Would you be pleased if you could immediately add $68,656.50 to your profits this quarter?
Here’s a quick story from one of our customers …
They are a large manufacturing company, which won a contract to build 99 de-icing trucks.
De-icing trucks are a prime example of when you really WANT surge suppression …
As you can imagine, as these trucks go about their work, they are constantly moving AND expelling their load.
Lots of movement, partial load, never the same volume.
That equals the perfect conditions for dangerous surge.
This company was wise though, they were planning to load all of their trucks with surge suppression.
BUT
Their initial plan was to use a competitor to ours, Baffle Balls.
Now, if you’ve followed our emails and read our documents, you might already know that compared to Baffle Balls, Surge Busters take up half as much volume and weigh less.
I showed him the simple math which made the decision easy.
For a 1850 gallon truck going to Kansas, the cost to install Baffle Balls is
Baffle Ball Delivered – $14.25
Assembly & Installation – 1.00
Baffle Ball Installed Cost – $15.25
Units Required – 105
Monroe Total Cost $1601.25
To use Surge Busters, based on your costs:
Surge Buster Delivered – $18.17
Assembly & Installation – 2.13
SB Installed Cost – $20.30
Units Required – 65
Monroe Total Cost $1319.50
This is a cost savings of $281.75 per truck. 99 trucks totals $27,893 in savings. Monroe would simply have to order 1000 Surge Busters at a time to make these numbers work.
However, at 14 gallons per Baffle Ball, the 1850G truck should receive 132 Baffle Balls in order to be warranted, at a cost of $2013.
Compared to $1319.50 for Surge Busters, the $693.50 difference per truck would SAVE $68,656.50 over an order for 99 trucks.
That difference would all be profit, a lot of money (that’s a year’s Salary right there in a lot of places).
If your question is how can we use so many fewer Surge Busters, it is because their mode of action is completely different.
The goal of Baffle Balls is to keep the liquid from moving very far.
Surge Busters actually absorb 96% of the energy.
Surge Busters have other benefits also, like less liquid displaced, less weight, and less retained liquid in the tank.
In this application, one Surge Buster is required for every 28 gallons of de-icing solution.
Curious how this can apply for your scenario?
