PROMOTION
ABSTRACT
This Pumps presents how marketing concepts and tools may be applied in
investment appraisal studies. The marketing evaluation process begins with a
description of the project concept based on the market need the project aims to
satisfy. This aids the definition of the project's relevant market and leads to an
analysis of the market. The market consists of customers and competing suppliers.
The project must try and match its potential capabilities to existing and potential
customer needs. In doing this, the project gains competitive edge and maximizes
potential performance.
Market performance is a measure of the project's ability to satisfy the key
market need factors within its defined target market. The Pumps shows how a project
analyst may evaluate a project's market performance. Such a measure may be used
as an indicator of competitiveness by which to project market expansion and market
share estimates. In economic analysis a market expansion, is an outward shift in the
demand curve, and takes place when a project achieves a competitiveness rating
higher than the level of other market competitors.
CHAPTER-I
INTRODUCTION
One of the most difficult marketing decisions facing companies is how much to
spend on promotional John Wanamaker, the departmental - store magazine, said, "I
know that half of my advertising is wasted but I don't know which half."
Thus it is not surprising that industries and companies vary considerably in how
much they spend on promotion. Promotional expenditures might amount to 30-50%
of sales in case in cosmetics industry and only 10-20% in the industrial equipment
industry. Within a industry, a low and high spending companies can be found.
How do companies decide on their promotion budget? There are mainly four
methods of sales promotion:
Affordable Method:
Many companies set the promotion budget at what they think the company can
afford. One executive explained this method as follows: "Why, its simple. First I go
upstairs to the controller and how much they can afford to give us this year. He says
a million and half. Later, the boss comes to me and asks how much we should spend
and I say Oh about a million and half."
It is a method which is uncertain one and makes long term planning difficult.
Percentage of Sales Method:
In this a specified sales percentage is decided for the promotional budget Advantages
of this method:
First, its use means that promotional budget vary with what a company can afford.
Third, it encourages the competitive stability to the extent that competing firms
spend approximately the same % of their sales on promotion.
Inspite of the advantages, the % sales method has little to justify it. Its reasoning is
circular: It views sales as the determiner of the promotion rather than as a result. It
leads to budget setting by availability of funds rather than by marketing
opportunities.
Competitive Parity Method:
Some companies set their promotional budget to achieve share-of-voice parity with
other competitors. Two arguments are made in support of competitive parity method.
One is that the competitors expenditure represents the collective wisdom of the
industry. The other is that maintaining a competitive parity helps prevent
promotional wars.
Neither argument is valid. There are no grounds for believing that competition
knows better what should be spent on promotion.
The objective & task method calls upon marketers to develop their promotion
budgets by defining their specific objectives, determining the task that must be
performed to achieve these objectives, and estimating the cost of performing these
tasks.
Companies face the task of distributing the total promotion budget over the five
promotional tools:
Advertising
Sales Promotion
Sales Force
Direct Marketing.
Whatever method a company adopt for promoting its product it must be from above
mentioned method.
Promotion is the final element in the marketing mix. After the nature of
product is decided, its price fixed and the methods of distribution decided, the
manufactures has to take effective steps in meeting the consumers in the markets. In
the present consumer oriented markets it is the duty of manufacturers to know what
is required by the consumer. It is also their duty to make the customers know where,
when how and at what prices. The products would be available.
Meaning of Promotion
The term promotion is the term and includes mainly three type of sales activity :
3. Activities other than personal selling and advertising such as point of purchase
display (P.O.P.) show and exhibitions, demonstrations and other non securing selling
efforts. This form of activity is called Sales Promotion.
1. Pull Blend.
2. Push Blend.
A push blend emphasizes personal selling. Naturally firms adopting this method
develop a strong sales force at both the distributor and the dealer level. This method
would tends to push the product through the channel of distribution.
The term promotion is very often used as a synonym for selling. But selling is a
narrow term which includes only transfer of title or personal selling. Promotion on
the other hand is broader in its outlook and includes a variety of activities used
ultimately for increasing sales volume.
Similarly the terms sales promotion cannot be taken to mean what is commonly does.
Sales promotion, is only a part of the promotion. Basically promotion is an
"exercise" in information persecution and influence. Promotion has come to mean
the overall co-ordination of advertising selling, publicity and public relations.
