Warren Buffet once said, “Price is what you pay, value is what you get.” These words have a very significant meaning when a company is trying to make an important decision. Everyone knows the purchase price of new equipment, but very few understand its value. When looking for great growth opportunities, what matters is the value of the equipment, not the price. For your business, the Toyo Jidoki TT-9CW offers value far beyond the numbers listed on the price. Toyo Jidoki TT-9CW is a 2011 state-of-the-art automated preform rotary filling machine. This machine has a filling volume range of 50 to 350 cc and can accommodate pouches of various sizes, from 80 mm wide by 100 mm high at 150mm wide by 150mm high. This range of allowable dimensions makes the machine versatile and capable of handling a wide range of products. This machine can operate safely at a speed of 100 pouches per minute, a significant increase over the maximum filling speed of 60 pouches per minute on the TT-8CN your company currently uses. The TT-9CW is also more energy efficient than the TT-8CN, meaning savings in overall operating costs. With increased production capacity and increased energy efficiency, this new pouch filler could be the competitive advantage your company is looking for based on production speed and energy savings alone, but this product has even more to offer in terms of business expansion and growth. The new TT-9CW is capable of more than just high production speeds: it can also run products that are currently not available to run on the TT-8CN machines operating in your facilities. One of these new options is the pre-formed “spout” pouch. This type of envelope is currently handled by another company...half of paper......pen and waiting to be filled by any company that can meet its needs. This market could be yours if an equipment upgrade is made from the TT-8CN to the TT-9CW before another company recognizes this opportunity. This circumstance is best surmised by Alex Noble, who said: “Risk is essential. There is no inspiring growth in staying within what is safe and comfortable.” Works Cited• Debra Gunion, training supervisor for envelope filling company, interviewed 11/11/13• Steven (Stu) Wegner, former plant manager for envelope filling company, interviewed 13/13 11/13 • BrainyQuote.
