After the celebration of the traditional meeting of suppliers of injectors, Interempresas-plastics universal wanted to know the opinion of the main Spanish suppliers about current issues of concern to the sector in our country.
Joaquín Rabinad, Ferromatik.
Reducing the consumption of machines is one of the trends that we hear about more. It is a simple fashion or really Spanish plastics transformer calculated rigorously its production costs including energy consumption?
The reality today is that the lack of market for transformers has been relegated to a second term investment in reduction of energy costs on businesses. In the calculation of cost of the piece injected into energy consumption has a relative influence, we speaking for example the cost of producing a plug:
- Material: 70%
- Energy: 7.0%
- Cast: 6.5%
- Machine: 4.5%
- Losses: 1%
- Other costs: 11.0%
Electrical machines provide a significant saving of energy and precision. We need to know with which of the two can quickly recoup the price of electric hydraulic differential. If we can reduce the wastage with accurate amortization is much faster.
Talk about the future is difficult. But, does he not dare describe the panorama of the Spanish plastics industry by 2015?
Predict the future is not easy, and almost always, if we do, we are influenced by which we live today. What is certain is that the crisis has accentuated the lack of confidence in the future, and this paralyzes many investments that will affect the transformers and all in general. Let us not forget that the majority of the increase in work with transformers comes from those who have been closing. The picture is changing already today.
Their main arguments of sale in 2010 put in first-line matters relating to costs or to the injection technique?
We know that the market that will open in 2010 will be to reduce costs, or machinery that the processor has new projects and not available. Therefore, our arguments will be aimed towards electric machines and special machines.
