Paper Machine Capacity Calculator

Estimate daily production capacity (TPD) from trim width, machine speed, and target basis weight — the same formula paper mill engineers use to size a line: trim width (m) × speed (m/min) × basis weight (g/m²) × 1440 min/day ÷ 1,000,000, adjusted for realistic operating efficiency.

Your Inputs

2800 mm (equipment range: 1600–5000mm)
150 m/min (equipment range: 30–380 m/min)
Real mills rarely run at theoretical 100% due to grade changes, breaks, and maintenance windows.
532 TPD
Estimated realistic daily capacity
Theoretical maximum (100% efficiency): 604 TPD/day
This range sits inside our 10–750 TPD equipment class — a mid-to-wide trim width configuration would suit this target.
