Industries demand higher production levels and top-tier quality, driving the widespread use of automated machinery powered by pneumatic systems. Air compressors, the backbone of pneumatic power, have evolved from traditional reciprocating models to more efficient screw compressors, particularly in India. While reciprocating compressors suffer from high energy consumption and a rapid decline in efficiency, screw compressors offer up to 20 percent higher output without losing efficiency over time.
As a result, the screw compressor market in India is growing, making it the preferred choice for industries seeking reliable, long-term performance. One manufacturer has been able to deliver innovative solutions that cater to the evolving needs of the market is Fibre Equipment.
The company is founded by BK Jha, who, very early in his career as a Junior Engineer in the Boiler Department, recognized the critical role of utility systems in supporting industrial growth. Understanding the efficient operation and maintenance of utility components—such as boilers, pumps, generators, and compressors—he conducted extensive studies in this area and contributed his expertise across various industries for 25 years.
Driven by a commitment to innovation, he established a manufacturing process that prioritizes energy efficiency, high capacity, low maintenance, and longevity, ensuring that each compressor meets the evolving needs of the industrial sector.
Engineered for Efficiency
The efficiency of screw compressors significantly depends on the screw element, also referred to as the screw air end. “While we do not manufacture this component in-house, we import screw air ends from leading global suppliers known for their advanced engineering”, says BK Jha, Managing Director at Fibre Equipment. The manufacturer has carefully selected suppliers that ensure the screw elements maintain high efficiency throughout their operational life. This efficiency is attributed to the superior working principles inherent in these designs, which are optimized for proper lubrication, thermal properties, and aerodynamics, ensuring ensuring they do not lose efficiency over time.
When Fibre Equipment receives an inquiry from a potential customer, the first step is understanding the specific application the customer requires the compressor for. With over 20 years of experience in the air compressor industry, the manufacturer is well-equipped to determine the appropriate capacity and pressure needed for each application. It suggests the right size and type of compressor, taking into consideration whether the client has a plan for standby operations. The team thoroughly educates customers on the role of pneumatic power in their applications and ensures they are aware of the optimal compressor model for their needs.

Quality, Durability, Innovation
Fibre Equipment operates as an ISO and CE-certified company, meeting the critical industry standards for global competitiveness. The manufacturer ensures that every compressor produced undergoes rigorous testing to guarantee optimal performance before it is approved for delivery. Furthermore, it recently introduced IoT technology in its machines, enabling the manufacturer and customers to monitor compressor performance remotely, ensuring efficiency and reducing maintenance issues. The technology, combined with easily accessible spare parts, directly from the manufacturer or through local suppliers further enhances the reliability of its compressors.
Fibre Equipment aims to manufacture high-quality, homegrown compressors that set a new industry standard. By prioritizing locally produced components and partnering with trusted Indian vendors, the manufacturer ensures that its products are built to last, addressing the widespread issue of low-quality, short-lived compressors that flood the market, particularly from imports. Its focus on durability, efficiency, and cutting-edge technology positions it as one of the key players in combating the trend of disposable, low-grade compressors. Through this commitment, the manufacturer enhances the reliability and lifespan of industrial equipment and reinforces India’s manufacturing capabilities, providing customers with superior, long-lasting solutions they can trust.
