Having bagged the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification for its CPVC BlazeMaster Fire Sprinkler Pipes, a first in the industry, Ahmedabad-based Astral Poly Technik Limited is set to invest around Rs 25-30 crore on the system.
Now that we have received the BIS certification, we can begin commercial operations for the CPVC fire sprinkler pipes. While the pipes would be manufactured on the existing CPVC manufacturing machines, we need to upgrade the system as well as we are increasing our capacity. Hence, we will be investing around Rs 25-30 crore for BlazeMaster, said Sandeep Engineer, Managing Director of Astral Poly Technik Limited.
So far the Indian pipes market is predominantly controlled by metallic pipes for fire sprinkler system. However, post BIS certification, Astral will be the first mover in the country for Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) polymer fire sprinkler solutions. According to Astral, the CPVC fire sprinkler system will be absolutely free from all shortcomings that metallic pipes face such as corrosion, scaling and rusting.
BlazeMaster CPVC pipe and fittings are specifically designed for fire sprinkler systems having various advantages such as faster and easier installation process, light weight material for ease of transportation and maneuverability on the job site, superior water delivery, resistant to scale and corrosion to pipe, and low flame and smoke characteristics.
The company has four manufacturing locations for pipes and fittings including Santej, Dholka, Baddi and Hosur. At the year end 2013, Santej plant had a capacity of 48,341 MT to manufacture plumbing systems, whereas the Baddi plants manufacturing capacity for CPVC fittings and valves is around 4,914 M.T. The Dholka plant, on the other hand, has a capacity of 23,957 MT.
Moreover, to cater the southern market of the country, the company is putting up its fourth plant at Hosur with an initial capacity of 7,000 M.T. which will be increased over a period of time. In all, today company has total production capacity of 95,000 MT (roughly) and within a span of next 2 years they plan to achieve a total capacity of over 130,000 MT.
The fiscal year 2012-13 saw Astral Poly Technik Ltd achieve a turnover of Rs 821 crore at a growth of CAGR 42.78 per cent. Similarly, FY 13 has seen the company achieve a net profit of Rs 59.5 crore, registering a growth of CAGR 36.69 per cent since 2007.

Astral to invest Rs 30 cr on CPVC fire sprinkler pipes
Ahmedabad, April 2:
Astral Poly Technik Ltd is planning to venture into bendable multilayered chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) piping system for gas distribution industry or city gas distribution (CGD) sector in India.
The BSE-listed Astral is in the process to obtain certificate from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for its FlowGuard Bendable Multilayer pipes, which would be used in the gas distribution.
We are in the process to get the BIS certificate for the Bendable multilayered pipe. The technology for installation and maintenance is different from the present metal pipes used in the gas distribution. It may take around 3-4 years to be able to pass through the stringent norms of BIS, said Sandeep Engineer, Managing Director, Astral Poly Technik.
The company has manufactured FlowGuard Bendable Multilayer pipe for global buyers for hot and cold water distribution system.
Astral has already received the BIS certification for its CPVC BlazeMaster Fire Sprinkler system. The company will invest around Rs 25-30 crore on the system.
"We are the first company to provide BIS certified CPVC fire sprinkler systems. The pipes will be manufactured at the companys existing CPVC manufacturing facilities, we would still require to increasing our capacity, Engineer said.
The Indian pipes market is predominantly controlled by metallic pipes for fire sprinkler system. The CPVC fire sprinkler system would overcome the challenges of corrosion, scaling and rusting in metal pipes.
Company will market its fire sprinkler systems under the brand name of BlazeMaster CPVC pipe and fittings.
For the fiscal 2013, the company has registered a total turnover of Rs 821 crore with a net profit of Rs 59.5 crore.

Astral forays into bendable CPCV pipes for gas distribution
Midland Mirror
MIDLAND Firefighters spent several hours Tuesday afternoon extinguishing a fire at ADM Milling Co. on Midlands waterfront.
The flour mill was safely evacuated prior to the fire departments arrival just after lunchtime, said Chief Kevin Foster.
The sprinkler system had activated, which helped to contain the fire, he said, adding the scene was cleared by 6 p.m.
The fire in the facilitys dust-collection system also spread to the roof area. Foster said the investigation has yet to determine a cause.
Because flour dust can be highly explosive under the right conditions, Foster said the potential danger was something that crews took into account.
Its always a consideration and something we have to be concerned about, he said. The sprinkler system in there will assist with that; not only will it start to control the fire itself, but, obviously, once things start to become wet, the dust itself is controlled.
About 24 Midland firefighters and five trucks, plus six personnel from Penetanguishene, attended the scene.
Foster tipped his hat to ADM officials for quickly getting everyone out of the building.
Evacuation planning is just as important at your place of work as it is at your home, he said.

Sprinkler system needs repair - Video
SAN JOSE, Calif. Steve Fernholz looked out the window of his Seattle home and got an idea for an Internet of Things startup.
"I was watching the way my mom was watering the trees on my behalf, and I thought, 'That's the way to do it. Just give each plant what it needs,'" he told us. "A couple days later, I had a prototype with parts from a model flying airplane, and now, nine months later, I have a startup."
Thus was born Droplet, a next-generation automated sprinkler that taps into weather and soil data over the web to deliver carefully calibrated amounts of water to each plant in a yard. Fernholz said it can slash water bills as much as 90% -- about $253 a year for the average user.
The device, now available on Amazon.com for $299.99, includes a sprinkler head, a timer, and a Raspberry Pi controller board. It uses a Realtek 802.11b/g/n controller to link to the Internet over a home WiFi net like another access point.
"We looked at different IoT protocols, such as low-power Bluetooth and Zigbee, but for the range and ease of use, we chose WiFi," said Fernholz, a former Microsoft employee who worked on Bing, Office, and Windows.
The $299.99 Droplet device has a range of about 30 feet.
Users can manage the devices via a browser, or they can use iOS and Android apps that will be available when Droplet starts shipping in June. "Our connected services suite is where the device really shines." For example, it can delay watering until it finds out how much of a predicted downpour actually falls.
The five-person company is hiring another four or five developers and has closed a small seed round with investors. The next major goal is to develop a version for farmers, probably sometime next year. "It's a personal goal of mine to effect social change by empowering better farm yields and better water use."

IoT Sprinkler Taps the Cloud

A lthough a sprinkler system may not have stopped the fire that ravaged James Monroe Elementary School, it certainly might have helped, according to Edison Fire Chief Brian Latham.
He said fire sprinklers could have controlled the fire, but in many circumstances, fire sprinklers have failed to contain fires.
It is definitely better to have them than not, he said.
James Monroe Elementary School, which was built in 1963, did not have a sprinkler system in place nor was it required to.
The fire at the school on Sharp Road began around 8 p.m. March 22, and firefighters fought the blaze through the night.
A facilities management supervisor at the elementary school Jerome C. Higgins, 48, of East Brunswick was charged on March 24 with a disorderly persons offense for allegedly smoking inside the school and then tossing the lit cigarette into a trash bin, igniting the blaze that ultimately consumed the school.
Board of Education President Gene Maeroff said the question of sprinklers will be examined.
No schools were required to install sprinklers until 1977, he said, adding that the Edison School District has not built a new school since 1972.
