When does a BTD firewood processor pay for itself?
The payback period of a BTD firewood processor depends on the specific operating situation. There is no fixed payback period that applies equally to every user.
Important factors include:
- the purchase price of the machine;
- the annual volume of wood produced;
- the purchase price of roundwood;
- the selling price of firewood;
- labour costs;
- fuel and energy costs;
- maintenance and wear costs;
- the organisation of feeding, processing, transport and storage.
How is the payback period calculated?
As a general rule, the higher the margin per cubic metre and the greater the annual production volume, the faster the investment can pay for itself.
BTD Technics provides an ROI calculator for this purpose. It allows you to calculate, among other things:
- the margin per m³;
- the estimated annual profit;
- the indicative payback period.

Which factors can improve profitability?
The payback period can be influenced by factors such as:
- efficient organisation of the workplace;
- fewer manual work steps;
- optimal use of the existing carrier vehicle;
- a higher annual production volume;
- a suitable match between machine, wood type and desired production capacity.
Conclusion
The actual payback period depends on your own production data, costs and selling prices. Use the BTD ROI calculator to obtain an individual estimate based on your own figures.
