From Manual To Fully Automated: Calculating The Payback Period For A Plastic Drip Molding Machine?

1, The implicit cost of manual drip molding
A skilled worker earns a monthly salary of approximately $1000-1100, with an annual comprehensive cost exceeding $11000 (including social security, waste, and management energy)
The yield rate fluctuates greatly, and the loss of waste consumes hundreds of dollars in profits every month
2, Fully automatic drip molding machine put into operation
Equipment: $5500-11000 (Economy 2-4 Head)
Monthly consumables+electricity fee: approximately $70
One person can view multiple units, significantly reducing labor costs
3, 3-4 people on top of one machine
Handmade: About 200-300 drops per hour per person
4-head fully automatic: 1000-1500 drop molding points per hour, capable of 24-hour operation
4, Cost recovery calculation (taking replacing 3 manual workers as an example)
Project manual (3 people) fully automatic
Annual labor and operating costs are approximately $34000 and $4300 respectively
Annual savings - approximately 29700 US dollars
Equipment investment of $8300 ÷ annual savings of 29700 ≈ 0.28 years

About 3.5 months to recoup costs, and then earn over $25000 annually thereafter
 

5, Extra income
Having more confidence in accepting large orders and meeting delivery deadlines

Good product rate of 97%+, significantly reduced customer complaints
