What Decides the Right Size of Purchase
Before comparing models, write down four things: how many welders will work at the same time, how many hours a day the machines will run, which metals you weld (mild steel, stainless or aluminium) and whether the work is in the shop, on site or both. The answers put almost every buyer in Kalyan-Dombivli into one of the three groups below.
Small Workshops: One to Three Welders
This covers gate and grill makers, rolling-shutter and staircase fabricators and repair shops serving the construction work that keeps going across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Jobs are varied, much of the welding happens at building sites and the machine often travels in a tempo or up a staircase.
What to buy
- A portable inverter MMA welder such as the Paragweld ARC 400 IJ, which is light enough to carry to sites and strong enough for structural steel.
- A compact air plasma cutter for clean cuts on sheet and grill sections, instead of relying on a grinder.
- A steady supply of dry, good-quality electrodes in the sizes you use most.
Add a MIG machine only when repeat jobs such as shutters, railings or frames keep your team busy every day.
Mid-Size Fabricators: Four to Fifteen Welders
This is where much of Kalyan-Dombivli's industrial fabrication happens. These shops make storage tanks, agitators, process skids, pipe racks, platforms and ducting for chemical and pharma plants in MIDC Dombivli, and fabricated parts for engineering units in the Thane-Belapur belt. The work is a mix of mild steel and stainless steel, and customers expect consistent quality and on-time delivery.
What to buy
- MIG for mild-steel production: the Paragweld MIG 400 Pro or MIG 500 Pro for frames, structures and skids.
- TIG for stainless steel: a machine from our TIG welder series for pipe spools, nozzles and vessel seams where corrosion resistance and a clean finish matter. Add a water cooling unit for long, high-current runs.
- Plasma cutting: an LGK series cutter for stainless and mild-steel plate.
- MMA machines for installation and erection work at clients' plants.
Machines Across All Three Scales
These Paragweld product families cover the needs of small workshops, mid-size fabricators and large plants in Kalyan-Dombivli:
Large Plants and Project Contractors
Large chemical and pharma plants, heavy fabricators making pressure vessels and columns and contractors handling big structural packages need equipment that increases output, not just more welders.
What to buy
- Submerged arc welding on a column and boom with welding rotators, for long seams and circular seams on shells and vessels.
- CNC plasma or flame cutting to cut parts accurately in large quantities, instead of marking and cutting each one by hand.
- Fiber laser welding for thin stainless-steel parts where a small heat-affected zone and very little finishing are important.
- Portable inverter ARC and TIG sets for the maintenance department, ready for shutdowns and urgent pipe or tank repairs inside the plant.
Planning for Growth
Many Kalyan-Dombivli shops grow from the first group into the second. Buy with that in mind: check that your power connection can handle an extra 3-phase 415V machine, standardise on a few electrode and wire sizes and choose torches and consumables that are easy to reorder. A good first machine should stay useful as a site or backup unit after you upgrade.
Mid-size fabricators who start getting orders for larger vessels often add a welding rotator before a full submerged arc set-up. It speeds up circular seams with the MIG and TIG machines they already own, and it also prepares the shop for automation later.
