It compares what you spend on hand packing today with what the same output costs on one automated line with one operator. Every number is yours. Change any of them and the result updates.
Hand packing labor is people times loaded wage times hours times packing days. The automated number uses one operator per line at the same wage. Customers like Valley Pure went from 4 to 5 people on flower pouches down to 1.
Hand weighing usually runs a little heavy so no bag goes out light. That extra flower adds up. The NTEP EliteWeigh weighs to 0.02 g, so the calculator counts anything you give away above that as recovered product. If you already know your average overpack, put it in. If you do not, weigh 20 finished bags and take the average.
Capacity uses about six running hours per shift and the low end of each machine's speed range. Your product and package decide the real speed, and we confirm that with your samples before you buy.
The calculator does not include machine price, financing, film or pouch costs, or the value of shipping orders sooner. For a real payback period, send us your numbers or call (657) 267-0059. We will quote the right line and show the payback next to it.
