PAL - Process Automation International Ltd - and their Indian agent,
Kamtress Automation Systems Pvt Ltd, have established an enviable track
record recently for supplying state-of-the-art plating lines to companies
in India involved with the automotive industry. Within the space of 20

of aluminium alloy wheels, for whom the PAL:Kamtress duo installed two large
programmed hoist rack Copper, Nickel and Chromium PAL machines for plating
14" to 20" diameter aluminium wheels; then Badve Engineering, one of India's
leading motor bike component manufacturers, took delivery of a Tri-Nickel/Chrome
line for plating silencers and exhaust pipes. Third on the list of orders was Hero,
India's largest motorbike manufacturer who needed a horizontal wheel rim plating
line - their new machine will be installed this month (January 2002) and will produce
6,000 wheel rims a day.
