EQUIPMENT CHARACTERISTICS

PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT (lines)

The production line to manufacture resin-bonded products (hereinafter referred to as line) incorporates equipment for manufacture of resin bonded products. The equipment is designed to produce roof, tiles, ridge tiles, paving slabs and other resin bonded products.

1. Line characteristics

• Output at the rate of 1700 m² of roof tiles per month operating 3 shifts 5-day working week.
• Installed capacity consumed by the basic equipment at 380V not more than 48kW.
• Electricity consumption- 8.4 kWt per 1 m².
• Number of staff per shift is 4.
• Minimum production area required is 80-100 m².
• Storage area required is 40-60 m².
• Specific electricity consumption (including ancillary equipment) – 17 kWh per 1 m².
• Reverse water supply closed system of 300 litres capacity is used for cooling process.
• The following raw materials are used:
  • plastic waste ( polyethylene HDPE or LDPE , polypropylene, polystyrene, polyethylene terephtalate, ABS plastics);
  • sand;
  • master batches of colour mix.

2. Line consists of

Basic line

Extruder hereinafter referred to as the Extruder is designed for preparation (melting and mixing) of a consistent polymer mix from shredded polymers.

2. Screw Fed Machine

Screw Fed Machine is designed to generate heated composite material from sand, polymer mix & master-batch ready for onward processing in the mold type “matrix-punch”.

3. Hydraulic Pres PG-3

Press components:

Separately supplied equipment

• Rotor shredder – capacity ≥50 kg per hour, the mesh size ø8; N=10kW.
• Film shredder – capacity ≥25 kg per hour, the mesh size ø8; N=5kW.
• Dry ingredients mixer – a concrete mixer is used, volume capacity of  50-250 l; N=1,2 kW.
• Hammer crusher (stone crusher) – capacity ≥50 kg per hour, the mesh size ø8; N=10 kW.

1. Roof-tile Mould

2. Ridge tile mould set (ridge tile – end ridge tiles)

3. Slab moulding tool

4. Screw fed machine for drying sand

2 adjustable heat zones
2 controllable heat zones
Temperature of sand at exit, 175°C (+/- 25)

Ancilliary equipment

• Magnetic separator to extract metal from plastic;
• Screw fed sand dryer to dry sand;
• Vibrosieve to sieve sand;
• Collecting bins – bins for collecting, storing and transportation of shredded plastic waste (film, pieces, sand);
• Trolley for materials and finished products, capacity 200kg;
• Strapping tool – for strapping finished products with packing strip;

From the list of ancillary equipment customer will need to decide which ancillary equipment they  are to purchase, then which ancillary equipment they wish to purchase locally and which equipment they will want to purchase from Britanica.

All ancillary equipment we offer is purchased from outside suppliers. Prices for ancillary equipment which is to be purchased from another company must be confirmed to us by the supplier before we accept your order.

WE CONSIDER

That for a single production line it may be realistic to operate without a separate film shredder. hammer crusher, magnetic separator, or vibrosieve screen.

That the customer may find alternative techniques for drying sand to be available locally.

That the customer should be able to acquire a collecting bin, strapping machine, hand fork truck, scales from local suppliers.

The customer should decide if additional moulding tools for manufacture of paving tiles are required

TERMS OF BUSINESS

Our terms for all purchases are :

Order to be placed 12 weeks before scheduled date of dispatch.

Then:
- 50% of invoice to be prepaid 12 weeks before the scheduled date of dispatch.
- Remainder of invoice to be paid on despatch.

Payment can be to our bank in Ukraine or the UK and can be in the form of a letter of credit  (LOC) to be drawn down when consignment has been handed to the shipper and has cleared Ukraine Customs in Lugansk.

Our prices are ex-works Rovenky. The customer is responsible for cost of transport and shipping.

A formal contract to be exchanged at the time of order.

TRANSPORT

Packing will be to a 20ft Sea Container.  The container will be sufficient for the equipment described above plus a limited quantity of ancillary equipment.  Should more ancillary equipment be required the customer should budget for shipment of a 40’ container.

The Ukraine shipping company Formag is able to provide prices for carriage from Lugansk to the port of Illichesk (Odessa) and onward to a port selected by the customer. It will be prudent to compare prices from Formag with a quote from a shipping company in your own country. To give you some idea a recent quote for carriage of a 20 ft container from the Britanica factory to Illichevsk was $1600 and from Illichevsk to Port Tema, Ghana a further $3850.

An engineer can be provided at the customers location to commission the equipment, instruct a maintenance engineer and train operatives to operate the equipment. For this there will be a charge of $2000 per week plus costs for the Britanica engineer to travel from and back to Ukraine, together with costs for providing suitable accommodation and meals.

The customer is responsible for arranging for the equipment to be installed with all services working and to have available a supply of raw materials for when the Britanica engineer arrives at the customer’s location.

The Engineer will be a Russian language speaker with a knowledge of English language which may be limited to terms for the equipment, processes and materials used.

The prices quoted include a supply of spare parts sufficient to maintain the equipment for 12 month’s use according to the recommended procedures set out in the equipment user and maintenance manual.
