Given the high demand for building and decorative structures based on, those components that are used for its installation are also in demand on the market. building materials. And here you can include a metal profile. The conclusion suggests itself - if you buy a machine for the manufacture of drywall profiles, work out the range and technology, you can start earning right today. It has already been proven in practice that the profitability of production is quite high. Mounting profile for drywall - a metal product made for ease of installation of the material in different versions. It is actively used in the construction of buildings and their decoration.

Our business valuation:

Starting investments - from 600,000 rubles.

Market saturation is average.

The complexity of starting a business is 5/10.

Not to be required major investments to start the enterprise, it is better to immediately abandon the organization of a large-scale plant. For start-up entrepreneurs the best option will open a mini plant for the production of drywall profiles. What are the stages to be passed on the way to success and big profits?

What assortment to offer consumers?

It would seem that there is nothing complicated and unusual in such a simple product as a mounting profile. But for certain purposes, builders may need a variety of sizes and types of drywall profiles. And in order to earn the trust of customers, it is important to provide them with a wide range of products that differ in application and geometry.

It is worth considering the assortment even before purchasing all the necessary equipment, since many machines can only produce one type of profile. But for the production of a whole range of products, multifunctional equipment will be required. This costs much more.

There are the following types of profiles for fixing drywall:

• guide,
• ceiling,
• rack,
• beacon,
• angular.

Of all the possible options, ceiling and guide profiles are in greater demand on the market. They are widely used for the construction of partitions, suspended ceilings, and wall insulation. The standard dimensions of the ceiling profile are 60*27 mm. The standard dimensions of the guide profile are 27*28.

The development of the assortment is only the first stage, from which the business plan for the production of a drywall profile begins. There is still a lot of work ahead on the selection of raw materials and equipment.

How is the process of manufacturing fastening profiles carried out?

The production of a galvanized profile is impossible without the appropriate raw materials. And here, as a rule, galvanized steel of the 2nd class is used, supplied to enterprises in the form of strips - strips. And if the standard sheet thickness should be 0.3-0.6 mm, then the required width of the tape will depend on the type and purpose of the product planned for release.

For the manufacture of the ceiling profile, strips with a width of 123 mm are taken. And the guide fastener requires a steel tape 81 mm wide.

To make the drywall profile production business more profitable and less costly, metal raw materials should be purchased from those suppliers that are geographically located closer to production. In addition, the price of the material will decrease significantly if you buy everything you need at once in small wholesale lots.

As for the technology for the production of mounting profiles, it is extremely simple - everyone can master the process. The steps are:

• Loading the steel coil into the machine.
• Forming a profile from a metal billet.
• Packing and warehousing finished products.

It turns out that manual labor is minimized in the production process. And that's another plus. this direction, since the cost of production is reduced due to the refusal to hire highly qualified personnel. The workshop will require the presence of personnel only working specialties.

And since all processes are carried out by an automated line for the production of drywall profiles, we pay special attention to the next stage of business planning - the technical equipment of the workshop.

What equipment to equip the workshop?

In order to buy equipment for the production of drywall profiles, there should be no problems - suppliers offer a lot of equipment options for sale, because this area is characterized by high demand for finished products.

Equipping the workshop, you should analyze the following factors- its cost, power, equipment, functionality. If you study the market, you can choose the option of technical equipment that is suitable in terms of price / quality ratio.

The "medium" line for the production of drywall profiles is equipped with the following machines and devices:

• Uncoiler.
• Profile bending machine.
• Cutting machine.
• Reception table.

We have indicated a list of the main machines necessary to obtain high-quality products. But to facilitate and speed up the process, some additional equipment will also be required - a beam crane, a loader.

The final price of equipment varies in a wide range - 500,000-2,000,000 rubles. It is important to understand that with the help of cheaper semi-automatic devices, the entrepreneur will be able to receive only 1-2 types of profile. But the higher price of a machine for the production of a drywall profile will indicate that such equipment will allow the production of a much wider assortment, which, of course, will also affect the final sales profit.

Even if minimum amount there is no equipment for the workshop, it is worth buying a used machine. And then the cost of purchasing equipment can be reduced up to 250,000 rubles.

