Chapter 47 Successive Production
On the other side there is a similarly shaped coarse salt refining unit, except that a heated cooktop is added under the cylindrical cauldron.
By adding the rattan bark powder of soap vine used by the poor people in the slums to wash their clothes in the boiled coarse brine, a large amount of foam was produced to help the salt crystals crystallize, and the remaining brine was added to lime water to obtain magnesium hydroxide precipitation.
These two production lines can produce 1,500 pounds of sugar, molasses and refined salt per day, as well as almost 100 pounds of magnesium hydroxide, which can be used as bricks to fire refractory bricks in brick factories.
This output has increased by 30 times compared to the original small sugar workshop, and Old John was taken to the completed white sugar refined salt factory by Xia Lin to see the centrifuge thirty or forty times larger than his own small workshop centrifuge began to rotate under unknown power, and his expression was dumbfounded.
After Xia Lin proposed to let him manage the sugar and refined salt factory, he looked at the forty or so people in the factory with anxiety on their faces, but he still accepted the position under Xia Lin's persuasion.
The 1,500 pounds of sugar and refined salt a day also brought a daily profit of 60 gold lunt to the industrial park, and the market for white sugar in the imperial capital also expanded rapidly.
As for the molasses, the molasses produced was stored by Charin for subsequent brewing, and was only sold on a small scale for 5 copper peeps a piece near the factory.
Fortunately, the imperial capital has extremely convenient water conservancy and transportation conditions, and merchants from all over the world are willing to buy white sugar as a profit point for the return trip when they see a new commodity with a high unit price and high profits that does not occupy a space, otherwise Xia Lin is still a little worried that the market will not be able to digest the white sugar he produces.
It is naturally impossible for the Sugar Guild not to see such a huge market, and it is impossible for them not to be tempted to watch the Greg Chamber of Commerce and Xia Lin Karri enter the gold fight.
It's just that there were originally many factions within the Sugar Guild, among which the enlightened nobles and merchants who were inclined to the princess had already responded to the princess's call and contributed to the fundraising of the industrial park.
This gave those who supported the royal daughter the opportunity to participate in the pie, and at the same time, it also made up for the remaining 600 gold lunt capital holes in the Xialin Industrial Park.
Therefore, even if the other members of the guild strongly demanded that Xia Lin's sugar factory be sanctioned from raw materials, Xia Lin was still able to buy enough raw materials from many nobles and merchants who had sugar cane estates in the south or had brown sugar sales channels.
After the sugar and salt factory was put into operation, Xia Lin asked the dwarven masters to use machine tools to produce a batch of 200 shuttle looms.
One of the most critical components, the spring, is carburized and quenched after winding the wrought iron wire, and the rest of the wooden parts are machined with ease and pleasure like cutting tofu with a knife.
During this period of time, the Greg Chamber of Commerce bought roving and sold spun yarn on a large scale, and the price of spinning yarn in the market was at a low point.
But when the mills in which Charlin used the shuttle loom recruited enough weavers in the slums to start producing cloth, they found that the market was turning a little strangely.
Obviously, the Greg Chamber of Commerce and its friends are still selling a large number of spinning yarns, but the price of spinning yarns is constantly rising, and the price of cloth has fallen slightly.
Moreover, the cloth of the Greg Chamber of Commerce was much wider than theirs, and after being sold at a price of twenty copper pesas lower than theirs, it was naturally welcomed by the buyers of the imperial capital.
Could it be that the Greg Chamber of Commerce is not satisfied with ruling the spinning industry, and has to extend its hand into their weaving industry?
Some of the disinterested members of the textile industry were furious again, but this time their joint sanctions were completely useless to the Greg Chamber of Commerce.
First of all, the Greg Chamber of Commerce was already a giant in the spinning industry at this time, using technology sharing means to dominate most of today's spinning chambers.
Spinning is the upstream industry of the weaving industry, and if it offends the Greg Chamber of Commerce, many small weaving chambers of commerce may not be able to get enough spinning yarn for production.
Secondly, Xia Lin has instructed the Greg Chamber of Commerce to release rumors among the enlightened faction, and they will also share the technology of the new loom as before, and the chamber of commerce that needs the new loom only needs to pay a "patent fee" to get the authorization to use the new loom.
Such a large-scale alliance of interests naturally offended many people, but it also made the Greg Chamber of Commerce a pawn of a huge alliance of interests, and the united forces of the enlightened faction supported him, using the new technology provided by Xia Lin to fight everywhere in these markets, invincible.
At the same time, it also brings a steady stream of profits to the shareholders of Xialin and the industrial park.
The finished cotton cloth on the market is a large Arle, that is, about 1.5 square meters of cotton cloth, the price is 3 silver mar, and the cost is usually more than two silver mar.
And the use of the shuttle loom to weave a larger canvas, a large Al cost is only one silver mar sixty copper bis, even if the price is set at two silver mar, the textile mill can also make a lot of profits, but Xia Lin and Eren don't want to tear their faces with the textile guild for the time being, so they didn't use such a red luoluo price reduction tactic.
Even so, the cotton cloth produced by the textile mill is more competitive than other chambers of commerce that use traditional looms.
After all, a skilled female worker on a traditional loom can weave a two-meter-long cotton cloth in a day, and if you want to weave a cotton cloth with a larger area, you need two people to cooperate and throw shuttles on both sides.
The shuttle loom designed by Xia Lin can weave fifteen meters of cotton cloth a day by a skilled female worker, and more than five meters by raw hands, and the area is naturally larger than that of traditional looms.
Therefore, after the cotton cloth produced by the textile mills accounted for a large part of the cloth market in the imperial capital, the textile mills were able to bring 30 gold lunt profits to the industrial park every day.
The last thing that was put into operation was the soda ash plant that Xia Lin had in mind, with soda ash, caustic soda can be made, and with caustic soda, soap can be made.
In addition to soap, soda ash has many other uses, such as neutralizing the acids produced by fermentation when pastries are made, as a fixing agent on dyes, speeding up the decomposition of cellulose in materials when making paper, and in the manufacture of glass.
The preparation method of soda ash is also quite simple, using the Lubran method to remove the water of the three raw materials of miscanthus salt, limestone, charcoal according to a certain proportion in the crucible at a temperature of 950 to 1000 degrees Celsius, you can prepare soda ash, calcium sulfide and carbon dioxide.
The product is crushed and ground finely, filtered in dissolved water, and the solution is evaporated and crystallized to be the finished soda ash, and the filter is black calcium sulfide, which can be used as an insecticide and luminous paint.
The arrangement of the soda ash plant is similar to that of the brick factory and the cement plant, in that several vertical kilns are used for reaction calcination, and then the waterwheel power is used for grinding discs.
After the first trial production and good quality products, Xia Lin finally completed the first phase of the industrial park plan.
So far, each factory has invested a total of 1,237 gold lundes, and the rest of the silver mar copper biss is not counted, and the daily profit has reached 110 gold lund, which is still in the case that the products of the brick factory, cement factory, machine tool factory, and soda ash plant are not sold to the outside world.
