How it works step by step
You may need to click on “Enable Editing” at the top of the spreadsheet before entering any data.
Under this category there are a list of 6 questions for you to answer. Below you will find the excel cell position, the description in the cell and you will need to enter your answer into the cell to the right of the description.
Enter the total number of machine tools, using metalworking fluid (MWF), in your shop.
In B6 enter the price you charge for your machining. This dollar amount should include the hourly cost of the machine itself, labor, consumables, overhead & profit to run the machine. When the machine is not producing parts, this what it costs your company in sales.
Add up the capacity of the sumps from each of the machines from cell (B5) and divide by the number of machines from cell (B5).
Enter the number of times you should be cleaning machines out each year into (B8). Ask your MWF representative his recommendation for clean outs each year per machine. Each machine may have a different recommendation based on how often it is used, type of raw material, and what it is producing.
Enter the average amount of time it takes to clean a sump without a CECOR Sump Shark into (B9). If you have 10 machines that take 8 hours each and 4 machines that take 4 hours each then you would enter the number 6.857. This was calculated with the following math: ((10 machines*8 hours) + (4 machines*4 hours) = 96 total hours for cleaning/14 total machines = 6.857.
Companies have different wage, taxes & benefit packages for their employees. We tend to use 30% increase in wage to cover this. An employee making $15.00 per hour costs the company $15.00 * 1.3 (30% increase in cost of employee for benefits, workers comp, health insurance, company paid taxes, etc). If this fits your company then enter $19.50 per hour into cell “B10”.
Under coolant costs, cell “D4”, you will find 3 questions to answer that correspond to your company.
Enter the concentration you keep your coolant at in cell “E5”.
Enter what you pay for your MWF per gallon into cell “E6”. You should include the cost of the product plus shipping to your site in this cell.
Enter the cost of storing & disposing of old coolant into “E7”.
Review the calculations for cleaning a sump without a Sump Shark. The total costs are in cell “B20”.
Review the calculations for cleaning a sump with a Sump Shark sump cleaner. The total costs are in cell “E20”.
