How to improve the cost-effectiveness of defoamers and control procurement costs?
Cost control when purchasing defoamers is a concern for many enterprises. Today, the editor will introduce defoamers from three aspects to quickly improve their cost-effectiveness and directly reduce procurement costs.
1、 The performance of defoamers will affect the smooth progress of production
The defoaming and anti foaming properties of defoamers are crucial during operation. If the foam cannot be eliminated completely and quickly, it indicates that the defoaming performance of this defoamer is relatively low. In the production process of the product, the foam produced for the first time may bubble again before it is completely eliminated, which not only wastes time, but also affects the production process and efficiency. Of course, not only does defoamer have a fast defoaming speed, but also a long defoaming time is important. If the foam suppression time is too short, it is necessary to continuously add defoamers, which will increase the dosage of defoamers and thus increase costs.
2、 Choose different packaging of defoamers based on different dosage
The packaging of defoamers is basically the same in the market, including 50kg, 120kg, and 200kg packaged in plastic or iron drums. Although the packaging weight is basically the same, the price may vary due to the different types of drums used by each defoamer factory. At this point, customers need to choose the appropriate packaging based on their consumption needs, as different sizes of packaging will directly affect the cost-effectiveness of the purchase. For example, some companies use a multiple of 50 kilograms, while others use a multiple of 120 kilograms. At this time, procurement personnel need to determine the daily usage and total purchase quantity, so as to make reasonable choices and avoid unnecessary waste caused by the daily opening of packaging exceeding the daily usage.
3、 The specific amount of defoamer added
Even in the same industry, different production processes can lead to different amounts of defoamers, which means that the proportion of defoamer usage is different. Although adding more or less defoamer will not affect the defoaming effect. However, if the amount of defoamer used is small, it may not be a concern, but if the amount of defoamer used is large and the formula ratio is a bit higher, it will increase the cost greatly. So clarifying the formula proportion will save you a lot of costs.
