Who We Are
Asli Punjab Industries (Pvt.) Limited is a prominent producer of Water Pumps in the country, providing long-held loyal customers with high-quality goods and services. Since its inception in 1966, the firm has achieved numerous milestones that serve as solid foundations for the provision of high-quality products and the development of new products in their respective domains, with proven track record. During the 1980s, the firm began casting iron while producing water pumps.
The company took the first steps toward corporate culture by obtaining corporate certification from the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan, which changed the company’s status from sole proprietorship to private limited company. While API began trading pumps with Turkey, China, Europe, Korea, and the United States in the year 2000, the company took a positive step forward by importing the most up-to-date machinery for producing PPR-C, uPVC Pipes & Fittings, and Water Pumps of various capacities under the supervision of international polymer experts, and thus began producing polymer products.
OUR PRODUCT LINE
Water Pumps
During the 1990s recession, there was a drop in local copper wire prices, making it impossible to keep pure quality copper wire at competitive pricing. Impurities were found in silver and other alloyed copper wires made locally. This was discovered during a copper wire laboratory test. Following this, API began the production process on an urgent basis and this task was done effectively in no time; thanks to the dedication of our experts and the professionalism of our entire team. This decision is significant in our history because the use of pure copper not only extended the life of our water pumps but also greatly reduced our customers’ electrical bills. API uses state-of-the-art machinery, international expert training, and a professional team to practice the art of water pump manufacture; this is why we are ahead of the curve in terms of standards and innovation.
UPVC Pipes & Fittings
After going through numerous production procedures, the pump is put through the testing phase, where final fittings are installed and safety precautions are devised in a lab setting according to Pakistan Standard and Quality Control Authority regulations. Water pumps and motors, for example, are tested for 45 minutes at a high electric load to check for non-conformities during operation. All non-conformities in water pumps are removed before they are released to the market.
Three-Layered PPR-C Pipes & Fittings
API was the first company in Pakistan to manufacture three-layered PPR-C pipes, resulting in a 50-year increase in the functional longevity of these products. The procedure involved in the manufacturing of the PPR-C pipes and accessories ensures food grading and hygienic production. When building three-layered pipes, the emphasis is placed not only on outward strength but also on making the inner layer more static and solid, resulting in a construction that is solid from the inside out.
Aluminum Coated PPR-C Pipes & Fittings
API is also a pioneer in Pakistan for aluminum layered PPR-C pipes, demonstrating their struggle for continuous improvement in design and features of their products and their determination towards innovation. PPR-C products with an aluminum coating not only withstand environmental impacts, but also safeguard the pipelines from pathogens and eliminate dumping concerns.
HOW DO WE ASSURE QUALITY
PRELIM
Since API takes the responsibility of quality products, therefore we cannot merely rely on raw material imported from foreign manufacturers. Equipped to the latest standards, our labs test the raw material before issuance to production. That’s why API products are the first priority for customers across Pakistan.
PROCEDURE
- API’s Quality Assurance Manager creates a testing strategy. Under the direction of the Quality Assurance Manager, all pumps are tested using this plan, and a Quality Assurance Report is generated. The Q.A. Manager chooses 5% pumps for testing from the entire lot. If one of the pumps is found to be malfunctioning, the entire lot is retested.
- After passing the quality assurance process, the pumps are released for sale. Our after-sales support staff then visits dealers and distributors to ensure that pump storage and handling conditions are properly monitored and that technical guidance is offered. These efforts demonstrate our dedication to providing high-quality products and services that fulfil customer requirements.
TESTING & VERIFICATION
Testing and verification process starts from detailed testing of raw material and the remaining inspection is carried out during production and final testing.
All product testing at API is carried out under the PSQCA guideline; some of the tests that are carried out are as under:
1-Specific Gravity
2-Hydrostatic Pressure Testing
3-Impact Test
4-Heat Reversion Test
5-Methelene Chloride Test
6-Tensile Test
7-Melt Flow Index Test
8-Microscopic Test
9-Structure Toughness Test
10-Opacity Test
SAFETY
We use food grade resin and other material to safeguard the customers from all sorts of health hazards. The food grade material is imported from Turkey, Europe, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia and United States. The quality of imported raw material is tested and verified by applying various techniques
