Estimate material requirements and prepare site inputs with the assumptions visible. These tools support a project discussion; they do not issue a validated design.
Translate a running raw-intake rate and productive time into seasonal raw and intermediate quantities.
Effective hours/day = scheduled hours × productive fraction. Raw kg/day = running raw kg/h × effective hours/day. Recovered intermediate = raw mass × declared recovery.
Calculate retained soluble component, concentrated output and removed water at a specified recovered-feed boundary.
Concentrated product kg/h = feed kg/h × inlet soluble-solids fraction ÷ target fraction. Removed water = feed − concentrated product.
Keep running product mass and average packing output separate. This is a mass requirement, not a speed promise.
Running packs/h = available product kg/h ÷ declared net kg/pack. Scheduled average = running packs/h × productive packing fraction.
Prepare the site dimensions, operating movements, access and service questions for layout engineering.
