Cost Savings Example
Let’s assume you are filling coffee into 2-ounce packs on a vertical form/fill/seal machine. The following conditions apply:
• The cost of coffee is $2.00/lb.
• Packs are filled at a rate of 80/minute.
• The plant runs 2 shifts, 5 days/week.
If a Spee-Dee® Auger Filler can save 1/2 of 1% of each package, what would the annual savings be?
