In the production process of firebrick, choosing the right press is very important to improve production efficiency, reduce cost and ensure product quality. Many manufacturers are moving from traditional friction presses to more advanced electric screw presses.

First of all, let's look at the price difference between electric screw presses and friction presses. Taking 315 tons of electric screw press as an example, its price is usually about 30% to 50% higher than the friction press of the same tonnage. However, considering the long-term operation and production efficiency, this additional upfront investment is well worth it.

Take a concrete case to illustrate. Suppose a firebrick manufacturer has two 315-ton presses: one is a traditional friction press and the other is an advanced electric screw press. In the same production cycle, the friction press produced 10,000 firebricks, while the electric screw press produced 15,000 bricks. This means that the production efficiency of the electric screw press is 1.5 times that of the friction press.

High production efficiency means higher output and lower unit product costs. Taking the production cost of each firebrick as an example, the cost of the friction press is 5 yuan/piece, while the cost of the electric screw press is 3.3 yuan/piece. This is mainly because the electric screw press has low energy consumption, relatively low maintenance costs, and its high degree of automation reduces manual operation costs.

In addition, electric screw presses also have advantages in terms of product quality. Because the force and stroke can be precisely controlled, higher quality firebricks can be produced. These bricks have a more uniform density and lower porosity, which results in better performance during use.

To sum up, although the price of the 315 ton electric screw press is about 30% to 50% higher than the friction press, its high production efficiency and high product quality can significantly reduce the unit product cost. At the same time, the low energy consumption and maintenance costs of electric screw presses also save a lot of expenses for enterprises. Therefore, for the pursuit of efficient, high-quality production of refractory brick manufacturers, the choice of electric screw press is undoubtedly wise.
