s of line efficiencies of which we would have no knowledge. For the savings calculation we will assume a reduction of 1% in peel loss for a line rate of 30,000 kg/hr and 6,000 operating hours. The other major factor in the calculation is the price of potatoes. Historically the price fluctuates from year to year. As an example for raw product cost of 125 per ton, the savings for a 1% reduction in peel loss would be 225,000 per year.
(Calculation: 6000 hrs/year Operating Time x 30 ton/hr x 0,01%
