Resources Recovered Calculator | Weld Engineering Co. – Submerged Arc Flux Handling Equipment

Flux Recovery Equipment Type:		Specific types of flux recovery equipment for different needs.
Welding Procedure:		Recoverable flux varies with type of welding procedure from 50% to over 90%. (These factors are estimates only.)
Do You Manually Recover Flux?		It is assumed that manually recovering flux takes an estimated 50% longer to catch and sift vs. sweep and dispose.
Please review the following information for your specific setup. Note that changing the above selection box fields will recalculate the below information.
Weld Metal Deposited per Week:	(lb/wk)	Typical metal deposited per week: 250 lbs. for Standard Duty, 500 lbs. for Heavy Duty, and 8000 lbs. for Pipe Mill. (Averages are estimates only.)
Cost of Flux per Pound:	($/lb)	Typical is $1.74/lb of flux. (Estimate only.)
Labor Saved per Week:	(hrs/wk)	Our equipment saves the manual labor required to manually recover or dispose of the flux. (Estimate only.)
Labor & Overhead Rate:	($/hr)	Typical is 75 $/hr for labor + burden to dispose/recover flux manually.
Cost of Equipment:	($)	Typical is $3000 for Standard Duty, $15000 for Heavy Duty, and 45000 for Pipe Mill setups. (Costs are estimates only.)
Flux to Metal Ratio:	(:1)	Typical is 2:1 for Single, 3:1 for Twin, 6:1 for Tandem, and 12:1 for 5 arc. (Ratios are are estimates only.)
ESTIMATED SAVINGS: DISCLAIMER: Calculated values are estimates only and can vary from actual values. Weld Engineering is not responsible for actual cost(s) saved. Please contact Weld Engineering for assistance to attain more accurate cost reductions.
