Pellet Die TCO Calculator

Estimate annual die-replacement savings when running TCPEL 20CrMnTi case-carburized dies versus standard GCr15 dies. Service life ranges are based on published industry data: 20CrMnTi spans 1,800-2,500 hours, whereas GCr15 typically yields 1,200-1,800 hours.

Note: Estimates exclude the downtime cost of die changeover (typically 4-8 hours per instance), direct labor, and logistics freight. Real-world financial savings frequently exceed the figure shown above due to increased production uptime. Request a comprehensive TCO study tailored to your specific facility for deeper analysis.
