Imagine some of the critical applications of fresh clean air for the comfort of pilots inside fighter aircraft, for patients in the hospital and miners working in deep mines. There is one company in Coimbatore providing the special solution, and that is Trident Pneumatics, which remains dedicated to offering high quality pure compressed air for critical applications like the ones mentioned above, and for industries like textiles, one of the key verticals that the company caters to.
Trident Pneumatics was started by Mr. K.S. Natarajan in 1988 for developing innovative product solutions in the field of compressed air treatment solutions. This has resulted in production of different items like air dryers, drain valves, nitrogen generators, oxygen generators, filters, etc., some of which are patented. The company’s infrastructure with modern equipment and facilities ensure quality products that meet the stringent requirements of the industry.
Mr. K.S. Natarajan, Managing Director, Trident Pneumatics Pvt. Ltd., says: “With our proficient design & development team and up-to-date facilities, we have successfully faced up to challenging tasks in our area of expertise. Today, as the largest exporter of compressed air treatment products in India, our products encompass air compressor components, water separators, drain valves, dryers, filters and breathing systems that ensure optimum purity levels”.
Trident, with its manufacturing facility in Coimbatore, has vast sales and service network across the country. It exports its products to several countries with a large distribution network, including South-East Asia, Middle-East, Africa, Australia, Russia and the US. Currently, the company has a joint venture in Canada and will set up another JV in Europe shortly. These JVs will help Trident keep connected and updated with the latest in technology and global developments and requirements.
“We have an excellent R&D team, and we have patented products in the areas of valves, condensate sensing technology, etc. We have nearly 6 products which are currently under different stages of development”, says Mr. Natarajan.
Compressed air has extensive applications in the textile industry. Of course, air is free, but compressed air is most expensive. Trident remains devoted to compressed air treatment and energy reduction.
“Being in Coimbatore, we are wedded to the textile industry, and it is an important strategic market for us. Textile machines are becoming more automated and productive, and there is continuous improvement being made in the product quality and output as well as the purity level of the air fed into the machines. Trident has its single-minded focus on providing higher quality and clean air products consuming less energy. We are travelling in the same direction as the textile industry”, adds Mr. Natarajan.
