How much does aluminum profile cost per ton? Formula for calculating the price of aluminum profiles
The density of aluminum profiles is only 2.7g/cm3, which is about one-third of the density of steel, copper, or brass (7.83g/cm3, 8.93g/cm3, respectively). Under most environmental conditions, including air, water (or salt water), petrochemicals, and many chemical systems, aluminum can exhibit excellent corrosion resistance. How much does aluminum profile cost per ton? Formula for calculating the price of aluminum profiles.
Mold cost (negligible for large quantities)+aluminum ingot price+labor cost+transportation cost+packaging cost=aluminum profile price
The above are commonly used formulas for calculating the price of aluminum profiles, many of which are key factors that companies can flexibly adjust based on their current business situation and market industries, such as labor costs (processing fees), packaging costs, and mold costs; If it is a long-term order or the order quantity reaches the specified quantity, the mold cost can be ignored;
Note: The cost of aluminum profile molds is based on factors such as profile specifications, simplicity of mold structure, mold specifications, and complexity of production. The price of mold fees is usually between 1500 and 20000 yuan, but the cost of molds will decrease with the increase of profile quantity. After reaching a certain order quantity, the mold fee will be refunded;
(1) Aluminum Ingot Price: Aluminum ingots are raw materials for extrusion production of aluminum profiles, and the price of aluminum ingots will be adjusted according to market conditions (aluminum ingot prices can refer to the Yangtze Nonferrous Metals Network). The average price of aluminum ingots from 2019 to 2020 was 16000 to 16500 yuan/ton, and the price of aluminum ingots in 2020 can reach up to 17000 yuan/ton. When calculating the current price of aluminum profiles, please refer to the current price of aluminum ingots;
(2) Labor costs: Processing costs are essential expenses in the aluminum profile extrusion production process. The average aluminum profile processing cost from 2019 to 2020 was 4000 yuan/ton, which includes labor costs, equipment losses, and water and electricity consumption, all of which need to be included in the production cost. However, these costs can be adjusted by enterprises according to their own business situation and can be flexibly controlled;
(3) Transportation cost: Transportation cost is an indispensable part of the price of aluminum profiles, but it can also be finely adjusted through reasonable calculations (limited to small batch transportation); The transportation cost will vary depending on the transportation route and the long distance traveled;
(4) Packaging cost: The finished aluminum profile needs to be packaged to avoid wear and scratches during handling and transportation, so the packaging cost is a part that is not in harmony or lacking; The ordinary packaging of aluminum profiles is divided into three layers, namely non-woven fabric wrapping layer, expansion film wrapping layer, and kraft paper wrapping layer. At the same time, special packaging treatment can also be carried out according to special needs;
The above is the price per ton for aluminum profiles and the calculation formula for aluminum profile prices. We hope it will be helpful to you. In addition, the thermal conductivity of aluminum alloy is about 50-60% of that of copper, which is beneficial for manufacturing heat exchangers, evaporators, heating appliances, cooking utensils, as well as car cylinder heads and radiators.
