Wire-Life Cost-per-Day Calculator
A cheaper forming fabric is not always cheaper to run. Compare two fabrics by cost per operating day — fabric price plus change-out downtime, divided by wire life.
Fabric A
Fabric price (USD)
Wire life (days in machine)
Fabric B
Fabric price (USD)
Wire life (days in machine)
Downtime cost per fabric change (USD)
Fabric A — cost / operating day
Fabric B — cost / operating day
Request a wire-life estimate for your machine
You enter your own figures — this tool does no assuming. Actual wire life depends on machine speed, grade, drainage elements and fabric specification.
