Case study:

Hydraulic coupling – AISI 316

Information:

    • Material: AISI 316 (bar work)
    • Machine: NAKAMURA WT-150
    • Initial refrigerant pressure: 25 Bar
    • New refrigerant pressure with SCS unit: 70 Bar
    • Cycle time reduction: 25%
    • Efficiency: increased from 80% to 90%
  • Production increase > 30%
  • High-pressure unit cost: 18,000 Euro
  • Machine time cost: €40/h
  • Working day: 3 shifts x 5 days/week
  • ROI = €18,000/(€40/hour x 30%) = 1.500 hours = 62.5 working days = Approx. 2.95 months

Production increase > 30%

ROI (Return On Investment) < 3 months
