Don’t take our word for it. Take your own numbers.
We understand the scepticism. Payback in under a year reads like a marketing claim, which is why this page doesn’t ask you to believe anything. Put your own figures in: your labour rate, your shifts, your line speed, your downtime. The calculator does nothing clever with them. It simply compares the annual cost of feeding trays, cards or lids by hand against the cost of a machine doing the same job, with every assumption shown openly. Disagree with a figure? Change it, and watch the result move.
For most customers the arithmetic lands in the same place: payback in under 12 months on a single shift, and under six months across two or three. If your numbers say otherwise, that is worth knowing too, and we will tell you honestly whether a machine makes sense for your volumes. Talk to an engineer, not a salesperson.
