Question

A concrete batch plant has a batching chamber capacity of 12.5 cy and an average batching cycle time of 3 min. Plant efficiency is 84%. What is the estimated batching production in cy/hr?

Answer 1

The estimated batching production is 210 cy/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

capacity of the batching chamber of the plant, Q = 12.5 cy

average batching cycle time, t = 3 min

plant efficiency, n = 84 %

The estimated batching production is calculated as efficiency of the machine multiplied by the production rate in hour. This is given by the solution below;

Batching production = (nQ )/ t

`Batching \ production = 0.84((12.5 \ cy)/(3 \ min) *(60 \ min)/(1 \ hr))\\\\ Batching \ production = 210 \ cy/hr`

Therefore, the estimated batching production is 210 cy/hr