Promotion is a helping function designed to make all other marketing activities more
effective and efficient. But sales promotion as such helps only the selling activity
still, there exit same difference of opinion on the real connection of the term sales
promotion.
Acc. to A.H.R. Delons:-
"Sales promotion means any step that are taken for the purpose of obtaining or
increasing sales".
"Muddled misused misunderstood that is sales promotion Acc. to him the field of
sales promotion as a marketing activity is still vaguely defined and organized.
The advertising material prepared by the company such as store signs, banners, shelf
signs, board etc. are distributed to sub dealer for display purposes this is in fact a
method of advertising.
(ii) Store Demonstration:-
In the promises of the wholesaler or the retailer the products sales personnel will
conduct special demonstration for the companies product. A personal demonstration
is good to introduce a new product at its peculiar advantage can be high lightened
and the consumers doubt clear. It can be used to re stimulate an old product. A good
demonstration with a great dealer of action will draw heavy crowds in to the store
and will attract attention to the product.
These are in seasonal in character but could be arranged in an elaborate manner and
for all the products of a company. Usually these are arranged along with trade fair
and exhibition. Besides effecting sales these shows impress the companys name
generally on the public.
These are given directly to the consumer these coupons are in most cases kept inside
the package. The consumers many receive a price reduction of the stated values of
the coupon at the time of purchase. The retailer receives reimbursement for the value
of the coupon form the manufacturer. Coupons act as a short run stimulus to the sale
of the product, since they are directly tied with the purchase of the item. They
encourage the retailer to stock the product.
What is important is that a coupon offer does not spoil the named price of the brand
nor does it un pair the margin of the dealers. But it is not easy to measure the
effectiveness of a coupon offer. One over knows how many customer would have
bought the product without the incentive. It is also difficult to find out how many
customers were held after the coupon offer expired.
This offer is intended to stimulate the sales during a slump season. In this method
the customer is offered a reduction from the printed price list. It is also used when a
substitute for competing product enters the market.
Many experts on sales promotion fed that Off Schemes are among the weaker and
less desirable methods of promotion. These can be trade resentment particularly
when the retailer raises the price to retain his margin. Secondly that is not conductive
to building up brand loyalty. Consumers may simply shift to the products that offer
this scheme.
3. Samples:-
In the hope of converting a prospect into a customer a sample (Some quantity of the
product) may be given. This helps the consumer to verify the real quality of the
product. Various pair manufacturing companies offer this method. For developing
brand loyalty this method is quite useful. Sampling is a fast method of demand
creation because one knows the result as soon as the consumer has had time to use
the sample and buy the brand.
Disadvantage of Sampler:-
Offering sample in quit expensive. There is the cost of producing samples. The
distribution costs are also high. Sample have to be mailed to potential customers or
to be distributed through retail shops. There are also problems when the real product
does not resemble the sample supplied.
4. Money Refund Offer:-
An offer usually stated on the package is that manufacturers will return with in a
stated period part or all of the purchasers money if he is not completely satisfied
with the product.
5. Trading Stamps:-
A premium in the form of stamps is given by the sellers to consumers while selling
goods. The number and value of stamp that the buyer receives depends on the values
of the purchase. These stamps are redeemable through premium catalogues at the
stamp redemption centres.
6. Buy-Back Allowance:
This an allowance following a previous trade deal not offer a certain amount of
money for new purchases based on the quantity of purchases on the first trade deal.
It extends the life of a trade deal and helps to prevent part deal sales decline. It greatly
strengthens the buyers motivation to co-operate on the first deal.
7. Premium:-
(b) Factory in pack premium these are popular in the case of Body food and Tin food
items, Spoons, Cups, Measuring, Glass etc. and such other items are packed with the
product in the box itself. Factory in pack premium are particularly goods for product
meant for children. The Binaca Toothpaste packs contain animal shape toys. These
are very attractive and qutie popular among the children.
(c) Self Liquidating Premiums:-
The cost of the premium is collected from the buyer himself. But when the buyers
pays for it he has to pay only a considerably low price for the premium. This is
possible for the manufacturer purchases the items in bulk at a premium and his cost
per unit as is substantially low.
Often this service is reciprocal the manufacturer may acquaint his dealer with the
fact relating to his production and prices while the dealer may familiarize him in
return with the information bearing on charges in the consumer's demand, their like
and dislike complaints and criticism, substitutes etc.
The gestures of regard and respect pave the way for better relation and co-operation.
