How to reduce your blasting costs
Every day, thousands of manufacturers around the world looking for new ways to reduce their production costs. Among the many dilemmas they face, there is one recurring question: "how to reduce the cost of my shot-blasting operations?"
The problem is that, in reality, abrasives only represents 20% of the total cost of blasting operations. So even if you reduce the amount you spend by 10%, it will only ever translate as a 2% saving on the overall cost of the operation.
Is there a better solution?
Yes, by considering all the elements involved: manpower, machines, maintenance, spare parts, wear, energy and waste, as well as the shot itself. That's what we call the TCO approach : Total Cost of Operation.
