How much can you earn with an industrial shredder?

Assumptions:

1. 1,000 lb. Bales get $150.00 per ton but also assuming cost of $10.00 per bale transport cost so net per ton is $140.00.
2. 16.86 with 47504 baler produces only 150 lb bales max so the value at the mill is only $95.00 per ton as it has to be re-baled minus $10.00 per ton transportation cost, $85.00 lb.
3. Amortization is based on street price with simple interest loan 60 month term 10% interest rate. Value is payment /126 for 6 hour days 5 days per week and payment/252 for 12 hours days 5 days per week.
4. Labor cost is hourly rate plus taxes and benefits.
5. 16 series shredders do not need a higher cost operator.
6. Power consumption is computed using the rating of the combination of the shredder and baler in kW times hours of operation times $0.22 kW/hr electrical costs.
7. Freight and Installation are not included as that is very variable, but negligible in the long term.
8. Maintenance values are probably 50% too high because I do not have large scale quantitative numbers to use and the numbers we do have show very few issues. However, even at the rate included in the formula, it is 2/3 less than having a full time maintenance person which is common with the large Amerishred or Allegheny type units. This is important to point out for lifecycle costs--A qualified maintenance tech is going to be $45,000 to $60,000 per year times life of machine. An intimus product will cost $30k to $40k less per year to run. Over 10 years that is $300k to $400k in savings.
9. Throughput is based on 90% of rating for larger units and 70% for the 16.86 as the bales have to be changed more often.
10. The VZ 20 needs two operators that is why the labor is higher.
11. The 14.87 unit is on here as a justification of self shredding rather than paying for service. The cost to run would be offset by eliminating blue bin service.
