Cost-to-Output Ratio Explained

Cost-to-Output Ratio Explained

 

 There are a lot of sleazy sales guys out there.

Salespeople - in general - certainly don’t have a reputation for saving you money!

There are honest salespeople out there - but it can be difficult to find honest anything, right?

No matter what you are trying to purchase, you can pay all the money you want for it.

Somewhere, there will be a salesperson to pitch a story to you that will make you believe their wares are the best, despite the price.

We fall for the heartfelt stories - the words that are lovingly crafted - willing you to feel for the salesperson and encouraging you to pull the trigger on your purchase.

Some stories are real, though, and those are the best ones. The honest ones, from the salespeople who genuinely believe in their products.

We can get behind people who convince us they really believe in what they are selling.

But how do you know if they are telling the truth?

How do you know who to trust with your cash?

For that matter, how do you know Spray Foam Equipment & Manufacturing is honest??

One of the best ways to dig out the truth is to do your research and pay attention to the details.

Compare the numbers and the product capabilities for your purchases, and you’ll know more about what you’re getting for your money.

Take spray foam machines, for instance.

Assuming that all of the spray foam machines you’re considering on the market are functional, it helps to compare them side-by-side.

Doing your research before investing in any foam machine is absolutely the way to go.

Spray Foam Equipment & Manufacturing WANTS you to do your research!

Oh - and you get the “distributor’s price,” because there are no actual distributors to mark the prices up on BOSS spray foam machines!

Nope.  

We keep prices low by selling you BOSS spray foam equipment directly to you.

You’re welcome!

How else do we compare BOSS proportioners with our competitors’ spray foam machines?

We use a ratio that describes the cost of what you get from a spray foam machine, regardless of brand.

It’s called the “cost-to-output ratio,” and goodness, it is enlightening!

Let us show you!

 

COST-TO-OUTPUT RATIO

You need a way to compare all of the spray foam machine prices on the market.

What does a spray foam machine really cost?

What is your money paying for?

You can pay almost anything you want for a spray foam machine, but what you get for your money varies drastically from company to company and brand to brand.

If you don’t know what you’re getting for your money, then you’re wasting it!

So what’s a comparable factor that is part of every spray foam machine? Output capabilities!

What if you compared the output capabilities of spray foam machines with their cost, using that ratio as a benchmark for what you get for your money?

Sounds like a good plan to us!

And there you have it - our favorite guiding principle for comparing spray foam machine prices - the Cost-to-Output ratio!

How do you find that number?

Divide the cost of the spray foam machine by the pounds per minute that the machine sprays, and voila! You’ve found the cost-to-output ratio.

If you compare the cost-to-output ratios for all of the spray foam machines you are considering, you’ll have a better gauge as to what your money is buying.

Yes, there are other factors to consider when choosing a spray foam machine.

There are preheaters & fluid pumps to examine!

There are bells and whistles admire!

Many factors come into play when choosing which machine best fits your spray foam contracting business.

But there are also many disparities between those elements, and they can be difficult to compare across brands.

Cost is cost, and output is output.

You can choose your favorite bells and whistles later.

Cost and output capabilities are directly comparable across the board.

We advocate for thorough research BEFORE investing in spray foam equipment. We truly do.

One of our guiding principles is putting the power back into the contractor’s hands - and research is certainly part of that power!

Go ahead - educate yourself on what is available to you so you can make an informed decision!

We will tell you this, though:

Spray Foam Equipment & Manufacturing has the best cost-to-output ratios out there!

 

COMPARISON OF MARKET COST-TO-OUTPUT RATIOS

BOSS proportioners have high output numbers and low costs.

That means that the cost-to-output ratios of BOSS spray foam machines are much lower than those of the competition.

Let’s look at some rough numbers as examples.

BOSS machines start at around $9000.

The output of all of our air-powered machines is a whopping 32 lbs/min!

(That’s a ginormous output, man!)

If you divide $9000 by 32 lbs/min, you end up with a cost-to-output ratio of ~280.  

That’s $280 for every pound per minute of output that a BOSS spray foam machine is capable of spraying.

And 280? That’s roughly 1/3 of the cost-to-output ratio of the competition’s comparable spray foam machines.

Yes, really.

As a rule, Spray Foam Equipment & Manufacturing’s BOSS spray foam machines run ~1/3 to 1/2 of the price of the competition!

That’s a significant difference!

Our 6/12K High Volume BOSS Proportioners - with their massive 12KW preheaters and their ability to spray both polyurea and foam insulation - run ~$12,500.

Being one of our air-powered machines, they can spray 32 lbs/min, as we stated above.

That’s a cost-to-output ratio of 391.

What about our biggest machines?

Our massive hydraulic machines run $19,975.

What’s their output capability?

Hold onto your hats - this might blow them right off your heads!

Our BOSS Hydraulic Proportioners are capable of spraying 64 lbs/min!! Yes. That’s really real.

So the cost-to-output ratio of our hydraulic proportioners? 312!

How do similar machines compare to BOSS cost-to-output ratios?

Typically, the cost is much higher for competitor’s machines, and their output capabilities are lower.  

Higher prices for lower outputs drive the cost-to-output ratios up.

A simple Google search will return current prices for spray foam machines on the market.

A $14,000 machine capable of spraying 18 lbs/min has a cost-to-output ratio of 778. (Yikes.)

$20,000 for an output capability of 20 lbs/min has a huge cost-to-output ratio of 1000.

$25,000 for 30 lbs/min is a bit better - at a cost-to-output ratio of 833. But, um, yeah…that’s still really high.

That’s $833 per pound of output each minute versus our $280.

You probably see our point.

In short, BOSS spray foam machines have much better cost-to-output ratios than competitors’ machines.  

There are other factors to consider when purchasing your spray foam machine - but the cost-to-output ratio sure is eye-opening!
