APPENDIX E: ELECTROCOAT CALCULATOR

摘要

"Reduce costs while maintaining or improving quality" is a common cry heard in the electrocoat industry. Electrocoaters are required to provide a high-quality product at an ever-reduced cost. Reducing costs can be tricky or impossible if the right information is not known. A hidden cost might be missed or an area with a higher return could be overlooked. This section will discuss how to calculate and determine some of the major costs that are associated with an electrocoat system. Calculations discussed range from energy consumption to paint usage. The formulas and methods used in. this section are for estimation purposes―actual cost could vary. The formulas and calculations used in this section are presented in an easy-to-follow, step-by-step format, with explanations and examples. Worksheets that simplify the use of the formulas a calculations are included at the end of the section.
