Averages by Weight


  • Acceptable average – > 50 / kg / person / hour.
  • True increase expected when moisture content is within normal limits.
  • True decrease chiefly due to inadequate training, moisture content of feedstock, and electrical and mechanical failures.
  • Apparent decrease chiefly due to apathy and lack of supervision.
  • Train and re-train personnel and intensify supervision.
  • Periodical machinery maintenance.
  • Process batches that concur to accepted moisture limits.
