  2. Slide Contents
    1. Slides 3, 4 and 5 are background information on the current process and packing.
    2. Slide 6 is line rates at 500 kg/hour to 700 kg/hour.
    3. Slide 7 is the option summary for 500 kg/hour to 700 kg/hour possible solutions.
    4. Slide 8 is the option proposals and estimated costs.
  3. Line Rates
    1. Note for design purposes waste figures and efficiency of operation will not be considered.
    2. Only maximum output will be used for our proposals.
    3. The design of the secondary packing solution will reflect the maximum output that the process can deliver with no losses, plus a % headspace.
    4. This scenario will create a packing pull on the process.
    5. Assumption: 5s and 20s numbers reflect total number of bags in the format.
