Required Input - Enter your total purchases of HRPO flat rolled steel, both coil and sheet, for an average year.

Required Input - Enter in inches. For converting gauge to inches click down on the red button.

Required Input - The hourly wage paid to factory labor.

Wage rate plus benefits, payroll taxes, etc. Computed as 1.5 x wage rate. DOES NOT INCLUDE OVERHEAD COSTS (burden).

Required Input

SCS is often sold at the same price HRPO, so there may be no savings . If your SCS price is less (or more) than HRPO, enter your prices for both in the green boxes below and click on the override checkbox.

Savings in paint prep labor over HRPO, plus savings at laser or plasma cutting work centers due to faster SCS cutting speeds.

SCS reduces lost labor and scrapped sheets from handling accidents, skin irritation, jams from stuck sheets, etc., that accompany using HRPO.

SCS saves labor for cleaning of controls, conveyors, tools, machines, etc. to remove the grime & dirt from HRPO.

Required only IF you wish to use capacity recovery calculations. Enter rough annual sales of products with HRPO steel content.

Required only for capacity recovery calculations. Enter value less than 100. No recovery is figured if operating at capacity of 75% or less.

SCS boosts output by reducing interruptions from oily blanks sticking together and downtime to clean equipment.

SCS increases output because less prep work is needed and weld rejects decrease relative to HRPO.

SCS increases uptime because there's less  blanks sticking at feed, at transfer and sticking against dies and tooling.

SCS can reduce part rejection from tool slip on excess oil, plus line stops to clean tooling and remove punchouts stuck on oil in tools.

SCS increases output with faster cutting speeds, less frequent replacement of lenses & exhaust filters, and fewer part rejects due to springback.

Handling SCS reduces sheet sticking and shutdown of  stackers, conveyors, etc. for cleaning.

SCS can use a leaner paint prep - fewer stages and less handling. The pre-paint area can be reconfigured for SCS' 'lean' process to further increase throughput.

SCS reduces paint problems and repaint or touch up needed because HRPO oil fouled the pre-paint solution or rust developed in handling HRPO

If you destack sheets, some capacity is lost to HRPO (sheets sticking and stopping production lines) even if you did not select a bottleneck operation. Using SCS restores that lost capacity.

With SCS you buy less handling gloves, rags, solvent and cleaner.

With SCS there's less frequent replacement of laser lenses and exhaust filters that get fouled with oil.

Welding SCS can reduce consumption of filler wire & respirator cartridges (to protect from weld fumes).

SCS' leaner paint prep reduces purchase of prep solutions, solvents applicators, exhaust filtering and respirators, and cuts storage & disposal costs
