It is always interesting to talk to business owners who hand-clean items related to their business. They all have one common denominator on this front… cleaning takes forever. We see this with jewelry, guns, garages, and a host of other small businesses. We always ask the same question… could your employees improve your bottom line if they were doing something else rather than spending hours each week cleaning. Of course, the answer is “yes.” Once that question is answered, there is only one more question that needs to be answered… why are you not using an ultrasonic tabletop unit?
Cleaning Those Delicate Parts Quickly
We have a custom-jewelry shop here in town. The shop is interesting in that the back walls of the front service area are all glass so you can see the employees in the back making, servicing, and cleaning jewelry. While stopping in one day, I watched an employee spend about 10-15 minutes cleaning some small piece because of how intricate it was.
This spurred a conversation about how much time the employee spent cleaning jewelry parts. To my astonishment, the owner told me that was all that employee did. His sole purpose was to clean the jewelry for the makers and service technicians. This one employee was spending 40 hours a week on that task.
In this example, the shop owner could easily recover the cost of an ultrasonic tabletop unit by having that same employee run the cleaner but also perform other duties, making for a quicker turnaround time for its customers. If more jewelry is made or serviced, that means more profitability without adding any labor. It is just a matter of time before the cost of the unit is recovered, then everything over and above the norm from that point forward is profit that would never have been realized without using an ultrasonic cleaner.
For small business owners in this example, tabletop units are a perfect solution. These units are often no larger than a microwave oven or toaster oven, so there is no need to rearrange the entire shop to find space for the unit.
If you are ready to talk about adding an ultrasonic tabletop unit for your business, give us a call at 888-989-5560.
