Weighing, Dosing & Loss-in-Weight Feeding calculator

Feeder-To-Line Speed Matching Calculator

Match ingredient delivery to a moving production line. Enter measured line speed, required grams per meter and verified feeder kilograms per hour.

What this calculator does

  • Match ingredient delivery to a moving production line.

Formula used

  • Required kg/hr = Line m/min × Ingredient g/m × 60 ÷ 1000
  • Feed margin = Available kg/hr − Required kg/hr
  • Supported m/min = Available kg/hr × 1000 ÷ (Ingredient g/m × 60)

Inputs explained

  • Measured Production Line Speed: Line speed at the material application point.
  • Required Ingredient per Line Meter: Qualified ingredient loading on each meter of product.
  • Available Ingredient Feed Rate: Verified ingredient delivery at the intended feeder setting.

How to use the result

  • Best suited to extrusion additive matching, continuous coating feed reviews.
  • Does not simulate transient acceleration, transport lag or application uniformity.

Common questions

  • Should I enter motor or product speed? Enter actual product speed at the ingredient application point.
  • Can I use grams per square meter? Convert it to grams per line meter using the coated width before entering the loading.
  • Does positive margin guarantee uniform application? No. It checks average mass capacity; mixing, spreading and control dynamics still matter.
  • Why show supported line speed? It gives the steady line speed corresponding to the available mass flow and the required ingredient loading.
