Calculate Your Pellet Machine ROI — Know Your Payback Before You Invest
Making the decision to invest in a pellet machine like a miniPelleter starts with one question: how fast will it pay for itself?
The miniPelleter ROI Calculator gives you a clear, data-driven answer in seconds.
Set your raw material, production capacity, daily working hours, and your expected profit per tonne — and instantly see your daily, monthly and annual output alongside your real payback period.
From Sawdust to Straw — One Machine, Many Raw Materials
Pelleting is one of the most versatile densification processes in modern manufacturing.
The miniPelleter handles a broad spectrum of feedstocks — wood chips and sawdust, agricultural straw, animal feed grain, organic fertilizers, and even recycled plastic — each with its own throughput range and market value.
Use the calculator to compare scenarios and find the combination that maximises your return.
How the ROI Calculation Works
The miniPelleter ROI Calculator uses four variables to give you a precise financial projection:
-
Throughput (t/h) — The amount of material processed per hour.
-
Working Hours per Day — You control your shift schedule: from 6 hours (single shift) to 18 hours (double shift).
-
Working Days per Month — Real-world operations rarely run 31 days. Set your actual calendar.
-
Net Profit per Tonne — This is your margin after raw material cost, energy, and labour.
Formula applied:
-
Daily Output = Throughput × Hours/day
-
Monthly Output = Daily Output × Working Days/month
-
Annual Output = Monthly Output × 12
-
Annual Net Profit = Annual Output × Net Profit/tonne
-
Payback Period = CAPEX ÷ Annual Net Profit × 12 months
