Capacity calculator
Enter the desired capacity and product. The calculator will suggest a pump, a matching Polaron SSHE, and a pin rotor machine (PRM).
Variables
Fine-tune (density, pressure, residence time & nitrogen)
{{ key }}
Recommendation
Pump
Model
{{ result.pump.model }}
Nominal (L/h)
{{ nicePair(result.pump.nominal_lh) }}
Max (L/h)
{{ nicePair(result.pump.max_lh) }}
Max pressure (bar)
{{ result.pump.max_pressure_bar }}
Target flow for pump
{{ fmt(result.pumpTargetLh) }} L/h
No pump meets both capacity and pressure requirements.
* Pump target L/h uses kg→L via density, and for shortening includes nitrogen expansion.
Polaron SSHE ({{ refrigerant }})
Variant
{{ result.polaron.variant === 'short' ? 'Short (Polaron)' : ('Long (Polaron ' + (refrigerant === 'CO2' ? 'CL' : 'L') + ')') }}
Bundle
{{ result.polaron.bundle }}
Motor
{{ result.polaron.motor }}
Capacity ({{ product }})
{{ result.polaron[product] ?? '—' }}
Match
{{ result.polaronMatchNote }}
Other capacities for the same configuration:
Shortening: {{ result.polaron.shortening ?? '—' }} kg/h
Table margarine: {{ result.polaron['table margarine'] ?? '—' }} kg/h
Puff pastry margarine: {{ result.polaron['puff pastry margarine'] ?? '—' }} kg/h
No Polaron configuration delivers the requested capacity.
Pin rotor machine
Working volume required
{{ fmt(result.prm.requiredVolumeL) }} L
Selected model
{{ result.prm.model ?? '—' }}
Cylinder (L)
{{ result.prm.cylinder ?? '—' }}
Max pressure (bar)
{{ result.prm.maxPressure ?? '—' }}
Units
{{ result.prm.count ?? '—' }}
* Working volume = (capacity in L/h) × (residence time in min) ÷ 60.
PRM requirement for the other products with this Polaron configuration:
- {{ o.product }}: {{ o.note }} {{ o.product }}: needs {{ fmt(o.requiredVolumeL) }} L → {{ o.model }} ({{ o.cylinder }} L), units: {{ o.count }}
