About the cost of owning a car SYSTEM4.
19/11/2012
In short, in Russian prices:
a) there is no license fee;
b) the cost of owning a K4 machine in terms of the cost of the solvent itself becomes LOWER even than perchloric in just 1 year of its use.
The calculation is based on:
SLIM machine load: 15 kg.
Tank capacity: 210 liters.
Cleaning cycles per day: 10.
Working days per week: 5.
Working weeks per year: 50.
In total, 37,500 kg of items were cleaned per year.
The price of PERCHLORATE: 24750 rubles/barrel of 200 liters = 613 EUROS/barrel of 330 kg = 1.86 EUROS/kg with a density of 1.62.
SOLVONK4 price: 2,133 EUROS/200-liter barrel = 11.30 EUROS/kg, including an automatic 10% discount at a density of 0.835.
The cost of solvent for filling:
PERCHLORATE: 632 EUROS.
SOLVONC4: 1981 EUROS.
Solvent losses during operation:
PERCHLORATE: 4.0%.
SOLVONC4: 0.5%.
The cost of "lost" solvent per week:
PERCHLORATE: 30,00 EUROS.
SOLVONC4: 3.75 EUROS.
So, when using a perchloroethylene dry cleaning machine, you have to spend 30 EUROS every week to replenish the solvent, and in the case of the K4 machine, only 3.75 EUROS.
This difference accumulates and after 50 weeks the COST OF OWNING a K4 DRY CLEANING MACHINE becomes equal to "perchloric":
And this is even without taking into account the significantly reduced costs of sludge disposal and energy consumption.
These calculations are confirmed by real data from Russian enterprises that have been using the SYSTEM4 for more than a year.
