Crush Pad Throughput Tonnes Day Calculator

Audit actual serial crush-pad stage daily capacities and all tied bottlenecks from measured rates/scheduled productive hours; buffers, startup dependencies, batch yields and queuing excluded, no guaranteed output.

Description

Serial crush-pad capacity is constrained by its lowest modeled station capacity.

Serial crush-pad capacity is constrained by its lowest modeled station capacity. Equal limiting capacities create multiple bottlenecks.^[1]

Enter aligned nonempty unique station IDs, positive rates, hours 0–24 and nonnegative incoming tonnes. Return station/line capacities, all tied bottleneck IDs and clipped incoming excess.

When to use Crush Pad Throughput Tonnes Day Calculator

Use Crush Pad Throughput Tonnes Day Calculator when you need to evaluate the supplied records under the calculation and evidence rules below. No buffers, batch yield, start-up dependencies or queuing are modeled.

Prepare the measured vineyard records, aligned lists and independently verified local limits or catalog requested. Keep units, crop stages and observation periods consistent.

How to use Crush Pad Throughput Tonnes Day Calculator and understand its results

Prepare the measured vineyard records, aligned lists and independently verified local limits or catalog requested. Keep units, crop stages and observation periods consistent.
Enter crushStationIds, measuredStationTonnesPerProductiveHour, callerDailyProductiveHours, callerDailyIncomingTonnes using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
Read modeledDailyStationCapacityTonnes, modeledDailySerialLineCapacityTonnes, bottleneckStationIds, incomingTonnesAboveModeledLineBudget. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.

Input field	Meaning	Value type; see rules below	Requirement
crushStationIds	Crush station ids	list of string	Required
measuredStationTonnesPerProductiveHour	Measured station tonnes per productive hour	list of number	Required
callerDailyProductiveHours	Caller daily productive hours	list of number	Required
callerDailyIncomingTonnes	Caller daily incoming tonnes	number	Required

Enter aligned nonempty unique station IDs, positive rates, hours 0–24 and nonnegative incoming tonnes. Return station/line capacities, all tied bottleneck IDs and clipped incoming excess.

stationDaily=rate×productiveHours; line=min(stationDaily)

Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.

Output field	Meaning	Value type
modeledDailyStationCapacityTonnes	Modeled daily station capacity tonnes	list of number
modeledDailySerialLineCapacityTonnes	Modeled daily serial line capacity tonnes	number
bottleneckStationIds	Bottleneck station ids	list of string
incomingTonnesAboveModeledLineBudget	Incoming tonnes above modeled line budget	number

Limitations and assumptions

No buffers, batch yield, start-up dependencies or queuing are modeled.

Numeric inputs, where present, must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Numeric lists are limited to 10,000 entries; string lists to 128 strings of at most 128 characters each. The rules above may impose smaller limits. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Use Harvester Throughput Hectares Hour Calculator: Harvester throughput depends on whether hours include downtime. Unequal sessions should be pooled by area and exposure. For a complementary task, use Gondola Loads Per Hectare Calculator: Whole gondola loads depend on usable payload and whether blocks may share final loads. Capacity rounding affects unused space.