Goods are produced for market. Manufacturers have to make efforts to sell all they
produce. When the manufacturers uses various sales efforts to obtain increased sales
volume for his product it is called aggressive selling or offensive selling. The sales
efforts which a manufacturer makes to retain his customers i.e. to protect his already
established market against against his competitors is termed as defensive selling. In
contrast to this aggressive selling is concerned with the sales efforts made with the
express objective of selling more by expanding the market for the product of the
selling firm.
Aggressive selling is based on the answer to the question how much does the firm
gain (in term of sales with profit) by using this method defensive selling is based on
consideration as to how much the firm will lose if it does not use this method increase
of sales can be obtained from two sources:-
2. From the competitors i.e. those consumers who were purchasing similar product
of competition firms, if the market for the product is static.
Acc. to H. Whitehead:-
"In case of an expanding market all the firm may stand to gain by following the
methods of aggressive selling but if the market is static manufacturer of a new
market will have to be much more aggressive to capture the established market of
competitors".
When Aggressive selling is resorted?
3. When the total market for the product or line of product to expanding.
5. If the manufacturer has unused production capacity with heavy investment in plant
and equipment he will like to develop the demand for his product rapidly so that
demand for his product is equal to the optimum production capacity of his plant ;
and
6. When primary demand for a product must be created and provision must be made
in the channel of distribution to educate consumers regarding the new product and
to instruct them in its use.
Sales promotion efforts use for aggressive selling may be divided in two classes.
1. Trade Promotion.
2. Consumer Promotion.
1. Trade Promotion:-
Under trade promotion methods special incentives are offered to the trader to buy
products of the firm. Such incentive may take one or more of the following firm :-
Instead of giving any cash allowance extra product is given with each unit of product
ordered. For instance if a box normally contains 20 Cakes of Soap, special box
contains 25 cakes may be made and sold at the same price as that of the box of 20
cakes.
(c) Gifts:-
2. Consumer Promotion:-
Under consumer promotion method special incentives are offered to the consumers
to buy the firms product. The more prominent amongst such incentives are as
following.
(a) Coupons:-
A coupon of a giving value is sent to the consumer. By presenting this coupon to the
retailer consumers can purchase a particular product mentioned on the coupon at a
reduced price. The retailer sells the products mentioned. In the coupon to such
consumer (consumers presenting the coupons) under an agreement with the
manufacturer at a price lower than the user retail price. Thus the consumer get the
benefit of reduced price to the extent of the value of the coupons.
Under this system, the firm offers an article at an attracting price if the consumer
send a given sum of money accompanied by a given number of box tops from the
packages of a particular product the benefit to the consumer is that he receives the
articles at a bargain price.
Under this system a product is sold at a reduced price for a short period Bargain pack
method encourages new consumers to try the product. It is also helpful in obtaining
large displays in the shops.
(d) Sampling:-
The method involves giving the product or a small quantity of the product to a
consumer free with the hope that the customer will be favorable impressed with its
actual use and will eventually become a regular purchaser of the product.
A firm selling new product or an extensively improved product finds this methods
useful. Also a firm whose market is hold by competitors whose free sampling almost
expensive.
(ii) Instead of using wholesalers, the firm may develop its own sales force to call
directly on retailers.
(iv) New territory exploitation sales promotion has a particularly important role in
developing the companys product in new territories.
In fact, an ingenious sales manager can devise any number of incentives schemes
for promoting the sales volume.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The major objective of the research is to and out the market potential of
century industries product line. This will help to know that what are the prospective
of century as a whole & will also give an idea about its credibility, customer's point
of view & stability, apart from all these it will help me to analyze the upcoming

Through this knowledge about the verities of products & their demand in the
scenario can be identied. To study the various promotional offers which are offered
by the Century Pulp and Pumps Industry to its various dealers and industrial buyers
so that much effort towards the promotion of their product is done.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The scope of market study of Siva Pumps Pvt Ltd. It has helped to provide a
knowledge about the market trend demands & consumption patterns. Future
prospects in tens of potential growth. Consumer taste & buying behavior for the CPP
product & other aspects related to channel & network i.e. -distribution. At the same
time some bottlenecks & loopholes in the entire process could also be taken into
consideration for the solutions as well as betterments also the following few aspects
could be taken care off through this research study;
Adjudge the relationships & association among the dealer & company: This is
mainly related to the intet' relationships on which the company has a bond with the
various buyers so that a smooth and Co-ordial relationship exists between them
Identifying those attributes on the basis of which the dealer xlects the products of
CPP:
This is mainly concerned with the preferences which the compute offers to its buyers
in terms of discount or attractive hampers which they receive on the fulfillment of
its targets that it has to cater.
