What costs should be included in the FFU project budget? Don’t just calculate the unit price of the whole machine

Direct answer: The FFU project budget should cover the complete machine and filter, control and power supply, transportation and installation, prototype and test acceptance, as well as subsequent filter replacement and maintenance costs. When comparing quotations, you must first check the supply and implementation scope of each supplier, and then compare the total cost; the same 'single FFU price' may correspond to different configurations and delivery contents.

The FFU budget of a clean room or equipment-side project is not as simple as 'unit price × number of units'. Fans, motors,HEPA or ULPA filters , cabinets and control methods will affect the overall machine configuration; on-site ceiling, electrical and debugging conditions will affect the implementation cost. The budget should be prepared along with the technical program zoning.

Equipment cost: first confirm what is included in the whole machine

FFU fan filter units should be priced based on model, quantity, filter configuration, motor scheme and box structure. Standard ceiling specifications and non-standard dimensions at the equipment end should be listed separately. When making an inquiry, it should be clarified whether the filter is supplied with the complete machine, and whether the pre-filter, connecting parts and spare filters are included.

If the project requires multiple units for unified speed regulation, status monitoring or partition management, separate rows should be used.the FFU group control system avoid budgeting only the FFU body and omitting the control system.The controller, communication components and interface configuration of

Implementation costs: Demarcate boundaries based on on-site responsibilities

The installation budget should check who will be responsible for transportation, on-site unloading, hoisting or ceiling installation, wiring, communication cabling, address setting and commissioning. Non-standard projects on the equipment side may also involve interface coordination and on-site adaptation work.

Prototype production and testing, factory inspection, on-site air volume testing, filter installation seal inspection and cleanliness acceptance should also be clearly defined in the quotation. The scope of responsibilities and costs should also be specified. If the work is completed by different units, the budget should be able to correspond to the scope of the respective contracts.

Running costs: Don’t miss out on later expenses

Long-term operation projects should also estimate the power consumption, filter replacement, spare parts and maintenance costs of commonly used gears. When comparing motor solutions such as AC, EC or DC, the same filter, target air volume and operating time should be used instead of just comparing the purchase unit price.data under

Changes in filter efficiency rating may increase resistance and affect FFU operating point and energy consumption. Model selection and budget should be checked simultaneously to avoid saving the cost of the entire machine during the procurement stage but increasing debugging or operating costs on site.

Compare quotes using the same range sheet

Aili Industry can match standard or non-standard FFU configurations based on the project's cleanliness target, target air volume, installation drawings, filtration requirements and control partitions, and divide the complete machine, control and testing items accordingly. Before bulk purchasing, it is recommended to confirm the prototype and technical agreement first, and then match the budget list with the final configuration one by one. The specific cost is subject to the project scope, configuration and quotation agreement.
