In some areas the cold period can last for up to eight months. \u00a0Sub-zero temperatures are recorded even in October. \u00a0This fact makes a small antifreeze production business quite promising.<\/p>\n
One important area of antifreeze liquid us is cleaning of car windscreens (windscreen cleaners). Another is cooling of the engine.<\/p>\n
In the cases described above, antifreeze liquids have different functions, and their composition is also different.<\/p>\n
Water is not suitable for cooling car engines, because it is subject to freezing at sub-zero temperatures. \u00a0Subsequent heating of ice in the system leads to expansion and damage of engine parts. \u00a0Antifreeze is a different story. \u00a0Even in the bitter cold, it has a consistency that is absolutely not harmful for engine system components. \u00a0Usually it looks like fine crumbs or slurry. \u00a0Antifreeze is poured into a radiator and an expansion tank.<\/p>\n
A clean car windscreen is not a luxury in the cold season, but rather a way of ensuring road safety. \u00a0After all, ice crust substantially worsens the view and it is virtually impossible for a driver to objectively assess the current situation on the road in such circumstances. \u00a0Shampoos or other detergents are often added to antifreeze in order to keep windscreens clean.<\/p>\n
Antifreeze and windscreen washer fluids are made on the basis of alcohol, glycol and glycerin.<\/p>\n
Shady manufacturers of antifreeze often use methyl alcohol. \u00a0It is relatively cheap and allows a good profit margin. \u00a0But the whole problem is that this substance is rather toxic and can affect a human body not only after ingestion, but also after inhalation of high concentrations of its vapors.<\/p>\n
Isopropyl alcohol is not as volatile and it forms a film on the glass which stays longer. \u00a0However, it has specific pungent odor that can even break through the odor of fragrances added to antifreeze.<\/p>\n
Glycols have the ability to increase freezing resistance of the product in which they are used as an additive. \u00a0Such substances (e.g., ethylene glycol) can ensure a liquid state even when the temperatures drops to – 60\u00b0C.<\/p>\n
Given the above, as well as taking in account the experience of entrepreneurs engaged in the production of antifreeze, we can name the most commonly used components. \u00a0These include: isopropyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, flavoring agents (to remove unpleasant odors), water, surfactants (to remove contaminants from the surface of the glass) and dyes.<\/p>\n
Water must be absolutely pure, without any sediment. \u00a0There is no stringent standard for antifreeze color, but it is better to give it a light blue hue. \u00a0Also you will need plastic containers or bottles for bottling and labels.<\/p>\n
Production of antifreeze or other non-freezing liquid does not require any deep knowledge in chemistry. \u00a0The overall antifreeze production technology can be formulated as the following sequence of operations:<\/p>\n
This technology is the same both for the production of windshield washer fluid and antifreeze. \u00a0The only difference is the composition of additives.<\/p>\n
You need the following equipment for the production of non-freezing liquids:<\/p>\n
Certainly each type of equipment is important, but particular attention should be paid to the USB-type plant manufactured by GlobeCore. \u00a0It ensures high-quality mixing of two to five initial components. \u00a0The advantages of this equipment include: precise control of dosage of each component, significant reduction of mixing cycle duration and no need to use mixing tanks for homogenization of the final product. \u00a0During the process of mixing in an in-line mixer, the flow rate of each component is continuously adjusted in order to obtain the finished product with stable quality according to the predetermined recipe. \u00a0The resulting non-freezing fluid does not break into individual components and has a long shelf life.<\/p>\n
Theoretical payback period is calculated according to the specific conditions of your future production. \u00a0It could be three months, six months or a year. \u00a0This time interval can be reduced due to versatility of this equipment. \u00a0The same line allows the production of three types of liquids: antifreeze, windscreen washer liquid and shampoo. The wider the range, the better the sales of the finished products.<\/p>\n
Final cost of the antifreeze production line depends on the degree of its automation and production capacity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
