How to reduce the production cost by optimizing extrusion equipment and production process?

The Middle East conflict has triggered a global surge in crude oil and plastic raw material prices, exacerbating supply shortages—a long-term trend. In this context, Yongte's high-efficiency extrusion equipment emerges as your optimal solution for cost reduction: featuring lower wear, energy efficiency, high output, and consistent quality.

Improve efficiency and reduce waste

• Enhance efficiency and reduce waste by strictly controlling material loss through recycling of trimmings (with a proportion controlled within 20%). This reduces loss from 8%-12% to 3%-5%, lowering unit costs by 5%-10%.
• Process optimization and equipment upgrades: Upgrading high-torque twin-screw drives and high-efficiency heating coils (achieving 20%-70% energy savings) to enhance raw material utilization by 10%-15%; reducing molding cycle time and energy consumption.
• Enhance automation and yield rates by implementing robotic arms and online inspection to reduce manual labor and defective products. Promote rapid mold changes and standardized operations to improve equipment OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness).
• Lightweight design: By optimizing product structure and reducing wall thickness through DFM (Design for Manufacturability), significant cost savings can be achieved per gram of weight reduction in raw materials.

Formulation and Materials: Substitution + Filling for Direct Cost Reduction.

• Filling: Under the premise of meeting performance requirements, calcium carbonate, talcum powder, and silicon micro-powder are added to replace 10%-30% of the resin, significantly reducing unit costs.
• Material substitution: Replacing part of new materials with recycled materials can reduce costs by 15%-20%; high-end products utilize modified materials to enhance added value and mitigate the impact of raw material prices.
• Scalable recycled materials: Establishing in-house recycling systems or procuring compliant recycled materials, then proportionally blending them across food/non-food sectors to reduce total raw material costs.
