In the appliance industry, the curing condition of the pure polyester powder coatings which the Gree previously used during the production is 200°/10min. After the initiative recommendation and repeated verification of Kinte during 2005-2006, all the powder coatings Gree used have been replaced to those with the curing condition of 180°/10min since 2006. Because of this, the Gree headquarter can save about 5 million RMB energy cost per year. Counting its OEM plant in, the energy saving can be up to as high as 15 million RMB.
Kinte has developed 170°/10min low temperature powder coating since 2010. By the end of 2012, this kind of powder coating has been placed in mass production. By calculating, the Gree headquarter can save 3 million energy cost per year, the equivalent of 1000 RMB energy-saving for every one ton powder coating. At present, both sides are discussing the verification and development of 160°/10min low temperature curing powder coating.
This project not only enables customers to achieve significant economic benefits, but also in line with the national energy saving strategy. As the strategic cooperation supplier, Kinte receives high praise from Gree.
