Chapter 414: Trial Production
Once a business manager makes up his mind, things will go like God's help.
At present, there is only one new material on the market that can apply a full range of powder coatings that can be applied to the wheel.
Although there are still many other powder coating companies in China that can produce and can also be applied to the transparent overlay varnish on the wheel, the vast majority of enterprises have made no progress in the middle layer of silver glitter paint.
Therefore, the highest priority choice for new truck wheels is naturally the most beautiful new material.
Zhimei new materials, not only has rich experience in coatings.
Moreover, the powder coating automatic line companies that cooperate with it are also quite experienced.
Therefore, it is unceremonious to say that at least at present, the powder coating company that can be selected for new truck wheels is the only one in the United States.
Since there is no choice, the person with the new card will directly shoot a person and contact Zhimei New Materials.
It is naturally good to have a business to do, so Zhimei New Materials naturally does not have any difficulties, and we have what you want.
Not to mention this kind of money-making thing.
Therefore, a cooperation agreement was reached around July, and by September, the new truck wheels could already be sprayed with a powder coating line to coat the wheels.
Although the new truck wheels, three fully automatic powder coating wheel production lines have been installed.
But as the actual general manager, Ji Shunhua is still unconvinced.
What if the installation of your equipment is completed? Even if all the shareholders of the company basically agree to the installation of these three production lines? But Ji Shunhua still feels uncomfortable and does not believe it.
Once a person is extremely unhappy with something, then subconsciously, what he wants to do most is to destroy it, find out his weakness, and destroy it.
So when the commissioning is complete and ready for production.
Ji Shunhua came to the production workshop in person, just to find out his weaknesses, and then criticize this matter as a prophet.
Of course, we must pay attention to the ways and means, after all, it is the majority of shareholders who agree with this matter.
And now Ji Shunhua urgently needs an event that can establish his prestige, so that he can get rid of the "black cauldron" that the entire company's business has been declining in the first half of the year.
The powder coating of the wheel hub is simple and complex.
Looking at the rows of wheels hanging on the automatic line, Ji Shunhua simply watched without blinking.
Workers will one by one, the polished wheels are hung on the assembly line, and then go through a series of processes such as alkali washing, pickling, phosphating, drying and so on.
Naturally, all of this is automated, which is why a production line is so expensive.
If it is just a powder automatic spraying line, the cost is about 400,000 yuan.
However, the price of this fully automatic production line, which includes various processes, is more than 2 million.
The three production lines are actually three major processes, with a total cost of more than 5 million.
Such a production line cannot be established by many companies, after all, the input cost is too high.
In fact, Ji Shunhua is quite entangled now, thinking about good and bad.
As the general manager of a national No. 1 wheel hub company, he naturally hopes that the company's business volume will rise steadily, so that he will naturally get more benefits.
However, these three powder coating lines were not in line with his philosophy, so he thought that the results would not be satisfactory after they came out.
Three fully automatic production lines, freely shuttling in a large baking oven.
All three fully automated powder coating lines need to be fed into the oven so that the paint can cure at high temperatures.
Therefore, in order to save resources, the three production lines will pass through the unified baking oven, and where the two production lines intersect, there will be workers who manually transfer the semi-finished products sprayed in the previous process to another production line.
A wheel that has just been polished goes through a series of processes before being turned into a finished product.
It takes about three and a half hours.
This period of time is sufficient and smooth, constantly observing the relationship between the various production lines, as well as the standardized process of workers' operations.
These things are the result of Zhimei New Materials, which dispatched technicians to train workers on new truck wheels.
Ji Shunhua naturally wanted to find fault with it, so he observed it very carefully.
But the various operations of the workers seem very natural, and this group of workers are all transferred from the paint spraying line.
But I always feel that this group of workers is like a powder coating, more than ten years of workers, and the operation is very proficient.
This made Ji Shunhua feel a little frustrated, and even a little angry.
At least for now, it is difficult to find faults and deficiencies from the assembly line.
So now it's just a matter of how the finished product is?
In the morning, basically all the shareholders came to the production workshop, because this is the first large-scale assembly line production of wheels, so they are not very relieved, and they must come to have a look.
The basic management of the new truck wheels is also waiting in this workshop to start work at 8 o'clock in the morning, and the finished product will not come out until at least 11:30 o'clock.
Waiting is often the most painful, no matter what you're waiting for.
Although where the three production lines intersect, there are two places where you can see how well the semi-finished products are performing.
However, not many people have taken a look at it, the first is that the semi-finished product does not determine the effect of the finished product, and if the semi-finished product is not eye-catching, then it is undoubtedly a torment for the person who sees it.
So most of the stakeholders are just waiting at the finish line.
It was almost half past eleven, and most people were nervous.
In fact, this result will determine many things.
The shareholders of the company need to explain that if the quality of the product is good, then it proves that most of the shareholders have made the right decision.
The workers are also waiting for the results, basically the point is out, and the workers know that spraying paint is very harmful to the body.
However, after spraying powder coating, they basically don't smell at all, which proves that if they change to powder coating, it will be a good thing for their body.
For the majority of the managers who are opposed, they also need an outcome.
If you spray powder paint this time, the effect of the wheel hub is the same as the effect of paint, although it cannot be said that they have no eyes, but there is nothing wrong with saying that there is no vision in the previous sentence.
Each has its own appeal, so everyone's expression will be a little different.
However, there are still many people who have illusions, although they know that Wuhe wheels and Fangnan wheels must have made achievements in powder coating.
So, many times, people always like to hold on to fantasies.