Popularity of company products among customers: This refers to the image which
the company has been able to create among its esteemed customers and buyers
through its enormous quality services that they are able to provide. Customer
satisfaction is one of the most important priorities as it is the foundation for the
growth of a strong industrial unit.lt also helps to build up its brand image among its
competitors that operates in the market.
To analyze the order quoted by the dealer & its fulllment made by the company:
This refers to the features which are required by the dealers in the products which
they purchase from the company. They also see whether the requirements quoted by
them to the company have
LIMITATIONS:
The responses may be biased as some of the respondents may not have revealed the
true pictures.
The Company officials also too tend to give biased answers as they always want to
give a rosy picture of their company product lite company workers were reluctant
to give information about the product.
The sample was restricted to the Century Pulp and Pumps Industry.
This project was limited to a span of two and a half months and so had to restrict it
to opening areas of Uttaranchal.
Due to money constraints the study was restricted to a sample of S0 dealers and
buyers.
RESEARCH DESIGN
Research design has been done by carrying out surveys and lling up of
questionnaires by the buyers and dealers. This was mainly an explanatory son of a
research so that the idea behind the project can be carried out. The research was
carried on by judgmental sampling and snow ball sampling as well as the population
to be studied is difficult to if some members are thought to be better (more
knowledgeable. more willing. etc.) than others to interview. Relying on the judgment
of some knowledgeable experts may be far more productive in identifying potential
interviewees than trying to develop a list of the population in order to randomly
select a small number.
Sampling Size 100 as to conduct the study on market & distribution network
system of some regions of Uttarakhand were selected. And also sample size taken
is 100(in all) (retailers+ dealers).who resided in Delhi.
SAMPLING TECHNIQUE:
Snow ball sampling has been used for the purpose of studying the dealers and
retailers as it helped in locating the dealers who were presently engaged in the sales
of Pumps products.
Convenient sampling method was used for dealers in distant places as accessibility
emerged as a problem in these locations.
DATA SOURCE:
These are the first hand information collected via some source or through
observation. The primary data may be collected through conducting any survey.
Interviewing sample units directly through questioners. or conducting a telephonic
or electronic survey.

REVIEW OF LICTUARE:
1) By Engel Cynthia: Taking Note Of Pumps Industry: Vol 120, 1997: Consumer
participation in recycling. Improvements in technology. Increased consumption of
Pumps products, and liberalization of international trade together have had an
enonnous inuence on employment on Pumps related industries this is having a great
impudence on the economic prosperity of the country. With the rise of awareness
among people and spread of knowledge among the masses. This industry has been a
driving force. Demand by consumers and buyers on buying pattern are affected by
the governmental rules and regulations also. These factors have led to an exorbitant
increase in the prices of Pumps products. lt has thus made it costly, but necessary
investments in new equipments have led to a major change in its structure.....
3) Pumps based Industry: December 08,20l0: This report provides by that and
concise analyses presents a comparative analysis for the development of their
articles of Pumps industry in provincial regime and 20 major cities in visualized
form.
This report says that the investment in these sectors is growing am hence more
el'l'or1 should be laid in this field. Thus keeping in mind the bright prospect of this
sector mac investment haw been said so that this contributes to the gap of the
country. Roddy Elander M, Roddy Anji M, Jayachandra K: The IUP Journal On
Environmental Science Vol IV No 3: August 2010: tells about a protected forest and
implementing management for the protection of the forest because this is the base
for the Pumps industry.
This is utmost essential for the supply of raw materials to the paper industry .This
source is where one has to be very careful for the survival of its related industries
too. The forest has always been a major source of employment for many people
related to the Pumps industry.
Gourville T John and Soman Dilip: Extremes Seeking when and why buyers or
consumers prefer Extremes: May 31 2007: When can variety be harmful and when
can it be helpful? Conventional wisdom suggests that a product provider enhances
the overall alterative of a set o options by adding more alternatives to the By contrast
.
Gurville and Soman's research indicates tint in certain predictable cases. adding
more alterative to an assortment leads buyers to choose either the most basic or the
most fully loaded product.
