Commercializing the Kunst 1600 Dry Piston Vacuum Pump

Q1. List the major quantifiable value and price elements associated with the Kunst 1600.
Answer:
With its enhanced features, the Kunst 1600 is able to pump just as efficiently as a traditional 6 CFM pump in the same amount of time, but because it is a compressor, it can run longer and cooler than any conventional pump and requires no oil changes! Savings on oil changes, cleanup costs, and disposal fees alone can equal almost $1,300* per year! Additionally, when compared to traditional pumps’ lifecycles, the Kunst 1600, with a projected life in the field of 6 years, has an operating lifespan almost 2.5 times longer** than traditional pumps, significantly decreasing replacement costs. Last, Kunst 1600’s aluminum casing makes it 5-10 pounds lighter than a traditional pump, which eases the burden of hauling around heavy equipment.

*Oil change (for traditional 6 CFM pump) = price of labor + price of oil + price of towels + price of soap + price of disposal
$24.90 = $15 + $8 + 15¢ + 50¢ + $1.25
If done only once per week, oil changes in one year = $24.90 x 52 = $1,294.80
**According to traditional pump wholesale managers
