How do degreasers reduce costs in industry?

Degreasers are indispensable chemicals in industrial production and are widely used in metal processing, machinery manufacturing, electronic equipment, automobile manufacturing and other industries. Their main function is to remove grease, dirt and impurities on metal surfaces or workpieces to ensure the quality of subsequent processing or coating. However, the cost of using degreasers is high, especially in large-scale production. How to effectively reduce costs has become a focus of attention for enterprises. This article will explore the strategies for reducing costs of degreasers in industry from multiple perspectives.

1. Optimize the selection of degreasers

1.1 Choose an efficient degreasing agent

The performance of the degreaser directly affects its cost of use. An efficient degreaser can complete the degreasing task in a shorter time, reducing the amount of degreaser used and the operation time. Enterprises should choose the appropriate degreaser according to specific needs and avoid using products with excessive performance. For example, for mild oil pollution, a mild degreaser can be selected, while for severe oil pollution, a strong degreaser needs to be selected.

1.2 Environmentally friendly degreasing agent

As environmental regulations become increasingly stringent, companies need to choose degreasers that meet environmental standards. Although the initial cost of environmentally friendly degreasers may be higher, the waste liquid treatment cost generated during use is lower, and it is less corrosive to equipment, which can extend the service life of equipment and thus reduce overall costs.

2. Improve degreasing process

2.1 Optimizing degreasing time and temperature

The effect of degreasing agent is closely related to degreasing time and temperature. Through experiments and data analysis, enterprises can find the best degreasing time and temperature combination to ensure the degreasing effect and reduce the amount of degreasing agent used. For example, appropriately increasing the degreasing temperature can speed up the degreasing process, but too high a temperature may cause the degreasing agent to evaporate too quickly, increasing costs.

2.2 Use multi-stage degreasing process

For workpieces with severe grease contamination, a multi-stage degreasing process can be used. First, use a low-concentration degreasing agent for preliminary cleaning to remove most of the grease, and then use a high-concentration degreasing agent for fine cleaning. This method can reduce the use of high-concentration degreasing agents and reduce overall costs.

3. Improve the utilization rate of degreasing agent

3.1 Recycling of degreasing agent

After a period of use, the concentration of the degreasing agent will gradually decrease, but it still has a certain degreasing ability. Enterprises can recycle and reuse the degreasing agent through filtration, precipitation and other methods to extend its service life and reduce the purchase of new degreasing agents.

3.2 Control the amount of degreasing agent added

During the degreasing process, the amount of degreasing agent added should be controlled according to actual needs to avoid excessive use. Enterprises can use automatic dosing systems or regularly test the concentration of degreasing agents to ensure that the amount of degreasing agent used is within a reasonable range.

4. Reduce waste liquid treatment costs

4.1 Use environmentally friendly degreasing agent

Environmentally friendly degreasing agents have lower waste liquid treatment costs during use and cause less pollution to the environment. Enterprises should give priority to environmentally friendly degreasing agents to reduce waste liquid treatment costs.

4.2 Waste liquid recovery and treatment

The waste liquid generated after the use of degreasing agent needs to be treated to meet environmental protection requirements. Enterprises can use waste liquid recovery technology to recycle the degreasing agent components in the waste liquid and reduce the cost of waste liquid treatment. In addition, enterprises can also cooperate with professional waste liquid treatment companies to optimize the waste liquid treatment process and reduce treatment costs.

5. Equipment maintenance and management

5.1 Regular maintenance of degreasing equipment

The normal operation of degreasing equipment is crucial to degreasing effect and cost control. Enterprises should regularly maintain and service degreasing equipment to ensure that it is in working condition. For example, regular cleaning of degreasing tanks and replacement of filters can extend the service life of equipment, reduce failure rates, and reduce maintenance costs.

5.2 Use of automated equipment

Automation equipment can improve the efficiency and stability of the degreasing process and reduce the errors and waste caused by manual operation. For example, the automatic dosing system can automatically adjust the amount of degreasing agent added according to the concentration of the degreasing agent, ensuring that the amount of degreasing agent used is within a reasonable range and avoiding excessive use.

6. Training and management

6.1 Staff Training

The skills and operation level of employees directly affect the efficiency and cost of degreasing agents. Enterprises should regularly train employees to improve their operation skills and environmental awareness, and ensure that they can use degreasing agents reasonably and reduce waste during the degreasing process.

6.2 Establishing a cost control system

Enterprises should establish a sound cost control system and strictly manage the use of degreasers. For example, they should formulate degreaser use standards, conduct regular cost analysis, set cost control targets, etc. to ensure that the cost of degreasers is within a controllable range.

7. Procurement and supply chain management

7.1 Bulk Purchase

Bulk purchase can reduce the purchase cost of degreasers. Enterprises can reasonably arrange the purchase quantity of degreasers according to production plans and inventory conditions to strive for more favorable purchase prices.

7.2 Supplier Cooperation

Establishing long-term cooperative relations with suppliers can obtain more favorable prices and better services. Enterprises can optimize the procurement process of degreasers and reduce procurement costs through close cooperation with suppliers.

in conclusion

The cost control of degreasing agents in industry is a systematic project that needs to be optimized and managed from multiple aspects. By selecting efficient and environmentally friendly degreasing agents, improving degreasing processes, increasing the utilization rate of degreasing agents, reducing waste liquid treatment costs, strengthening equipment maintenance and management, conducting employee training and establishing a cost control system, enterprises can effectively reduce the cost of using degreasing agents and improve production efficiency and economic benefits. In actual operations, enterprises should formulate appropriate cost control strategies based on their own production characteristics and needs to ensure that the use of degreasing agents can minimize costs while ensuring quality.
