Technology Transfer

Department worked towards development of many new innovative products. Technologies related to new products, developed by Department faculty, have been transferred to companies responsible for production and distribution of those products. Summary of such products is:

  • Anoop Chawla and Sudipto Mukherjee have designed a collapsible container that can be collapsed or erected in less than four minutes. A special platform, or base station, folds the containers hydraulically to one quarter its size. The process needs just one or two unskilled or semi-skilled persons. This new design is reported to be a major development in design of containers from the time when Malcolm McLean, a trucking entrepreneur from North Carolina, US, pioneered the use of containers for carrying cargo 52 years back. This technology has been transferred.
  • Two Products Semi-Automatic Carpet Washing Machine and Drying Chamber were developed by department faculty Prof S K Saha and faculty from other departments. The technology concerning these two products is transferred to J&K Handicrafts, Srinagar where machines were installed, demonstrated and trainings were imparted to the washermen who would use the machine.