Thus when a dealer or a buyer has to buy a bulk of Pumps rolls from the industry the
go on analyzing on the quality and the promotional offers which they are given by
the different sellers of the Pumps industry.
This leads to a choice for the product which the have to buy. Universe Present study
is empirical in nature and based on mainly primary data collected from field survey
in certain parts of Nanital. Besides collection and analysis of primary data.
Secondary data and pertinent literature has been compiled from published and
documented sources. Previous studies.
Surveys, reports and research work have been consulted while concerned persons
have been approached to get insights and relevant statistics on the topic of
investigation.
The objective of the research is to from out the marketing potential of the century
Pumps pulp industry and its growth in the Indian Pumps industry.

What a Siva Pumps water pumping system is
Who we are
Project 1
Project Name: PS5500 Siva Pumps water pumping system for farmland
irrigation
Project Name: PS5500 Siva Pumps Pumping System for Farmland Irrigation
Project Introduction:
Solution:
Siva Pumps pumping system consists of a Siva Pumps array, Siva
Pumps pumping inverter and a three-phase AC pump. The Siva Pumps array is
composed of many Siva Pumps cells panels connected in series and in parallel,
converting irradiation from sunlight to electrical energy. The pumping inverter
controls and regulates pumping operation and converts DC to drive AC pumps.
The AC pump is driven by a 3-phase induction motor, draws water from well,
rivers or lakes, stores in tank or uses for irrigation directly. Utilizing Siva Pumps
PS5500 Siva Pumps pumping system, The pump draws water from 15 meters
underground. Daily water output of the system is up to 360M3.
Economy Benefit:
Indian Pump Industry has more than 500 manufacturers with worker
strength of over 30,000 producing 1 million pumps valued at Rs.12 billion.
During the period 1978-94 pump industry has maintained an average growth of
15% p.a. The pump manufacturers are able to meet 84% of the domestic market
demand and export pumps worth Rs.2 billion in 1997-98. It services all sectors
of the Indian Industry viz. Agriculture, Public Health Engineering, Water
supply, Chemical and process industries, Refinery and Petrochemical, Paper,
Steel, Mining, Power Generation, Food Processing pharmaceutical, Sewage and
Effluent treatment etc.
Pumps account for 30% of the power consumption in the country. Thus,
efficient operation of pump system can yield substantial savings. The industrial
Pump-motor system is a major determinant of cost of production in the industry
by way of capital investment and running cost. Not only the pump and drive
selected for optimal performance, but pump-motor system as a whole should be
efficient and reliable and reliable.
The Pump body is split in two half along the upper half of the body to
be removed for carrying out maintenance to the rotating parts without disturbing
suction or discharge PUMPS line. The pump has distinct advantage of ease of
maintenance and is used for water supply services (for fire fighting, cooling
water, raw water, cooling tower supply), mine de-watering and as bilge and
ballast pump.
Slurry Pump:
This pump handles solids suspended in liquid in slurry form. The major
concern in pumping slurry is the abrasive wear of pump components exposed
to the liquid. Selection of best material for pump components to resist wear or
to be isolate from the abrasive media is vital. Rubber-lined or hard metal End-
suction pump are used. Pumps are deployed to handle mine slurries, fly ash
slurry, mill scale, sand and gravel slurry, ceramic slurry etc.
Diaphragm Pump:
The back and forth flexing of a diaphragm causes the liquid to flow into
and out of the pump. The diaphragm may be moved mechanically or may be
actuated by compressed air or hydraulic fluid. Check valves are provided at
inlet and outlet port. These pumps are self-priming, seal-less, can run dry, and
handle solids with liquids. Mechanically actuated Pumps are used for metering
service, having accuracy of +/- 1%. Air operated diaphragm pump are used to
handle sewage, slurries and other corrosive liquids. Pump produces pressure
pulsation requiring use of dampener and has lower efficiency.
Eccentric Screw Pumps:
Two screws intermesh with each other and rotate inside a pump casing.
The liquid is transported between flank of the screw and the pump casing. The
pump is used to handle the different fuel oils and other viscous liquids but
cannot handle suspended oils. Its capability to run in dry condition makes it
ideal for unloading service.
