What is the cost of setting up an aluminum extrusion factory?

The cost of setting up an aluminum profile factory is nothing more than: Labor, water and electricity, natural gas, mold costs, maintenance costs, scrap costs, additional processing costs for aluminum billets, rent costs, equipment depreciation, financial costs, management costs, etc., and one set of aluminum extrusion production line.

Because the size of the aluminum profile that is produced determines the specifications of the extrusion line you need to use.  

Aluminum extrusion machine with different specifications are applied, the size of the aluminum extrusion produced will be different.

The larger the aluminum profiles size, the bigger tonnage capacity the extrusion press will be applied.

In the production, according to the shape and size of the section of an aluminum profile, the size of the extrusion mold is determined, and it is determined whether the extrusion mold is a flat die or a porthole die.

If the mold size is known, the tonnage capacity of the extrusion machine is basically determined.

If we want to set up a new aluminum extrusion factory, here is the detailed information for the cost

600T aluminum extrusion press, billets heating furnace with hot log shear, mold heating oven, cooling bed and run out table, puller and aging furnace, the estimated cost is 250,000.00-500,000.00USD based on different brand extrusion machine and auxiliary equipment;

800T aluminum extrusion press, billets heating furnace with hot log shear, mold heating oven, cooling bed and run out table, puller and aging furnace, the estimated cost is 300,000.00-600,000.00USD based on different brand extrusion machine and auxiliary equipment;

1000T aluminum extrusion press, billets heating furnace with hot log shear, mold heating oven, cooling bed and run out table, puller and aging furnace, the estimated cost is 400,000.00-750,000.00USD based on different brand extrusion machine and auxiliary equipment.

That is only for aluminum extrusion production line machine cost.

We have to consider the shipment freight cost, the installation and commissioning cost.

Also for a new factory, the gas connection and installation, the environmental impact assessment, the operation forklift and aluminum billets cost (outsourcing) and working fund will be considered

For one aluminum extrusion production line, one shift workers are at least 5 person and 2 shifts-3 shifts will be 10-15 person.

So the cost of setting up one aluminum extrusion factory will be at least 350,000.00USD.

This aluminum extrusion production line is only for mill finish aluminum extrusion, without any surface treatment. 

If we want to make aluminum billets ourselves, the melting and casting equipment will be necessary.

If we want to make aluminum profiles anodized or powder coated, the anodizing workshop and or powder coated workshop will be necessary for the operation.
