How the Portion Cutter ROI and Yield Improvement Calculator Works
The Portion Cutter ROI and Yield Improvement Calculator will take less than two minutes to complete. The information you enter will be treated in the strictest confidence. To get an accurate calculation, you will be asked to enter:
- Kg per day that you portion
- Price of prime portioned and trimmed byproduct
- Current yield per day
- Number of operators portioning
- Operator hourly rate
- Working hours per day
- Production days per year
The calculator will then give you an estimated payback time on your portion cutting machine investment as well as an estimate of the ongoing increase in yield you can expect.
The calculator was developed by SF Engineering engineers based on our extensive experience in the industry and our strong partnership with leading equipment manufacturer Marelec.
Improving Yield on Your Production Line
Improving yield in the food processing sector has never been more important as margins are squeezed and manufacturers face challenges on multiple fronts, including skills availability, changing customer demands, and high energy costs.
Marelec’s portion cutting machines offer multiple benefits, including throughput and hygiene benefits, but top of the list is yield improvement. You will experience improvements in yield whether you are upgrading a manual portioning process or replacing an older portioning machine.
