How to reduce the production cost of aluminum profile factory

Here are 7 solution for reducing production cost and increasing the profit in aluminum extrusion factory

1.Reduce the defects in aluminum profiles

Defects in aluminum profiles are a factor that leads to scrap. A small defect on the aluminum profile will scrap the entire cut to length aluminum profile.

Due to the high added value of aluminum profiles, extrusion manufacturers should make every effort to reduce defects in aluminum profiles.

2.Reduce Non-extrusion cycle time

Non-extrusion cycle time-Assuming that the production efficiency of the aluminum profile extrusion is 30 pieces billets per hour, each non-extrusion cycle saves 10 seconds, so 10(second)*30(pcs)*24(hour)=7200 seconds, then you can increase the extrusion time by 2 hours per day, 2 hours means more than 8% of the output is equivalent to a reduction of 8% in conversion costs per kg of profile.

3. Downtime (operation interruption)

Huge losses due to downtime (in our example, the downtime loss is USD10-15.00 per minute), not mention the lost capacity due to no output during the downtime.

4. Extrusion speed

The production efficiency brought by outsourced high-tech aluminum profile molds should be carefully considered.

If the purchased aluminum profile mold can achieve a faster extrusion speed than the mold made by the extrusion manufacturer itself, then a medium-sized order can make up for the additional cost of the purchase of the mold.

5. Using a porous die

The extrusion speed can be increased by 200% (2-hole die) or even 300% (3-hole die), so the economic benefits will be higher.

6.Reduce scrap rate and increase production efficiency and qualification ration

In the process, the generation of scrap materials should be reduced as much as possible.

To minimize scrap in the production and to increase production quantity and maximize the finished product qualification percentage.

7.Using automated and advanced production equipment

Puller and billets heating furnace with hot log shear are recommended in the production, also automatic aluminum profile film applicator, aluminum profile wrapping machine and aluminum profile shape corrector can be used to save the labor cost, reduce the production cost and increase the benefit.

Brightstar Aluminum Machinery provides aluminum extrusion auxiliary equipment, such as aluminum profile shape corrector, aluminum profile automatic film applicator, aluminum profile wrapping machine, brushing and polishing machine for our customers. Total solution and one stop service.
