vs. The Competition
Thanks to the precut method of processing, the scrap when switching between products is negligible. With the changeover and setup scrap consideration, Accessory System users can produce smaller orders more frequently to virtually eliminate the need for holding finished inventory. In an effort to illustrate the profit opportunity available to you by choosing the B&K Accessory System, we have generated the following analysis. This information provides a conservative comparison between a conventional roll forming system and the B&K Accessory System in terms of production (profit) opportunity per month. This comparison is based on system changeover time from one product to another.

Shifts per Month | 20 | 20 |
Minutes per Month | 7,968 | 7,968 |
Tooling Changeovers per Month | 20 | 20 |
Minutes per Changeover | 120 | 20 |
Changeover Minutes per Month | 2,400 | 400 |
Available Productive Minutes per Month | 5,568 | 7,568 |
Feet of Product per Month | 835,200 | 1,135,200 |
Production Opportunity per Month (feet) | 300,000 |
The Accessory System Advantage
One of the main advantages of the B&K Accessory system over other drywall accessory roll forming machines is the rotary punching station. When running corner bead, resilient channel, or other continuous perforated pattern, the optional continuous pattern rotary punch offers unmatched production speed and compact design compared to tradition perforating methods. With no press or discrete feeding equipment, the operation, utility requirements and maintenance is greatly simplified and at higher speeds than conventional hole punching methods. When no hole punching is required, the rotary is simply rolled out of line and stored for later use.
