Summary for small anodizing plant Discussion
small anodizing plant is the core issue here: Madhav Sakhare, who manufactures health products in a remote area, says he needs to anodize about 300 aluminum tubes per month and is paying high transport costs because the nearest anodizer is more than 100 km away. He asks whether a small in-house anodizing facility could be set up for his own production. The thread excerpt shown does not include a technical answer or recommendation, only the question and the forum header. As a result, there is no documented guidance in the provided text on plant size, process design, costs, or feasibility. The only named source visible is the questioner, Madhav Sakhare, and the page appears to be a request for help rather than a resolved discussion.
I am in manufacturing of Health products, and Aluminum tubes are raw material. My works is in a remote area, where no anodizing plant is available within 100 Km. I have to get 300 tubes of 31 ” long [OD 22.22 mm / 1.40 mm WT ] per month. I am paying heavy charges on transportation, hence willing to have small anodizing facility [for my size only] at my works. If you can guide me for a small plant or any solution ?

Q. May anybody guide me how much investment is required to set up an aluminium anodizing plant?

A. Hi Faisal. Our Consultants Directory includes companies who can get you there. If you want quick off-the-cuff ideas on the cost, the readers would have to know what kind of parts you are speaking of (34 foot long extrusions vs. crochet hooks), what production volume you contemplate anodizing, and what type of anodizing you wish to do (i.e., what properties you want from the parts anodized parts), e.g., hard anodizing, dyed anodizing, chromic acid anodizing, bright dipping as well, etc.
Good luck.
