Blend Yield at 99% target blend yield: a worked example
Push target blend yield up to 99% and the picture changes. This example computes every intermediate figure at that operating point. A production or formulation team needs to know how much finished blend a powder batch actually yields after sampling, transfer loss, and hold-up in the blender.
The inputs for this scenario
- Released blend weight: 238 kg (unchanged)
- Total batch weight charged: 250 kg (unchanged)
- Target blend yield: 99 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 97)
Working through the calculation
- Applying the documented formula (Blend yield = released blend weight ÷ total batch weight charged × 100) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
- At this operating point the engine returns 95.2 % for blend yield, the number this scenario is built around.
- At this operating point the engine returns 3.8 points for yield gap to target.
- At this operating point the engine returns 238 kg for released blend weight.
- At this operating point the engine returns 250 kg for total batch weight charged.
How this compares with the baseline
- Against the tool's baseline example, where target blend yield sits at 97% and the headline result is 95.2 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 95.2 %.
- It computes blend yield as released weight divided by total charged weight, and reports the gap in points between that yield and your target. The value of this scenario is the size of the gap it exposes: that gap, priced out over a year, is the budget you can justify spending to close it.
