Market competitiveness of electrostatic spraying

At present, the most important thing about electrostatic spraying is the environmental protection advantage, but entrepreneurs are not philanthropists, and no one can bear the money to contribute to environmental protection. Whether electrostatic spraying can bring economic benefits is the concern of entrepreneurs, which involves cost and sales. , Painting costs mainly include labor costs, material costs, equipment costs, etc. The sales mainly depend on the attractiveness of the product to consumers and whether it can be sold. 1. The labor cost is large. Ordinary paint spraying is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. It has to go through a multi-bottom and multi-face spraying process. In order to ensure the quality of the paint and avoid defects such as orange peel and blistering, each paint process needs to be dried and polished. , Each finished product takes more than 2 hours, and the labor hour wages are the bulk of the cost. Only a small number of employees are required to operate and monitor the production process, saving labor costs. Using electrostatic spraying for one-time molding, the powder spraying time only takes half a minute, and then the drying time is about 3 minutes. The finished product production time does not exceed 20 minutes. Compared with paint spraying, it saves a lot of time and cost. Electrostatic spraying has obvious advantages in labor cost. 2. If the material cost can be saved, the material cost does not account for a small proportion of the total production cost, and the fluctuation of the price has little impact on the production cost. Paint spraying has a low utilization rate of paint. Spilled paint mist and sticking paint can be seen everywhere in the spray booth. Dust flying when each layer of paint is polished is a loss of paint. In general, spray paint The utilization rate of the paint by the process is only about 30%. At the same time, the cumulative energy consumption generated by multiple drying cannot be underestimated. Although powder coatings are more expensive, the utilization of raw materials is also higher. The electrostatically sprayed powder can be easily recycled, and the utilization rate of raw materials can reach 90%. One-time molding, fast drying, and energy consumption is reduced by 60% compared with ordinary paint spraying. Therefore, the overall material cost of the two is comparable. 3. In addition to the environmental protection investment necessary for the treatment of the three wastes, the PK common solvent-based paint with environmental protection investment and equipment cost must pay a high environmental protection tax under the high pressure of the policy, otherwise it will face the risk of reducing production and stopping production. Powder electrostatic coating uses air as a dispersant, and the powder is recycled without producing volatile substances, odors, and three-waste disposal problems, and the investment in environmental protection is greatly reduced. However, due to the short development time of powder coating, the immature equipment research and development, and the high one-time investment cost in the early stage, it is difficult for small and medium-sized enterprises to afford it. Large enterprises may be able to balance the high equipment costs with their production capacity advantages. Click to add a picture description (up to 60 words). The stronger the editing strength and the larger the production capacity, the more suitable it is to apply electrostatic spraying, replacing long-term environmental protection investment with one-time equipment investment. 4. How is the consumer acceptance? Painted furniture has been widely accepted by consumers after a long-term market promotion. Although the application of powder electrostatic spraying on plastics and metals is very mature, it still needs to stand the test of time if it is used in furniture. There are various colors and styles of paint, not only can be used as solid color paint, but also can produce wood-colored parts with texture changes. Powder coating has a short development time, and currently only single-color workpieces can be sprayed. If you want rich surface effects, you can 3D print on the surface of the workpiece. This decorative effect is more attractive to consumers, but at present, this emerging technology of 3D printing is not mastered by every factory. Therefore, in terms of market sales, paint coating currently has more advantages, but electrostatic spraying has more development prospects. In general, paint coating and electrostatic spraying have their own advantages and disadvantages. Electrostatic spraying is completely comparable. Why is it not as widely used as paint spraying? Judging from our survey results, a complete electrostatic spraying production line costs millions of dollars in equipment costs, which makes many factories who want to try shrink back. If the cost of equipment can be reduced through technological reform, the electrostatic spraying industry can break through the bottleneck.
