Plan the investment and working day

A useful investment decision connects the purchase with the work the equipment will do. Start with production capacity, then compare heating and energy across a complete workflow. Historical trials describe the equipment and energy prices of their time. Use current equipment pricing and your own production targets to build a relevant business case.

• Which heating options fit the process?
• What belongs in a running-cost comparison?
