Wow! Only a 20% yield! What do you do with all the scrap?
ReplyDeleteI send it to the scrap company
DeleteA "20% yield" would mean (to me, anyway) that only 2 out of 10 finished parts were good.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Irish can come up with the correct term for an 80% raw to finished product......
That`s cool! I work in a printing factory. Talk about noise. (I can`t do ear-plugs)
ReplyDeleteOne of our customers was a large printing shop back when I was a Project Engineer for an Industrial Controls company.
DeleteThey had a couple of HUGE presses used for litho printing of cereal boxes, mac and cheese boxes, and large posters.
When all of the presses were running it was quite noisy, and I used to wear my hearing protectors.
It was amazing to see huge sheets of card stock come flying off the press printed for Kraft Macaroni and Cheese!
