The main operating costs are related to energy consumption, consumable materials, routine maintenance, and labor. Energy usage is primarily associated with UV curing systems and vacuum pumps used during metallization. These components are engineered for efficiency, helping to keep power consumption under control even during continuous production.
Consumables include coating materials such as varnishes, sputtering targets for metallization, and production trays or holders that support the components throughout the process. These elements are selected and managed to ensure stable quality while minimizing waste.
Maintenance costs mainly involve scheduled inspections, routine servicing, and the replacement of wear parts such as filters and spray nozzles. Preventive maintenance programs help extend equipment life and reduce the risk of unexpected downtime.
Labor costs are significantly reduced thanks to the high level of automation. Most operations, from parameter management to cleaning cycles and quality monitoring, require limited manual intervention. In addition, the overall system design focuses on low material consumption and minimal waste generation, resulting in lower operating expenses compared to conventional coating and metallization lines.
