Conventional countermeasures

Handled by workers

  • Labor costs are high.

Words from the worksite

Reduced labor cost for addressing clogging

Labor cost per worker: $20/hour x Working time of 5 minutes x 5 lines x 8 hours x 250 days = $16,700/year

The system can be made flexible to address increased/decreased numbers of lines.
