What does the calculator take into account?
Only the containers, stacks and area with aisles; racking, automated stores and storage conditions are not considered.

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.
