Appendix 3: Line Speeds per Product Frequency
Appendix 3: Line Speeds per Product Frequency
This table shows a reference to line speeds according to the product pitch (gap between products)
and the products per minute.
The formula used to calculate the line speed is defined, together with an example, below. The
formula can be used to calculate the speed of specific product pitches and/or product frequencies
not shown in the above table.
Line Speed (m/s) = No. of products per second / No. of products per metre
OR
Line Speed (m/s) = No. of products per second x Pitch between products (metres)
An Example:
product product
product
product product
product
20 cm pitch
One second
One metre
Five products
1 metre per second line speed
5

5 products / 1 second
5 products 1 second x 0.2 metre per second line speed
