5-Year savings with Cenwan dual-channel integrated line
How this estimates: Dual-channel TCO = CAPEX + (€-to-USD operating × hours × years) + (3 operators × wage × hours × years). Two-single-lane TCO = (2 × single CAPEX) + (separate cutter+packer CAPEX) + (2 × single operating × hours × years) + (6 operators × wage × hours × years). EUR/USD treated 1:1 for input simplicity. Assumes single-lane runs need 3 operators per machine (feeder + middle + receiving) plus 1 shared for cutter/packer = 7 operators total; dual-channel needs 3.
