This CKD/SKD factory scope is for localized assembly of air conditioners, washing machines and other household appliances, plus high- and low-voltage switchgear. Each product family uses its own line, tooling and acceptance tests. PCB/SMT manufacturing remains a separate electronics factory scope.
Capacity and Technical Parameters
Preliminary engineering selection range: Finished units or panels per 8-hour shift. The ranges are separate planning envelopes for each product route—not one combined plant capacity. Final output depends on product models, BOM, kit condition, test time, shift pattern and planned OEE. Final guaranteed values require confirmed feed/product data, utility quality, operating schedule, site conditions and acceptance protocol.
| Product route | Compact line | Standard plant | Large / parallel plant |
|---|---|---|---|
| Split air conditioners | 150–400 sets/shift | 400–1,200 sets/shift | 1,200–3,000+ sets/shift |
| Washing machines | 100–300 units/shift | 300–1,000 units/shift | 1,000–2,500+ units/shift |
| Other household appliances | 200–800 units/shift | 800–3,000 units/shift | 3,000–8,000+ units/shift |
| Low-voltage switchgear | 10–30 panels/shift | 30–100 panels/shift | 100–250+ panels/shift |
| Medium / high-voltage switchgear | 2–8 panels/shift | 8–25 panels/shift | 25–60+ panels/shift |

Frequently Asked Questions
Which products does this CKD/SKD scope cover?
It covers air conditioners, washing machines and other household appliances, plus low-, medium- and high-voltage switchgear. Product families are engineered as separate routes.
Are the product routes built on one common line?
No. Air conditioners, washing machines, other appliances and switchgear require separate tooling, stations and acceptance tests.
Can the factory start as SKD and expand to CKD?
Yes. Buildings, utilities, logistics and stations can reserve phased localization for selected subassemblies and components.
Is SMT or PCB manufacturing included?
No. PCB, SMT and electronics manufacturing are retained as a separate electronics-factory page.
What tests are used for air conditioners and appliances?
Depending on the product, testing may include leak, vacuum, refrigerant charge, electrical safety, water-tightness, noise and functional performance.
What tests are used for switchgear?
The agreed scope may include visual and torque checks, insulation resistance, dielectric withstand, wiring continuity, protection-relay programming and functional tests.
Are the capacity figures guaranteed?
No. They are preliminary route-specific planning bands. Guaranteed output follows confirmed models, BOM, work content, test cycle, shifts and acceptance protocol.
Unbranded route-reference visuals were created for this page to explain the separate air-conditioner, washing-machine and switchgear production scopes. They are not presented as photographs of a completed China Bente project.