Domestically produced lines cost somewhat less than those made abroad. But as practice shows, such equipment is much better in terms of quality, durability, and functionality.

Features of the market for finished products

Since the demand for products is only increasing, consumers can be found without problems. There are several ways for an entrepreneur to develop:

• Construction companies and contractors.
• Private buyers.

It's great if the metal profile for drywall is sold in bulk. This will save the entrepreneur from the headache of attracting interested customers. But even so, it is hardly worth "writing off" small private traders. If it is possible to organize a small warehouse-pavilion on the basis of the workshop, where the manufactured products will be presented for sale, this should certainly be used. Then, everyone will be able to come here for the necessary material.

As for the marketing development of the opening enterprise, it is unlikely that it will be necessary to deploy large-scale advertising campaigns. Subject to cooperation with wholesalers, it is much more important to have a profitable commercial offer. And speaking of your own point of sale, advertising still have to invest some money.

And what will happen to the enterprise in the autumn-winter period, when the entire construction market “sags”? Yes, at this time, not many people need a frame made of drywall profiles, but with well-established distribution channels, even in winter, equipment downtime can be avoided. Sales will drop significantly, but this, of course, will not lead to the ruin of the enterprise.

Let's talk about the financial side of things

It has already been proven in practice that even a small enterprise for the production of profiles can bring its owner a high income. But before moving on to specific profitability metrics, it is important to evaluate the capital investment that will be required to start a business.

The production of drywall profiles will require the following investments (including new equipment):

• Registration of an enterprise - from 10,000 rubles.
• Purchase and commissioning of the line (without additional equipment) - from 600,000 rubles.
• Preparation for the work of the premises - from 100,000 rubles.
• Providing a raw material base - from 200,000 rubles.

In the case of the purchase of supported equipment, capital expenditures will decrease up to 600,000 rubles.

If we talk about a low-capacity workshop (200 linear meters per hour), then with an 8-hour shift 22 days a month, it is possible to produce up to 35,500 linear meters of products monthly. As for the cost of the finished material, much depends on its type. For approximate calculations, let's take the average wholesale price of the profile - 30 rubles per linear meter. By selling the entire volume of output, you can have revenue in the amount of ≈1,000,000 rubles. Part of it will go to the further organization of production, and about 100,000 rubles. the entrepreneur will earn.

Galvanized profile for drywall today is in demand in any production of various designs. The demand for it is constantly high, therefore, a business on this product can be built quite profitable.

Business organization

To organize a business, it is necessary to register the activity in tax office. Production can be organized as individual entrepreneur or as a limited liability company. If you plan to work with major suppliers, it is better not to take risks and immediately register an LLC. Sometimes large companies prefer to deal only with legal entities.

You also need to choose an appropriate taxation system. A lawyer or accountant may recommend this. Most often, entrepreneurs stop at a simplified system, especially when it comes to starting a business. If you wish, in the new reporting year you will have the opportunity to switch to a more convenient taxation system.

When registering, you must specify OKVED 27.33 production of bent steel profiles.

Premises and staff

To open a workshop, you will need a room of about 300 square meters. m in the industrial area. It is advisable to rent a room at the factory, then it will suit all production parameters. The area must be divided into a workshop and a warehouse for raw materials and finished products. Despite the fact that drywall profiles are lightweight, the finished products are quite large.

To establish uninterrupted work, you will need a technologist, craftsmen, an operator and a production manager. It is advisable to take such specialists who, if necessary, can replace each other.

Profile types

At its core, a drywall profile is a mounting base for sheets that are used in various types finishing works. In accordance with the purpose of the profile, the following types of it are distinguished:

• angular;
• beacon;
• ceiling;
• guide;
• rack.

The most popular is the guide PPN 27 * 28 and the ceiling PP 60 * 27, because they form the basis of the plasterboard frame. They are used for wall cladding, installation of suspended ceilings, interior partitions and more.

Raw material

For the production of drywall profiles, the business plan must include the purchase of special steel. It must be at least the second class with a thickness of 0.3-0.6 mm, galvanized, thin sheet. It is sold in the form of ribbons, rolled into rolls. Moreover, for the ceiling profile, a tape (strip) with a width of 123 mm is needed, and for a guide - 81 mm. A ton of such tape will cost about 34 thousand rubles. From it you can make 600 three-meter profiles.

