Waste stripping is an indispensable step during the production of carton boxes. Some factories will use waste-stripping machines, while others will use manual processing.
How much would it cost to hire a worker to handle the stripping process?
Here are the hourly average wages in several European countries:
- An average printing worker in Germany earns about €16 to 23 per hour.
- An average printing worker in France earns around €13 to 20 per hour.
- An average printing worker in Italy earns around €14 to 22 per hour.
- An average printing worker in the United Kingdom earns around £9 to 18 per hour.
We were able to estimate that a normal worker in a printing plant would earn around 2,500€ based on this information.
It takes about 1 hour 2 hours for a worker to finish stripping a whole pile of sheets; with an 8-hour workday, a worker can only finish stripping 4-8 piles of sheets; at this point, the factory will need to hire more workers for the stripping process.
For two employees, the printing company shall pay €5000 per month.
For three, the company shall pay €7500 per month.
Stripping machine’s operational efficiency and cost
Let us now take a look at the waste stripping machine’s operational efficiency and cost:
It takes about 20 minutes for the 1020 model double-head machine to stripping the whole pile of sheets. Calculated as 8 hours a day, a waste stripper can handle 32 piles of sheets every day. This work efficiency, equivalent to 4 printing workers, stripping machine is 3-4 times the efficiency of manual stripping!
Based on our daily wage, a waste stripper generates at least 4x 2500 € per day. This is a shocking statistic. You may have doubts about the actual working efficiency of the waste stripping machine, here below you may see the working video.
According to the video, the stripper only takes 1-1.5minutes to handle the sheets in height of 8cm, so the time to produce a whole pallet of products is approximately 20 minutes. Furthermore, only one worker is required to complete all process coordination.
Based on previous data, a waste stripper only requires the salary of one worker plus the cost of electricity for this equipment, which is approximate:
Other benefits of using a waste stripping blanking machine include
1. Improved product protection
It addresses the issue of edge damages from manual stripping, which results in unnecessary loss, and after stripping, the finished products will be stacked neatly.
2. Improve the workshop environment
A large amount of waste paper will be generated during the manual stripping process, polluting the factory environment. With the help of our stripping machine, workers can easily dispose of all the waste paper into the discharge channel, and this will make the better working environment.
3. Stable Cost
Labor costs will continue to rise, necessitating additional management costs, but expenditure on machinery and equipment will remain relatively constant.
