What it does
Submit your moulded pulp line data (tool cavity count, cycle time, reject rate, labour). The Moulded Pulp Cost Analyser calculates cost per unit at live PackIndex fibre prices, compares your yield against benchmark, and ranks the adjustments that recover the most cost per unit.
Example use case
A moulded pulp plant making end-caps at 820 units/hr vs 960 theoretical. The analyser calculates a 14.6% throughput gap, attributes it to drying cycle inefficiency, and models the cost recovery from a 5% cycle time reduction — £22,000/year at current OCC pricing.
Frequently asked questions
What input data is needed?
Tool specification, cycle time (wet + dry), actual vs theoretical output rate, reject rate and reasons, labour cost.
What PackIndex prices are used?
OCC (primary fibre input), NBSK (virgin pulp supplement), and energy via GAS_NBP.
Does it handle multi-cavity tools?
Yes — the agent calculates per-cavity and per-shift economics.