Production process

The production of a drywall profile is carried out on a roll forming machine and consists of several stages.

1. Setting up the equipment in accordance with the parameters of the raw materials used and the type of profile being produced.
2. Filling the strip or workpiece into the machine.
3. Profile making and cutting.

Not all these stages are carried out on the same machine, so it’s easier when there is a finished product in the workshop. automatic line production.

Production lines

The production line can be of various configurations depending on the profile manufacturing plan. For example, if you plan to specialize in a ceiling profile, a single-strand line is purchased. You can purchase domestic equipment, the price of which is 480 thousand rubles. Such a line operates in a semi-automatic mode, has a capacity of up to 20 linear meters per minute and produces a profile of the CD type.

If you plan to specialize in several types of drywall profile, you can buy a roll forming machine that can produce both ceiling profile and CD type guide profile. The price of such a semi-automatic machine is 770 thousand rubles. It produces up to 10 running meters per minute.

In addition to the fact that the workshop should have a production line, the business plan should include the purchase of a beam crane, with which it will be possible to install raw materials on the uncoiler of the machine, and carry out other unloading and loading operations.

quality requirements

For a business to be successful, it is important to produce products of the right quality. For production, it is allowed to use raw materials with a thickness of at least 0.55 mm. Steel must be galvanized without fail, since profiles are often exposed to aggressive materials during operation. In the manufacture, steel must be used that complies with GOST 14918-8.

Sales of finished products

A business plan must necessarily take into account possible options for selling the finished profile. Despite the fact that the demand for these products is high, the marketing plan must be thought out in detail. There are three main channels through which finished products are sold:

• contractors and construction companies;
• contractors and renovation companies;
• private persons.

And if you can work directly with the first two channels, then retail sales can be organized through construction markets, shops, hypermarkets. Hypermarkets are the best help to implement the sales plan, because they have a consistently high turnover.

Economic calculation of the project

The expenditure part of the project consists of the following capital investments:

• renovation of the premises - 300 thousand rubles.
• purchase of raw materials - 500 thousand rubles.
• purchasing supplies and hand tool- 50 thousand rubles.
• purchase of a beam crane - 160 thousand rubles.
• delivery, installation, commissioning - 150 thousand rubles.
• purchase of a production line - 770 thousand rubles.
• other expenses - 50 thousand rubles.

In total, the launch of the project will require at least 2 million rubles. As for the revenue, it comes exclusively from profile sales. If the production line is loaded by 55%, then up to a ton of raw materials can be processed per day. Production can pay off in two or three years. Keep in mind that you will have to work with ever-increasing competition, as the availability and ease of production attracts many entrepreneurs. Due to increased competition, the profitability of production today has decreased to 18%.

The gypsum board profile machine is the centerpiece of the entire system for the production of gypsum board frame parts. Modern equipment allows you to make a variety of profiles, and therefore the manufacture of drywall sheathing parts is considered by many as a very promising area in business development.

In our article, we will talk about the features of the production process, as well as what elements the metal profile production line includes.

Profile for drywall

Nomenclature of metal profiles

The basis of most plasterboard structures is a metal frame, assembled from special profile elements. The size of these parts and their configuration determine mechanical properties drywall frame, which means that they largely affect the characteristics of the structure as a whole.

To date, the most common types of profiles for GKL are:

• Ceiling (CD) profile for drywall- used as a base for suspended ceilings, as well as wall structures of small dimensions.
• Wall mounted (UD)- fastened around the perimeter of the room as a support for the ceiling.
• Rack (CW)– it is used for the erection of vertical frame elements, it is distinguished by improved mechanical characteristics.
• Reinforced (door) (UA)- more durable than other types of frame parts, it is mainly used for assembling the frames of doorways in drywall interior partitions.

In addition to these elements, which belong to the category of basic ones, a significant number of additional components are on the market - suspensions, brackets, connectors, extension cords, etc. All of them are used to assemble frames for plasterboard wall and ceiling cladding.

