The data you need to maintain production efficiency
How it works
Enter all the values. Note: all fields are required for results.
For metric applications: 1″ = 25.4mm
That’s it. The calculator will give you a fast read-out. You can also share your results with us, so our stiff extrusion experts can help you keep an eye on production.
If you want to reduce run hours or increase production at a lower operating cost, talk to your Steele representative about establishing an efficiency baseline.
Recommended Efficiency
Your production efficiency is based on your production parameters. A Steele rep can visit your plant or provide virtual assistance to establish baseline efficiency.
