AL Circle: Congratulations on the successful delivery of a 250 TR water-cooled screw chiller with dual compressors to Hindalco Industries Ltd. Could you outline how effectively this unit cuts downtime and maximise energy efficiency?

Soumo Roy: Thank you. The 250 TR water-cooled screw chiller installed at Hindalco’s castor plant replaced their earlier cooling tower system, which was unable to maintain consistent temperature control—crucial for roller cooling.

Our chiller offers precise temperature regulation, ensuring consistent product quality and uninterrupted production. The dual-compressor system enables efficient operation across varying loads, significantly reducing energy consumption during part-load conditions. This results in 15–25 per cent energy savings compared to traditional systems and minimises unplanned downtime.

AL Circle: Please walk us through your 40-year journey in the industry, the legacy you've built over the decades, and how you plan to expand your business.

Soumo Roy: Tempcon began its journey over four decades ago with a mission to provide reliable, application-specific process cooling solutions for core industrial sectors such as aluminium, steel, power, and mining.