For the production of all these elements, special machines for the drywall profile are used. To date, the manufacture of long modules for the installation of gypsum structures is a fairly popular area of ​​private business.

Note!
The consumption volumes, and hence the production volumes of the lathing elements for gypsum plasterboard structures, directly depend on the volumes of consumption of the drywall itself.

Features of the production process

Various profiles for mounting drywall are made from galvanized steel. In their production, cold bending or metal stamping technologies are used.

For the manufacture of these products are characterized by the following features:

• The raw material is thin-sheet galvanized steel. Steel grade 08-KP, the choice of material is regulated by GOST 9045-80.
• The optimal thickness of the workpiece is 0.4-0.65 mm. Each machine for the manufacture of a drywall profile is designed to work with workpieces of a certain thickness, which should not be exceeded due to the risk of early wear of the machine components and its failure.
• Workpiece width - from 120 to 180 mm. Some automatic lines are able to work with larger workpieces, but the price of such equipment is quite high.
• The maximum length of the finished product is from 4 to 6 m. This parameter depends on the dimensions of the receiving table of the machine and, if necessary, can be increased without a radical reconfiguration of the entire line.

The very procedure for forming a profile from a metal blank is shown in the video posted on our resource.

Rental equipment

Main elements of the profile production line

Despite the fact that devices for the manufacture of metal parts of the crate from different manufacturers differ in design, general scheme functioning of such systems remains unchanged.

Typically, a roll forming machine includes:

• Uncoiler - a device for feeding a tape blank for processing. In most models of bending machines, cantilever decoilers are used, the use of which ensures automatic supply of material for bending.

• Rolling mill. The main element of the line responsible for profiling the workpiece. Depending on the type of line, rolling mills can produce profiles of one standard size or several at once - without reconfiguration. Naturally, for the production of a wide range of products, the second variety is more preferable.
• The cutting device is usually pneumatic scissors. The main task of this unit is to cut finished products according to the given dimensions. Best Models shears are equipped with systems of the "flying cabin" type, which allows cutting the profile without stopping the rolling mill. Cutting accuracy is +/- 5 mm from the specified parameters.
• The receiving table is responsible for the storage of finished products.

You can see the scheme of the profile production line in the photo.

In addition to the already mentioned elements of equipment for the production of rolled metal products, a control system is an obligatory component. As a rule, such a system is supplied with the equipment and operates under the control of a certified software.

Note!
Application systems automated control improves the quality of finished products by eliminating the influence of the human factor.

Features of the choice and adjustment of production

By and large, the main number of lines on the market are characterized by quite decent quality and performance.

And yet, when planning to open a profile rental business for GKL, you need to take into account the following:

• It is better to purchase a domestic or European machine for the production of a drywall profile - China, although it has more affordable prices, is somewhat inferior in quality.
• An important factor in the choice should be the services for setting up the machine line. For example, many companies offer equipment buyers comprehensive assistance in setting up all business processes, up to signing contracts with suppliers of the most suitable raw materials.

• Also, do not forget about setting up and calibrating equipment. Of course, instructions are supplied with any machine without fail - but without the appropriate skills, you should not take on setting it yourself. This is exactly the case when the involvement of outside specialists will be fully justified!

As you can see, choosing the right machine for the drywall profile is only half the battle. But if you select the right equipment, set it up efficiently and organize your workflow competently, then the production of parts for drywall sheathing can very well become a source of solid income!

How to open a drywall profile production

Appearance on the market successful product often associated with the emergence of auxiliary industries that endow such a product with additional properties, new characteristics. For the manufacture of ice cream, manufacturers of packaging, equipment, and flavoring additives are needed. emergence mobile phone led to the emergence of software and component developers, application programmers. The prevalence of the use of gypsum board during installation work in interior decoration has necessitated the use of related materials. The production of a drywall profile is an attractive business line that provides the production of related material during construction work.

Brief business analysis:
Business setup costs:33 thousand dollars
Relevant for cities with a population:from 500 thousand people
Situation in the industry:average level of competition
The complexity of organizing a business: 3/5
Payback: 11-12 months

Business Relevance

Gypsum plasterboard (GKL) is a popular finishing material for interior work. The prevalence of gypsum plasterboard is associated, first of all, with low price, durability, consumer qualities. The material is easily stored, transported, easy to install; the properties of the canvas guarantee the necessary characteristics: moisture resistance, fire resistance, antibacterial and thermal protection. Three objects out of a hundred do without the use of drywall during installation work.

