PROC-X ENGINEERING TOOLS
Fast preliminary calculations for mixing, milling, dosing, thermal processing, bulk handling and packaging. Built for process engineers, project teams and production managers.
ENGINEERING FIRST
These tools are intended for preliminary planning. Material behaviour, safety factors, scale-up, utilities and equipment geometry still need Proc-X engineering review.
Estimate mixer working volume and nominal total vessel volume from batch mass, bulk density and target fill percentage.
Calculate the percentage of total mixer volume occupied by the working batch.
Convert batch size and cycle time into hourly and daily production capacity.
Calculate liquid addition mass from a dry batch weight and percentage addition.
Convert ppm, percent or g/kg into the exact minor-ingredient addition for a batch.
Convert common bulk-density units used in process equipment sizing.
Estimate usable volume and stored product mass for cylindrical or rectangular vessels.
Estimate dry solids, final product mass, water to remove and average evaporation rate.
Estimate sensible heat load and average thermal duty from product mass, specific heat and temperature change.
Estimate refrigeration duty required to cool a batch from cook temperature to the target chilled temperature.
Estimate cylindrical tank volume plus a configurable allowance for heads or additional geometry.
Calculate tip speed from rotating element diameter and RPM.
Approximate US sieve mesh opening in microns. Use as a reference only; final PSD should be defined by particle analysis.
Estimate hourly and daily package output from nominal line speed and expected operating efficiency.
