Industrial French Fry Production Line Cost & ROI
Investment is one of the most important considerations when planning a factory. Below is a general cost reference based on capacity:
| Capacity | Estimated Cost | Factory Size | ROI Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 kg/h | $100,000 – $300,000 | Small plant | 12–18 months |
| 1000 kg/h | $300,000 – $700,000 | Medium plant | 12–24 months |
| 2000 kg/h | $700,000 – $1,200,000+ | Large plant | 18–30 months |
Actual cost depends on several factors:
