Ad 1) The capital investment of an enameling plant comprises of equipment cost, packing & freight and installation expenses. In addition you have to take in consideration the cost of capital plus necessary building (space), (enlargement of existing) utilities, import duties and/or local supply of specific exclusions from the enameling equipment manufacturer’s scope of supply. The primary drivers for the capital investment are the required hourly production, the chosen enameling process and the level of plant automation. Other drivers are the chosen amortization period, expected equipment utilization and cost of capital.
Ad 2) Direct enameling cost comprises of material cost (for enamel & other
chemicals), labor cost (for handling the goods and/or manual operated process
steps) , energy cost (gas, oil, electricity, compressed air and/or water) and
waste (treatment). The primary drivers for the direct enameling cost are the
chosen enameling process, the performance of the chosen equipment and level of
(process) automation.
