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.
