One ton of cement "earns more" than 15 yuan, and the phenomenon of insufficient weight of cement is serious and needs to be rectified urgently!

Recently, many domestic cement users have responded to China Cement Network that there is a serious shortage of bagged cement in the market.

It is reported that the net weight of many small brands of bagged cement is only 48-48.5kg, and the weight of some brands of bagged cement is only 47 kg. According to the national standard of bagged cement in China, 1 ton of cement should be packed into 20 bags, that is, 50 kg per bag. Due to the transportation process and other reasons, it may be reduced a little, but it should not be less than 98% of the standard weight.

Based on the above small brand cement single package of 47 kg, the single package of cement is 3 kg less, that is, 60 kg less per ton of cement, and the ex-factory price of cement is 250 yuan/ton, these small brand cement can "earn" 15 yuan more per ton. Even according to the calculation of 48kg-48.5kg, each ton of cement is about 30 kg less, which is equivalent to "earning more" 7.5 yuan. The problem of insufficient weight

of bagged cement is extremely harmful.

On the one hand, the illegal profit of 7-15 yuan per ton seriously undermines the normal market competition order and forms unfair competition, especially in the current situation of fierce competition in the cement market and low prices, which causes great pressure on law-abiding cement enterprises, and even leads to the situation of "bad money expelling good money".

On the other hand, each ton of cement is 30-60 kg less, which seriously infringes on the rights and interests of consumers, and even affects the safety of construction. If the proportion of sand, stone and cement is allocated according to the weight marked on the cement bag during decoration, a bag of cement is less than a few kilograms, which may affect the quality of the project and cause potential safety hazards.

According to the feedback from the market, the problem of insufficient weight of bagged cement is mostly found in small brand enterprises, especially in some small-scale social grinding stations, while large cement enterprises basically do not have this problem, even slightly more than 50 kg stipulated by the state. Fair competition in

the market and the protection of consumers'rights and interests can not be ignored, and the problem of "short weight" of bagged cement urgently needs to be strengthened by relevant departments.