The assembly of wall and ceiling panel blocks involves the use of canvases with a thickness of 12.5 mm and 9.5 mm, respectively. Depending on the technological requirements for the object, the installation of the gypsum plasterboard is carried out by means of four mounting options on:

1. adhesive mixtures.
2. Gypsum base.
3. Rack frame.
4. Mesh of metal profiles.

The latter method is considered complex and time-consuming, but the resulting surfaces are durable, stable, and not subject to external influences. When repairing apartments, small-sized objects, a plasterboard sheet is cheaper and faster to fix with glue or a gypsum substrate. The requirements put forward for large residential and industrial facilities require the use of a frame made of a metal profile.

Special requirements are also relevant for regions with increased seismicity, humidity, large temperature differences: such phenomena lead to deformation of the panels, which is technologically unacceptable. Finally, with the help of a metal profile, elements of the internal design are created that are not available with other methods of fastening.

The material for the production of the profile is galvanized steel strip, which goes through the forming process by stamping or cold rolling. Conventionally, profiles are divided into types depending on the type of internal work:

• CDor PP- for the ceiling;
• UDor mon- wall brand;
• uwor PNP- guide;
• CWor PS– rack profile;
• U.A.– reinforced (door) profiles;
• PA- flexible arched products for curved structures;
• PU– perforated corner to protect the outer corners.

The most widespread are the first two options - CD and UD. Other products, due to limited volumes of consumption, are not of interest to the manufacturer when starting a business.

Business organization

Several factors influence the ultimate success of a business. A careful choice of equipment and supplier will allow you to avoid unnecessary costs during installation, commissioning, as well as post-warranty maintenance of the line. The absence of a contract for the purchase, installation of equipment is fraught with numerous risks in subsequent activities.

The same opportunities are provided by the correct selection of the supplier of raw materials - strips for the manufacture of products. A partner with a good reputation will ensure accurate delivery times, favorable financial conditions, and the quality of the steel sheet.

When planning a business, it is useful to analyze the market of the competitive environment, the possibility of expanding supplies to the nearest regions. We should also not forget about the potential for exports to countries with an underdeveloped metallurgical industry: metalworking companies are often absent or poorly represented in such territories.

A high concentration of competitors implies activities in conditions of low profitability, increased requirements from customers. In such conditions, it is possible to search for unoccupied niches: not always manufacturing enterprises cover the existing demand, the buyer is forced to look for the missing volume of supply in remote markets.

This type of business does not imply special requirements, conditions for a new player. The production of a metal profile is available to a private entrepreneur who does not have special education, skills, or experience.

The larger the volume of production, the more opportunities to expand the sales market, reduce costs, and the final price of a unit of production.

Workshop room

With the dimensions of the production line not exceeding 15-20 square meters, a small workshop, hangar, storage room will do. A characteristic distinguishing feature of the premises is the presence of handling equipment for lifting, moving sheet rolls, as well as loading finished products onto vehicles. Convenient access roads for road carriers will ensure comfortable work with suppliers of raw materials, buyers of the finished product.

There are also no special requirements for storage areas: such premises are often located in the production workshop, without separation or allocation of separate areas. Due to the increased noise emission, the workshop is located in the industrial area, production at a distance of less than 1000 meters from the residential area is not allowed.

Raw material supply channels

For the manufacture of the profile, a galvanized tape (strip) of the 2nd class is used from steel 08kp / 08ps with a thickness of 0.30-0.70 mm, a coating layer of 10-18 microns, which meets the characteristics of GOST 14918-80. The thickness of the tape affects the strength of the finished drywall construction. Depending on the type of finished product, a strip with a width of 80-207 mm is used.

Steel strip is supplied in rolls weighing 2.5-3.0 tons, the approximate cost of one ton of raw material is $600. Trends in price dynamics are subject to global indicators. Within two recent years sheet metal prices and consumption are continuously rising and have risen from $280 to the current $600 since 2016.

