—Green light on Linde CRYOCLEAN®Snow application technology
2016年1月26日,林德(韩国)与全球领先的汽车塑料配件制造商Plakor Co., Ltd签订协议,为塑料汽车用品生产提供完整解决方案,并向牙山工厂供应液态二氧化碳。
Plakor主要为现代与起亚汽车公司生产保险杠与内部塑料配件,是这两家韩国汽车厂商的主要合作伙伴。之前Plakor在喷涂工艺之前,主要采用气枪方式进行产品表面清洁。
林德(韩国)的应用销售团队充分了解客户需求,向他们深入介绍了CRYOCLEAN®Snow应用的诸多优势。在林德东亚区的技术与设备支持下,林德(韩国)在牙山工厂成功完成了3轮产品线测试,并对CRYOCLEAN®Snow应用的有效性进行了评估。
与Plakor原有工艺及其最近考虑的技术(擦拭清洁法)进行对比测试,结果表明林德的CRYOCLEAN®Snow应用可显著减少缺陷产品的数量。此外,测试结果还客户验证了这项应用的诸多优势,包括低成本和低维护等。林德(韩国)精益求精的工作精神得了牙山工厂的认可,最终达成了CRYOCLEAN®Snow技术的采购,并签署了为期7年的液态二氧化碳供应合同。
根据目前的状态与安装进度来看,预期的二氧化碳销售量将为每月40吨。自2016年4月起,在合同期限内可产生高达10亿韩元的销售额。此外,Plakor也有意将CRYOCLEAN®Snow技术应用到其他工厂,包括韩国国内乃至国际市场比如捷克共和国的工厂等等。
Green light on Linde CRYOCLEAN®Snow application technology
On January 26th 2016, Linde Korea clinched a deal with Plakor Co., Ltd, a global leader in automotive plastics offering a complete solution to plastic automotive applications, to supply liquid CO2 for Asan plant.
Plakor is a company that produces car bumpers and internal plastic parts for Hyundai and Kia Motor as primary partner. Previously they have used air guns to clean the product surface prior to the painting process.
Fully understanding customer’s situation and requirements, Linde Korea’s application sales team approached and explained the advantages CRYOCLEAN®Snow application to their operation. With technical and equipment support from REA, Linde Korea successfully completed line tests for 3 times at Asan plant and evaluated the effectiveness of the CRYOCLEAN®Snow application.
Comparing to the current process as well as the newly considered application (wiper cleaning method), the results has shown that Linde’s CRYOCLEAN®Snow application had dramatically reduced the number of defective products. In addition, the test results have demonstrated and confirmed to the customer that there are many benefits to customers when applying the application; low operating cost and maintenance effort, etc. As a result of the hard work and resilience, Linde Korea sold the CRYOCLEAN®Snow application and also won a 7-year liquid CO2 supply contact with Asan plant.
Based on the current status and installation schedule, we expect to bring volume sales of 40 tons per month of liquid CO2 and a revenue over 1 billion won over the contract duration starting from April 2016. In addition, Plakor is positive about applying CRYOCLEAN®Snow application plants elsewhere within the country as well as globally in Czech Republic.
