Season and recovery balance
Translate a running raw-intake rate and productive time into seasonal raw and intermediate quantities.
Result boundary
Your inputs determine the balance
Enter the known conditions. No crop yield, equipment rating or commercial price is prefilled.
Equation and units
Effective hours/day = scheduled hours × productive fraction. Raw kg/day = running raw kg/h × effective hours/day. Recovered intermediate = raw mass × declared recovery.
Assumptions
- Define where the recovered intermediate is measured; it is not finished packaged output.
- Use representative recovery evidence or clearly label a preliminary assumption.
- Productive time is applied once. No automatically assigned fruit yield or nameplate capacity allowance.
Use the right boundary in your project brief
Save the inputs, units and assumptions with the result. The site team needs to know which stream and operating period the values describe.
