Oil Cooler Fans – Plastic vs Metal Blades: Does Material Really Matter for Reliability?
January 19, 2024

As leaders in the CNC machine manufacturing industry, we understand the importance of delivering reliable, high-performance products to our customers. However, a recent case study has shed light on the grave consequences of compromising on quality, particularly when it comes to something as seemingly insignificant as fans in air-cooled oil coolers.

Brace yourself for the eye-opening story of a customer who learned the hard way that cutting corners can have a devastating impact on their bottom line.

The Setup:

  • Machine Cost: Rs. 18,00,000
  • Tooling Cost: Rs. 3,00,000
  • Total Investment: Rs. 21,00,000
  • Expected Payback Period: 3 years
  • Required Annual Earning: Rs. 7,00,000 (Rs. 2,333 per day + Rs. 2,000 for salary/overheads)

The Decision: Seduced by a mere Rs. 200 savings, our customer switched to a competitor’s oil coolers, unknowingly sacrificing reliability for a meagre short-term gain.

 

The Fallout: Over the course of a year, a staggering 23 machines experienced failures, each lasting two days. The direct cost? A jaw-dropping Rs. 1,95,500 – a figure that could have been easily avoided by sticking with our trusted solution.

But the financial toll is just the tip of the iceberg. Imagine the lost productivity, the customer frustration, and the irreparable damage to your brand’s reputation. In fact, our customer faced a conservative estimate of 450 failures in the last financial year, resulting in a direct cost of INR 2 million.

The Lesson: In the pursuit of profitability, it’s tempting to seek out cost-cutting measures. However, as this case study illustrates, compromising on quality can have devastating consequences that far outweigh any perceived short-term savings.

At our company, we prioritize reliability, performance, and customer satisfaction above all else. By investing in top-notch components, including robust fans for our air-cooled oil coolers, we ensure that your machines operate at peak efficiency, minimizing downtime and maximizing your return on investment.

Don’t let a misguided attempt to save a few rupees cost you millions in the long run. Trust us to deliver the reliability and performance your business deserves, safeguarding your bottom line and preserving your hard-earned reputation.
