The controversy over the investment cost of filling machines and labor costs

1.Initial investment cost

Investment cost of filler: The purchase cost of fillers is usually high, which is a one-time investment. The specific price varies depending factors such as equipment model, production capacity, and technical level, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Labor costs: The initial investment is low, mainly the cost of purchasing some basic filling tools. However, in the long run, it is necessary to continuously pay employees' salaries, benefits, etc and with the changes in the labor market, labor costs have an upward trend.

2.Operational efficiency and cost

Operation efficiency of filling machines: Mechanized operations greatly improve filling speed, reduce downtime, and can complete large filling tasks in a short period of. In the long run, due to the high efficiency of mechanization, the unit filling cost will gradually decrease.

Labor costs: Although manual filling has certain flexibility its efficiency is relatively low when facing long working hours and large tasks, and the output is limited by human fatigue and other factors. Labor costs increase with the increase production volume, and it is difficult to infinitely increase production efficiency by simply increasing the number of workers.

3.Product quality and stability

Product quality of filling machines: Mechanized operations ensure product consistency and accuracy, with almost identical filling amounts per bucket, enhancing product quality.

Labor and quality stability: Affected by human factors, the accuracy of manual filling may fluctuate, making it difficult to ensure complete uniformity in product quality.

4.Development trend

Technical development trend of filling machines: With the advancement of technology, filling machines may be further upgraded and optimized, improving production efficiency. In the term, their technical and efficiency advantages will become more obvious.

Trend in labor costs: With the increase in labor costs and the widespread adoption of automation technology, cost-effectiveness of manual filling may gradually decrease.

In summary, the controversy between the investment cost of filling machines and labor costs lies in the balance between initial investment and long-term benefits. Although initial investment in filling machines is high, from the perspective of long-term operation, efficiency, product quality, and development trend, its cost-effectiveness is obviously better manual filling. We should make a comprehensive evaluation based on our own actual situation and market demand before making a decision.
