+ Set the records you want a year and the share of splatter and other + specials. The calculator sizes the press fleet from Newbilt Duplex systems + (two HRP 12 presses, an EX 50 and an EX 35 colour extruder each) and Newbilt + Classic automatic presses, starting from the planned two Duplex systems and + one Classic. It then lists what that fleet needs: people, power, central + hydraulics, steam, cooling, compressed air, floor, compound and stampers. + Vendor figures are from Newbilt's Duplex site requirements and offer; the + rest are planning figures and estimates from the CNX Vinyl documents. Every + figure can be changed under Assumptions. +

+
+ +
+
+

Fleets from the start fleet to a full Payap press hall (about 870 m²: + the two Duplex bays plus the Classic and ten more Classic positions, or the same floor + with more Duplex systems), at the current settings. Click a row to load it.

Assumptions

+

Every result above comes from these figures. Changed values are + kept in the link, so a scenario can be shared with "Copy link".

+
+
+ + +
+
+ +
+

Basis and limits

+

Classic utilities. Newbilt has published no power, steam, cooling or weight figures for + the Classic, so it counts here as one HRP 12 press plus one extruder on the central hydraulics. + Cross-check from the Toolex Alpha leaflet the Classic is based on: 1.2 kg steam, 15 l cooling + water, 18 l air and 3.15 l hydraulic oil per cycle (about 144 kg/h of steam at 2 a minute), + 2.18 × 1.30 m, 1,850 kg. These go into the re-quote questions in pressing-line.md.

+

EX 35. Counted at the EX 50's electrical, air and water figures; it is the smaller + extruder, so this errs high.

+

Central hydraulics. Newbilt's aggregate serves two presses; the per-press figures are + half of it, summed without any diversity. Whether the Classic can run from the shared plant + is an open question for Newbilt.

+

Peaks add up. Steam, cooling and air are summed at each machine's peak, as Newbilt + states them. A real plant staggers cycles, so the boiler and chiller can be sized lower once + a utility engineer has the cycle data.

+

Not scaled here: mastering (1 to 2), QC (1 to 2), maintenance (2) and admin, sales and + logistics (3 to 5), from scale.md; cover for leave and sickness; the boiler fuel and the PV + share of the power.
