Mr. Mohit Kumar descripts, “As a leading pulp molding machinery manufacturer, EcosurePulpmolding has various responsibilities to adhere to.” The responsibilities include understanding the customer’s requirements and providing a customized solution. This includes pre-sales and process-based support to the customer.

The semi-automatic pulp molding machines, namely ECOSA 7565 & ECOSA 10095. Out of these, ECOSA 10095 can be modified to adjust any existing mold of any other make of Indian or Chinese machine. The robotic pulp molding machines, ECOSAR 7565, ECOSAR 10095, and ECOSAR 12010, are integrated with the functioning of a ROBOTIC ARM and can be bought as oil-heated based or electric-heated based. The fully automatic pulp molding machines, having models as ECOFA 7565, ECOFA 9090 & ECOFA 12010, are all equipped with an oil-heated or electric heated- base.
In order to facilitate the pre and post-sales services EcosurePulpmolding has undertaken various steps. “We have a designated R&D center for innovating existing technologies and working towards new ones.

Market Footprint & Clientele

Mr. Mohit Kumar elaborated on EcosurePulpmolding’s market footprint, “In India, so far we have booked more than 56 projects, and 25 projects are successfully running. EcosurePulpmolding has entered into a technical joint venture with Fang Thai Factory Limited, aThailand Company. The joint venture, FTF Candia Fiber Mold Packaging (Thailand) Company Limited, will offer turnkey solutions by producing chemical-free enzymatic cellulosic fiber (GREEN fib technology) from various types of agro waste by using green fiber technology. We are setting up two international projects, one project in Thailand and another one in Australia.”

EcosurePulpmolding’s Climate-Conscious Future

EcosurePulpmolding entered the market in a post-Covid era, but its preparations required a study of pre and post-pandemic trends. The observation shows a preference for biodegradable products stemming from twin concerns. The first is a higher awareness of hygienic practices and the second is the realization of individual and societal carbon footprint. “The end consumer is more sensitized toward sustainable practices and prefers biodegradable products, like agro-fiber-based tableware, instead of plastic products, such as one-use plastic ware. Hence, EcosurePulpmolding is also making its presence and efforts known toward manufacturing climate-conscious industrial products,” commented Mr. Kumar.

EcosurePulpmolding’s products use agro-fiber or bagasse pulp to manufacture biodegradable products. The agro-fiber pulp is sourced from agro-waste of sugarcane, bamboo, rice straw, and wheat straw. Bagasse-based products are manufactured from sugarcane-based agro-waste pulp.

Mr. Kumar further highlighted the company’s contribution towards the Indian economy, “EcosurePulpmolding is a contributor to various government campaigns, such as Make in India and Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana. We also provide technical education support to our customers through an in-house design facility about how a production plant must be set up.” The motivation for all these facilities is stemmed from the market demand that the company forecasts for the industry’s future.
