As one of the metal pipe processing equipment, the price difference is obvious. From a few thousand dollars for the cheapest to hundreds of thousands of dollars, the price range is huge and often confusing. As a manufacturer engaged in the manufacture of pipe bending machines, the author would like to introduce the reason to you through this article.
First, brand and quality matter
No matter what industry, brand and quality are crucial factors affecting the price, and the pipe bending machine industry is no exception. Well-known brands often in order to maintain their advantages accumulated over the years, in terms of product quality and reliability will invest more resources and costs to maintain the good reputation accumulated before. But because of this, the price of these companies' pipe bending machines is often higher, which is what we often say about brand effect. On the contrary, some other less well-known enterprises tend to be cheaper, because they may not be as mature as well-known companies in terms of machine technology and materials, and may take relatively cheap raw materials, so the price is relatively low.
Second, specifications and functions have a significant impact
Different pipe bending machines, specifications and functions are also very different. Fully automatic pipe bending machines and large size pipe bending machines are often more widely used. Large size pipe bending machines can bend pipe fittings with larger diameters and thicker walls. Larger, more automated pipe bending machines often have more powerful bending capabilities and are suitable for more material workpieces. Because of these advantages, large size pipe bending machines are often more expensive. On the contrary, small models of pipe bending machines or semi-automatic pipe bending machines, manual pipe bending machines are often cheaper, because the workpiece they are suitable for bending is often more clear, more specific, and the scope of suitable is relatively small.
Third, the impact of production costs and materials
Production costs and raw material costs are direct factors affecting the price of pipe bending machines. Production costs cover a wide range, including factory overhead, processing costs, labor costs, and so on. The daily expenses of the factory floor are very large, such as water and electricity costs, procurement costs, etc., which will vary over time, and costs will also fluctuate. Processing costs include machine wear and tear, and labor costs are very easy to understand. With the development of the economy, labor costs are getting higher and higher, and the production process of a piece of equipment often requires multiple workers to work hard for several days in a row to complete it. The potential cost of this part is very, very huge and cannot be ignored. This is also the reason why the price of the bending machine is more expensive.
Fourth, the impact of additional services and warranties
Usually, the pipe bending machine manufacturer will provide a series of additional services after the customer orders. For example, to provide customers with a series of support, including but not limited to installation, basic training, use of training, routine questions of daily answer, machine problems encountered after-sales support and so on. In addition, the manufacturer usually promises a twelve-month warranty. During the warranty period, the machine can be repaired free of charge if there are quality problems. Because the intermediate cost is more flexible, different manufacturers will directly add to the total price.
The above are the factors affecting the bending machine, although the bending machine price is more flexible, but there are traces to follow, can find the root cause. The price of the pipe bender is subject to the brand, specifications, features, degree of automation, production costs and other potential costs as well as the additional services that the manufacturer can provide. We hope to help you understand the pipe bender.