This pump has a central screw driven by the prime mover while the other
2 screws are run by the center screw. Pumping action is similar to Twin screw
pump. These pumps have higher efficiency and high pressure developing
capability with added advantage of being compact. It is used for Pumps fuel
feeding application; power source for hydraulic lifts and in centralised
lubrication system in large steel mills. The limitation of the pump is its
incapability to handle solids and it cannot run dry.
Sliding Vane Pump:
Vanes slide in the slots cut length wise in rotor and the rotor is inside an
eccentrically shaped casing, which acts like a cam. Pumps are self-priming, of
simple construction and have feature of self-compensation for wear on the
vanes. Pumps are employed for handling oil in lubrication service or as power
packs for low pressure hydraulic motors. Pumps are unable to handle suspended
solids, corrosive liquids and highly viscose media.
Gear Pump:
The Gear Pump has two meshing gears rotating inside a casing. Liquid is
carried between gear teeth and the casing and displaced as the teeth mesh. The
pump is, economical, pulsation free and quiet in operation. External as well as
Internal gear configurations are possible. Pumps are used for handling LDO,
lube oil, fuel oil, paints, viscose and other clean viscous liquids. Pump cannot
handle suspended solids and cannot run dry.
Lobe Pump:
Pump has one or more lobes that rotate at slow speed inside the casing to
displace the liquid. The wide spaces between the lobes and the slow speed make
it ideal for handling fragile solids and shear-sensitive liquids. Pump output is
subject to pressure pulsation and high amount of slip with low viscosity liquids.
Pumps are employed to handle food products and pharmaceutical formulations.
Peristaltic Pump:
It has roller or cam attached to rotor, which squeezes the tube as it passes
across it, drawing the liquid in the tube and delivering it to the discharge side.
The pump is seal-less and rotating element is not exposed to the liquid. Pump
is used where high order of cleanliness and hygiene is essential; like pumping
of human blood/plasma, other medical and bio-medical applications.
While there are different pump technologies from which the plant
designer has to select the pump, it is very important that correct selection is
done for the type of pump, material of construction, shaft sealing and size of
pump.

AC induction motors are the most widely used prime mover for industrial
pumps. AC induction motors of different construction and mounting
configuration are available. The motors can be foot, flange or wall mounted.
Different motor enclosures are:
Vertical motor
Submersible motor
Pump speed
Efficiency
Temperature
Presently, selection of motor for driving the pumps is carried out with
involvement of consultation 15% of cases pertaining to new projects. In 45%
of cases, pump set complete with motor is procured from pump manufacturers
while the balance purchases involve procurement of motor by the user
organisations.
Variable speed drive is used for pump having variation in discharge rate
and provides power saving. Different types of variable speed drives are
available, viz. Pulse Width Modulated inverter, Eddy current or slip coupling
drive, Switched Reluctance Drive etc. Variable frequency drives are proven to
be advantageous due to their higher efficiency, capability to integrate with drive
control software.
Variable speed drive can regulate pump flow by consuming lesser energy
in comparison to conventional method of using throttling valve on Pump
discharge line. Savings in Power cost due to energy conservation by use of
Variable speed drives can pay back the additional investment in cost of drive in
a short span of time.
Installation of variable speed drive requires that the site is well ventilated,
free from corrosive fumes and radio frequency interference. Multiple pumps
can be run by operating a single drive or individual drive with each pump can
be installed.
In India, use of variable speed drive with pumps is limited at present due to:
The pump and motor have to be matched for optimal performance. The
torque-speed characteristics of the motor and pump should be matched to ensure
availability of SIVA ting as well as running torque for the pump. The moment
of inertia for the pump motor system ahs to be considered to determine the
acceleration time for the motor to attain full speed. The SIVA ting torque of the
motor is influenced by method adopted to SIVA t the motor. DOL SIVA ting
provides higher SIVA ting toque in comparison to SIVA delta SIVA ting.
The pump and motor are connected through flexible coupling which
transmits the power. The coupling while transmitting power, takes the load of
axial misalignment. Different types of flexible couplings available in India
include tyre type coupling, pin and bush coupling, gear type coupling, spider
coupling, spacer coupling etc.
Certain pumps are complete with motor like Submersible Pumps. The
pump is close coupled with a motor, which is designed to operate while
submerged in the liquid to be pumped. The motor is filled with oil and separated
from the pumped liquid by a mechanical seal. This motor may be coupled to
multi stage centrifugal pump or non-clog centrifugal pump for handling raw
water, drinking water or sewage / effluents respectively.
