Example:

If you .....

• have a production rate
  of 20,000 lbs/hour
• operate 16 hours per day,
  5 days per week, 22 days
  per month
• sell your product for
  $0.40 per pound
• currently dry to a targeted moisture of 8%
• can raise the targeted moisture level out of the dryer to 10% because of reduced moisture variation from the extruder to the dryer.

You would be producing over
an additional

    1,877,314 lbs/year

and

could be enjoying an additional $750,925 per year of revenue
for the same amount of raw material, manhours, wear and
tear, and less in utilities.

This page is for assistance in calculating the theoretical increased revenue that would be experienced by being able to dry to a higher targeted moisture content. With tighter moisture control from the extruder, there is no need to sacrifice the yield potential that the added moisture permits.

This page is not to be interpreted as a warranty of increased revenue as a result of applying the BCI AUTOPILOT® extruder control system.