Raw material is produced metallurgical plants, the purchase of strips in the presence of developed metal trading networks is not associated with difficulties or risks of interruption in supplies. An important characteristic of the supplier is the ability to cut the roll to the width of the tape, corresponding to the model of the produced profile. There is no need to purchase a cutting machine, equipment costs are reduced.

Production technology

The production process of metal profile for gypsum board is simple. Often the manufacture of products is carried out by assembly teams in order to save money in an artisanal way through the use of manual labor without automation. At the same time, the quality and production volumes are low, not meeting the requirements when working on large construction sites.

Conventionally, the production of a profile consists of the following stages:

• acceptance of the steel coil, subsequent supply of raw materials to the unwinder;
• pressing the tape, giving the web the desired shape;
• cutting the sheet into segments of the same size;
• quality acceptance of finished products, packaging, delivery to the address of the recipient.

Necessary equipment

Since the plasterboard sheet of the German company Knauf has become widespread on the market, the metal profile is often oriented for the installation of this type of gypsum plasterboard. The choice of equipment consists of huge amount options, new or used, lines. The presence of used equipment on the market is associated with the major economic crises of 2008-2014, which affected construction volumes. The equipment is produced by large companies and private craftsmen focused on retail products on the markets.

For example, consider the composition of the line for the production of popular models of profiles CD 60x27 and UW 28x27 with a capacity of up to 60 linear meters per minute. The equipment is controlled by one operator, weighs 2.5 tons and includes complete mechanisms:

• Cantilever roll unwinder serves for continuous supply of raw materials for molding;
• Perforator(for profile UW 28x27) presses the canvas for further drilling holes;
• rolling mill- a roll forming device that gives the steel sheet the necessary final shape, reinforcing the stiffening rib in the finished product;
• Turret cage avoids deformation of the tape during rolling;
• Electromechanical shears cutting the feeding tape into segments of equal length without stopping the rolling mill or with a suspension, restart of the equipment;
• receiving device- temporary collection, which receives finished products;
• System automatic control adjusts the line for the production of the profile of the required model, manages, monitors the stages of production.

Business registration

This type of activity does not require the issuance of special permits or licenses, which facilitates the preparatory process and reduces the launch time. The premises are being checked by the fire inspectorate, Rospotrebnadzor with the issuance of the relevant permits. A desirable condition is the issuance of a product quality certificate, which facilitates the presentation of the profile on the shelves of large retail chains, conclusion of contracts with contractors.

Marketing and distribution channels

The ability to sell, establish production and cooperation ties is perhaps the main factor in the success of a business. In this form commercial activities it is easy to produce products, much more difficult to sell, make a profit. With equal opportunities for market participants, similar selling prices, the factor of customer loyalty comes first.

The success of the company's activities is due to the development of its own discount systems, depending on the volume of purchase, terms of delivery, form of payment. It is important for the manufacturer to understand more favorable conditions compared to competitors, the more customers such a business organization is able to attract.

Discount conditions are offered to all partners without exception. A small-scale wholesale market trader with cash payments is offered a discount of 3-5% from the initial selling price. Bulk wholesale supplies construction company offer the maximum discount at a price slightly higher than the cost of production.

With a dozen, a hundred companies with similar products, the same prices, only conditions, personal connections will help company owners pay attention to the profile manufacturer. In list additional services that increase the loyalty of potential partners include:

• Free or inexpensive transportation of finished products to the buyer;
• Additional information about products, including the work of sales managers, printed materials, an informative website;
• Consultations on the calculation of the number of profiles per square meter of area, the object as a whole;
• Informing customers about the expansion model range products, production schedule, deliveries;
• Additional discounts for regular, trusted partners, joint leisure activities - corporate meetings, visits to recreation centers, concerts;
• Participation in specialized exhibitions, seminars, advertising in specialized press, printed or digital.