Pump and motor is an integral construction and there is no shaft seal. The
pump section is identical to a conventional centrifugal pump. The motir is a 2
or 4 pole induction motor having stator and rotor canned within corrosion
resistant non-magnetic liner and sleeve. The entire outside of the motor is
enclosed in a secondary leakage containment shell. Primary protection is
provided by corrosion resistant liners which are seam welded and assure that
pumped liqued does not contact stator windings.
Application Aspects
Selection based on insufficient data
Actual duty parameters differing from design duty point due to safety
margins built in.
Operational Aspects
Maintenance Aspects
Other Aspects
Gear Pump Manufacturers to work on this development and take assistance for
machining from Tool rooms established with German collaborations.
Canned Motor pumps are being manufactured in the country by only one
manufacturer at present. More manufacturers should enter this field. Since cost
and time required for development of technology would be high, route of
technical collaboration with foreign manufacturers may be explored.
Indian Pump Manufacturers Association can take the lead role to set up
such a unit in consultation with SiTarc and Pump and Pump manufacturers.
Whereas many units of organised sector have adopted ISO 9000 Quality
Assurance systems, in the small-scale sector, it needs to be adopted at a fast
pace. This would go a long way in improving quality of pumps of small-scale
units and enable them to enter International market as well.
The user industries should re-evaluate the duty parameters for pumps
installed in their plant. In a big process plant, such an exercise will be costly as
well as time consuming. It is suggested that based on annual power
consumption of the Pumps, an ABC analysis may be applied. Top 10% of
Pumps (by number), that consume maximum power on annual basis, should be
taken up in the first phase for energy conservation exercise. Wherever feasible,
pump and motor should be modified to operate close to their best efficiency
point.
Variable speed drive manufacturers to take the lead for canvassing use of
VSD. User Industries to undertake the exercise in association with Pump
manufacturers to identify potential applications for using variable speed drive.
Govt. of India to consider duty concessions for Variable speed drive
manufacturers.
Lastly, the Pump industry has to change the old mindset of focussing on
domestic market only. Many investments that may not look lucrative enough in
Indian context may be rewarding on International scale. Larger quantities in
World market can help reduce costs due to economies of scale for Plastic
pumps. Exposure of operating in world market will lead to benchmarking with
competing products resulting in design and quality improvements.
Ten years ago, World Pumps put together a brief history of the pump
industry telling the story of pump development since the Egyptians invented the
shadoof in 200BC. We stopped then at 1999, but here we bring the story right
up to date with some of the main industry events of recent times.
Fifty years ago, Trade & Technical Press launched a new magazine to
report on technical developments in pumps. The original title of Pumping was
short-lived, being soon supplanted by the pan-European Pumps, Pompes,
Pumpen in 1965 as the magazine linked up with the fledgling Europump
association. Over the next seventeen years, the pump industry became
increasingly international and in 1982, the publisher decided to mark this trend
by re-launching the magazine as World Pumps.
The thirtieth anniversary year saw Trade & Technical Press acquired by
Elsevier Science Ltd who incorporated the magazine into its Elsevier Advanced
Technology Division. Since then, a number of editorial changes have brought
with them new approaches as the industry matures. There have been reviews of
software and web pages, eventually eclipsed by sheer numbers. An annual
International Buyers Guide has been published since 1997, and is now
supplemented by an on-line version. Since 2003 World Pumps has worked with
BPMA on the annual prestigious Pump Industry Awards. The magazine now
features regular contributions from the Hydraulic Institute, underlining its
international credentials.
Man has been using pumps of some type for 4000 years, which makes 50
years a very short time in the history of pumping. Indeed, looking back at the
most significant developments in technology, the last fifty years seem relatively
insignificant. By 1959, all the major pump designs had been introduced and
mostly developed into commercial products. So what has World Pumps been
writing about for the past 50 years?
Driving trends
The trends that have affected all of us have also had their impact on the
pump market. Increased environmental awareness gave a real boost to pumps
without shaft seals. Magnetic drive and canned motor units have thrived and
even produced a hybrid combining the two technologies. Pump shaft sealing
has also changed dramatically. Asbestos in packing is outlawed and today the
vast majority of new pumps are supplied with mechanical seals, often in
factory-assembled cartridge format to avoid the risk of face damage during
handling.
