What cost, if extra coated 1 gsm on your tape ?
The answer is minimum 43.2 tons annually. Yes, don’t be surprised.
How ?? Our calculation as follows:
If the coating speed is 100 meter/min,
if working width is 1000 mm and
If extra coating 1 gsm, then
100 meter/min *60 min *24 hours *1 meter * 1 gsm = 144000 g = 144 kgs per day
Further more,
144 kgs *25 days = 3600 kgs per month
3600 kgs *12 months =43200 kgs per year
