Precision AirConvey Introduces ROI Calculator

A new ROI calculator from pneumatic conveying system manufacturer Precision AirConvey, Newark, Del., is designed to automatically reveal the cost savings and overall financial returns that can be realized by installing the company’s automated trim handling and reprocessing systems.

Devised to support plastic film and sheet processors, converters, printers and other companies, the ROI calculator considers dozens of input parameters to compare a facility’s current operating conditions to the streamlined conditions enjoyed following trim system installation, the company says.

The cost impact of slitter or extruder downtime, raw material and reclaim scrap, scrap hauling and disposal and other variables common to manual handling are calculated in terms of labor, time, productivity and product quality. The resulting tangible figures permit an educated comparison of several automated technologies to be made versus manual trim collection and disposal schemes, according to the press release.

To determine the cost savings and ROI to be realized by installing an automated trim and waste handling or waste reprocessing system, the company offers a preliminary form that may be completed online at www.airconvey.com/cgi-bin/quote.cgi, accessed by clicking Get a Quote. If additional details are required to accurately calculate the anticipated returns or if expert assistance is requested in completing the form, a PAC sales engineer can personally walk a customer through the process by phone.
