Financial gains of having an automated parts cleaning system
Have you ever stopped to consider how much of your mechanics time is spent hand cleaning parts every day?
We recently worked with a customer based in Dublin to automate their cleaning processes. The company had 3 mechanics working in their workshop and they estimated that each mechanic spent on average 2 hours per day manually cleaning parts. The company wanted to investigate if an automated cleaning system would be economically viable for their business.
- Labour costs was estimated at €25 per hour including overheads.
- Each week that’s a total of 30 hours manual cleaning at €25 per hour @ €750 per week.
- Therefore over a month the cost was €3,000.
- And over a year the cost of manual cleaning was €36,000.
Not only would the company save €36,000 per year, it also freed up the mechanics to do more productive work. This had benefits for the company in both time and money.
Solvent cleaning is damaging to the environment & health. The Turbowash spray wash provides an economical environmentally friendly alternative to the labour intensive task of hand washing.
