger
50-Ton Capacity

Vibratory Charger

50 Tons

Ensures consistent, controlled charging of scrap or DRI into induction and EAF furnaces.

Reduces manual handling in the furnace charging area
Variable vibration frequency adapts to different scrap grades
Robust structural design for high-temperature proximity
PLC-controlled for semi-automated operation
Poker System
20-Ton Furnace Duty

Poker System

20-Ton Induction Furnace

Addresses the critical safety and efficiency challenge of scrap bridging in induction furnaces.

Eliminates hazardous manual poking by operators
Hydraulically controlled for precise force application
Remote operation from a safe distance outside the furnace zone
Interchangeable poker tips for different furnace and scrap configurations
R&D Leadership

Pioneering Import Substitution Under Make in India

Our mission is to reduce industry's dependence on imported technologies — designing and manufacturing critical equipment in India, for India, without compromising on reliability, affordability, or long-term value.

"We've pioneered import substitution under Make in India, exemplified by our customer-friendly Centrifugal Casting Machine (CCM) for DI pipe manufacturing, which replaces foreign technologies."
