When to replace dryers?

[Bunny]

I am considering replacing my very old 30 pound Heubsch dryers. They all work fine and give me no trouble but they are very inefficient at 95000 BTU/hr. My customers like them because they are very hot and dry quickly. Based on utilities savings I can calculate the payback time. What I can't predict is what effect new dryers will have on my dryer revenue. Does anyone have experience in this area? Should I expect new dryers to dry faster or slower than what I've got assuming the same temperature?

We had the same idea but besides the gas saveing we went with 30# stack dryers and it gave us a lot more room to use for folding etc. Customers love em we went with Dexter stacks

Was there any noticeable change in dryer revenue?

[neal]

There was for us because it added more dryers then we had before. They dry faster so no backups

If your close to Arkansas I might take the old ones off your hands
