In today’s society, the limited nature of resources and the increasingly serious environmental problems make the effective use of resources and circular economy become very important. Especially in the manufacturing industry, the rational use of resources and the recycling of waste are of great significance to the sustainable development of enterprises. The production process of Marine bearing forgings involves the utilization of a variety of resources and the generation of waste, so how to achieve the effective use of resources and circular economy is an important issue facing the industry. This paper will discuss the resource utilization and circular economy strategy in the production process of Marine bearing forging.
Resource utilization optimization
Rational utilization of raw materials
In the production process of Marine bearing forgings, high-quality and efficient raw materials should be selected, and the waste of raw materials should be reduced through reasonable process design. For example, the use of precise forging technology and mold design to reduce the loss and waste of raw materials.
Efficient use of water resources
In the production process, the use of water resources involves many links, including cooling, cleaning, processing and so on. Technology upgrading and management optimization should be adopted to improve the utilization efficiency of water resources and reduce the waste of water resources. For example, the use of water-saving equipment and processes to achieve the recycling of water resources.
Rational consumption of energy
The production process of Marine bearing forgings needs to consume a lot of energy, such as electricity, gas and so on. Energy consumption should be reduced by optimizing the process flow and adopting energy-saving equipment. For example, the use of energy-efficient heating equipment and forging equipment to improve energy efficiency.
Circular economy practice
Recycling of waste
In the production process of Marine bearing forgings, some waste will be generated, such as scrap steel, scrap and so on. It is necessary to establish a waste recycling mechanism to classify, recycle, treat and reuse these wastes to reduce the dependence on natural resources. For example, scrap steel is reprocessed into blanks or used as a reducing agent in the smelting process.
By-product recovery of the production process
In the production process, some by-products such as iron filings, oxide, etc., can be recycled. These by-products should be converted into new resources or products through reasonable recycling treatment to maximize the utilization of resources. For example, iron filings are recycled for use in the manufacture of steel products or as an additive in building materials.
Reuse and refurbishment of equipment
In the production process of Marine bearing forgings, some equipment may be eliminated due to wear or technological upgrades. These equipment should be converted into new resources or products through reasonable reuse and renovation treatment, and the waste of equipment should be reduced. For example, old equipment can be refurbished and put back into use, or broken down into parts for repairing other equipment.
By optimizing resource utilization and implementing circular economy practice, Marine bearing forgings production enterprises can improve economic benefits while reducing environmental impact. Through the implementation of measures such as reasonable selection of raw materials, improving the utilization efficiency of water resources and energy, recycling and reuse of waste, and reuse and renovation of equipment, enterprises can realize the maximum utilization of resources and the goal of circular economy, and make positive contributions to the sustainable development of enterprises and the improvement of social environment. In the future, with the continuous progress of technology and the continuous improvement of management level, the production process of Marine bearing forgings will pay more attention to the effective use of resources and the development of circular economy to make greater contributions to the sustainable development of the industry and the improvement of the social environment.
