Rathpon Engineering was founded in the year 1992 by Rathinam Ramasamy, a proud Alumnus of Guindy Engineering College, Anna University, Chennai. His passion and focus towards new invention and development of indigenous machineries that are world class in quality and design are still the motivating force of the company. He is also the key person spearheading most of these projects from design to execution with able assistance from a team of talented young as well as experienced technicians.
One of the early projects that was executed immediately after setting up the first factory at Guindy Sidco Industrial Estate, was the development of a fully automatic de-skinning machine for Tapioca (Cassava) tubers to meet the growing needs of Sago industry. With meticulous planning and rigorous testing & validation, this project successfully demonstrated a completely automized equipment. This design made use of mechanisms such as uni-directional clutch to translate pneumatic power to eject the peeled Tapiocas, and Solenoid actuated mechanisms to automate the process was considered unique at that point in time. Rathpon strongly believes in continuous innovation and reinvention which is clearly evident in all the products manufactured till date. The Tapioca peeler is a very good example and after several process and design improvements the latest version of this equipment can be found in many parts of Tamil Nadu. Similarly several examples of Rathpon’s contribution to other industries such as Paint, Food, Pharma and Chemical Industries can be cited.
In textile industry specifically, a Cabinet hang yarn dyeing machine that was developed to process yarn with a lowest possible liquor ratio of 1:9 which is still the country’s best and this cost-effective solution is a benchmark for most competitors till date
