How to Use This Calculator

Enter your target throughput (parts per hour or parts per minute).
Set product length (mm) and minimum gap between products (mm) for safe handling.
Enter line efficiency (%) to account for downtime and stoppages.
Review required belt speed (m/min and mm/sec), product pitch, and index time between parts.

How the result changes with Line Efficiency

Target Throughput: Desired number of parts per minute passing a point.
Product Length: Length of the product in the direction of belt travel.
Product Gap: Minimum gap between consecutive products on the belt.
Line Efficiency: Overall equipment effectiveness accounting for stops and jams.
