Frequently asked questions

How many tiers of bins are safe?
It depends on container strength and equipment: for plastic bins usually 2–4 tiers; check the container datasheet.

The calculations are approximate: they help to assess the process and compare options, but do not replace a process design and trials on a specific raw material. This section is for reference only and contains no commercial offers.