Materials have also developed. Sea-water pumps have seen gunmetal and
aluminium bronze replaced by highly alloyed super-austenitic and super-duplex
stainless steels. New non-metals have made possible tiny pumps for human
implant. Ceramics and tungsten/silicon carbide have vastly reduced wear rates
in pumps of all sizes. Even large sub-sea variable speed super-synchronous
drive motors for pumps are now possible.
Overtaken by computers
Electronics and computers have overtaken all our lives and inevitably
have entered the physical world of pumps in the form of variable speed drives
(VSD's), SCADA systems and condition monitoring equipment. Integral VSDs
on in-line pumping units now dominate the building services market. Pump
selection software has speeded up the process of choosing a pump, as well as
opening opportunities in Sales. For the designer, CAD and CFD have reached
new heights. They can now interact but they still have some way to go before
they fully replace personal expertise.
Life cycle costing has become a part of everyday life and has shown that
energy costs usually eclipse all other lifetime costs. Vast savings are frequently
realised by system improvement but appropriate legislation is practically
impossible to formulate. Although pump efficiency improvements give
relatively small returns for large outlays, legislation for raising efficiency now
exists in Korea and China. The European Commission, as part of its Energy
Using Products Directive, has targeted the raising of efficiencies of water
pumps. Europump has been instrumental in assisting the EC in this task and has
proposeda method for eliminating bad performers.
We are all aware that in recent years, discussions about the pump industry
have been dominated by talk of mergers, takeovers and disposals. Indeed, as we
consider the major pump makers of 2009, it is hard to name one which has not
changed markedly since 1959.
ITT, IDP, Sterling Fluid Systems, Grundfos, Wilo and ABS have
changed almost beyond recognition. Established independent makers like
Harland, Flygt, Worthington and now Weir Pumps have disappeared, whilst
newer names like Textron, Constellation Capital, IDEX, Pentair and Flowserve
have arrived on the scene, continuing the trend for the biggest companies to get
bigger.
Mind you, it is also interesting to note from the chronology of the pump
industry listed below, that even in the early years of this magazine mergers and
acquisitions were not unknown and ever since there has been a continuous
environment of change.
Global marketplace
Probably the biggest single change in this industry has been the transition
from a local to a global marketplace. Fifty years ago we had only national trade
associations but today the significant impetus in inter-company relations is at
intercontinental level. The Europump Association has grown massively in
stature and effectiveness in its 49 years, and now works in close partnership
with the Hydraulic Institute in the US. This partnership reflects ever closer
cooperation between pump manufacturers' associations, a development that
mirrors this magazine's evolution from national through European to global
coverage.
COMPANY PROFILE
However, this wasnt always the case. Since our humble beginnings
back in 1992, we have worked hard to get to where we are today and have had
to embrace every opportunity that has come our way. Luckily, a combination
of passion, grit and determination signifies that our business has not only
grown, it has truly flourished. And now, we are proud to be able to say that we
have achieved our number one goal to be the very best at what we do.
Our pumps are not only energy efficient, but also long-lasting and very
easy to maintain
Because we have been able to put quality hand-in-hand with energy
efficiency Siva pumps is at the forefront of the global pump industry. In short,
we are able to offer our customers some of the best pumping solutions available
in the world today

SUGGESSTON:
During the research process it was found that an amazing world of big
machineries & their process which were in continuous operation to deliver the nal
product. It can never be thought that developing a small sheet of Pumps would
require such immense & arduous tasks of both men & machinery. Also. apart from
processes some major findings on behalf of the data collected from in and outside
the Pumps industry helped in drawing a cenain conclusion. lt can cited as follows:
The new era of upcoming generation is going to be knowledge based. so demand for
Pumps would go on increasing in upcoming years. In view of Pumps industry's
strategic role for the society & also for the overall industrial growth it is necessary
that the Pumps industry performs well. The demand for upstream market of Pumps
products like: BHEL TAMILNADU etc. is growing due to increase in population 81
more & more facilitation. These developments are expected to give ll up to the
industry. Due to industrialization & globalization there is huge demand 8: potential
of Pumps& allied products. Corporate sector. Computerization in banks. nancial &
other institutions has opened a great market opportunity for a new sector that is
COPIER PAPER. As per the information collected through the sales & marketing
department of the company. A major consumption & demand is seen in Delhi &
NCR region where therefore are maximum number of dealers that too with very high
allocated size.