Business costs and payback

The cost of the production line for the production of PP 60x27 and PNP 28x27 profiles is $17,000. The equipment produces 60 linear meters of products per hour or 10,000 linear meters of profile per month. The total cost of the launch is $33,000 and includes the stages:

• Making a physical or legal entity: $300;
• Purchase, installation of equipment: $20,000;
• Purchase of raw materials for monthly production: $4.300;
• Rent, additional equipment of the premises: $5000;
• Salary: $1,000;
• Creation of an insurance stock of raw materials, working capital: $2.400.

The retail price of a CD 60x27 profile with a thickness of 0.45mm is about $1.85; the small wholesale price is $1.65, the large wholesale price is $1.45. The weight of 3 running meters of the product is 2.02 kg. 495 units of products are produced from one ton of rolled sheet. Based on the data, the profitability of production is calculated, which is: $1.45*495/600 = 19,63% .

For a private entrepreneur with a fixed tax rate, this profitability indicator is close to the final one. A large enterprise pays a set of taxes on production activities, but at the same time has the ability to reduce the purchase price of raw materials. With an uninterrupted schedule, the payback period is $33,000/2,800 or about 1 year.

An analysis of the information allows us to note that the drywall profile production business is suitable for an experienced businessman who understands the construction, metallurgical markets, and an unskilled participant with communication, sales skills. Such a commercial activity does not require a large start-up capital, business success is based on stability construction market, the presence of growth trends in construction volumes. If the market environment allows for optimistic forecasts for short term There are no barriers to starting a business.

Overview of equipment for the production of profiles

To date, drywall is very popular among the finishing materials. It is not only used for arranging interior partitions, but also for creating multi-level ceilings and walls. Moreover, the simplicity of its installation allows even an inexperienced builder to cope with it, which is one of the reasons for its frequent use by ordinary people for their needs, without hiring craftsmen for this.

Product Features

To perform finishing work that uses drywall, can be used different types profile:

• ceiling;
• rack;
• guide;
• angular.

Most often, the first two options are used, because it is from them that a frame can be made for further mounting sheets. For their manufacture, galvanized steel is used in the form of a sheet, which should not be lower than the second cash desk. Such sheets are bought in the form of ribbons rolled into large rolls, which are also called strips.

Necessary equipment

The whole process of producing a profile for drywall is to work on a small machine for bending steel coils. It includes the following components:

• pneumatic guillotine, which cuts the sheet across after the profile is formed;
• sheet bending module;
• control system;
• it is possible to install an operator panel, which allows you to quickly enter and save a large number of parameters and control for the manufacture of a profile.

You can refuse to buy and use a guillotine, and even a control panel, if you find sheets of an already cut version to the required dimensions of the workpiece. In this case, this will save not only unnecessary equipment costs, but also reduce the number of procedures performed near the machine during the manufacture of the product.

In the case of using steel in coils, you will have to keep at least two workers so that they can monitor the correct operation of the system. They will thread the strip from the roll, specify all the necessary parameters in the control module and monitor the operation of the machine, while adjusting various parameters.

We also note that if a flying cut is used, this allows to speed up the production process by almost 30%, and the cost of finished products is slightly reduced.

Profile production

To create a high-quality profile, you need a sheet with a thickness of 0.3 mm to 0.6 mm. Moreover, the sheet must be galvanized.

If we consider specialized literature, then we can distinguish three main stages of production from the instructions:

1. The process of configuring all hardware parameters is in progress. Even the thickness of the sheet is indicated.
2. Loading sheets or ribbon is in progress.
3. There is a process of bending the sheets into a profile.
4. Profiles are cut into finished products using the specified length parameters.

As you can see, all this can be achieved very simply if you have an automatic production line at your disposal. In this case, the process will be very fast.

We also note that the business plan for the production of a profile for drywall should contain one selected direction out of two possible:

1. You won't have a large assortment, because you will put the machine on the production of only one type of product. This will give you better performance.
2. You will have to spend a lot more money to make a line for the production of several types of profiles at once. At the same time, you do not need to expect great performance. But due to the fact that the range of products will increase, it will be much easier for you on the market. Even with a doubling of the amount of investment in equipment, this option is currently considered the most cost-effective and will quickly pay for itself.

1. Those offices that are engaged in the repair of their own premises.
2. Companies that provide services for the repair of housing and other real estate.
3. Ordinary individuals who plan to make repairs at their place.
