[Today's Hot Review] Why Are Cement Plants Still Working Hard to Produce at a Loss?

cement plants still produce desperately when they are losing money? In the

recent survey, many cement enterprises called the cement plant a serious loss. Why do cement plants still work hard when they are losing money? First of all, let's calculate the current cost per ton of cement in the cement plant. The energy consumption cost of the

cement plant mainly comes from coal and electricity. According to the requirement of about 130 kg of 5500 kcal raw coal per ton of clinker , the coal cost per ton of clinker is 130 yuan based on the coal price of 1000 yuan; After deducting waste heat power generation, about 30 kilowatt-hours of electricity need to be purchased from outside, and the price of electricity per kilowatt-hour is 0.6 yuan, so the cost of electricity purchased from outside is about 18 yuan. The cost of coal electricity per ton of clinker is at least 148 yuan.

In addition, the cost of raw materials and personnel wages per ton of clinker is about 200-260 yuan.

Although about 80% of clinker is required for cement production, the production cost per ton of cement is at least 180-230 yuan/ton in addition to the cost of auxiliary materials such as fly ash and the cost of grinding 30 kilowatt-hour electricity, and the comprehensive cost per ton of cement is 210-280 yuan in addition to the management fee and sales fee. In

some areas, the ex-factory price of P.O42.5 cement is as low as 200 yuan/ton. Cement is basically sold one ton at a loss!

Then why are you still working so hard? Of course, it is necessary to keep the market, customers and enterprises! At present, the cement market supply exceeds demand, and the demand gradually decreases. Once the enterprise stops production, the original market will be gradually divided up by other enterprises, and it will be more difficult to restore the market share. And after the shutdown, workers' wages and bank interest have to be paid.

More importantly, cement enterprises also owe a large amount of arrears to upstream raw materials and equipment manufacturers. If they stop production for a long time, they will panic and increase their efforts to recover the arrears and reduce the cash flow of enterprises. If the cash flow of the enterprise is exhausted, it will directly face the risk of bankruptcy! Therefore, although the cement plant has a loss, but it is more important to survive, after the market rises, it can survive!
