Run Time Calculator

How long a run takes and the press output: from the run length, the printing speed and the web width. Make-ready time can be added.

How it is calculated

Printing time = length ÷ speed (meters per minute). Area = width × length. Output = width × speed × 60 (m² per hour).

Make-ready, if you give it, is added to the run time.

minutes = length / speed
area = width · length
m²/h = width · speed · 60

Worked example

10,000 m at 120 m/min: 10,000 ÷ 120 = 83.3 min (1 h 23 min).

Width 0.33 m: area = 0.33 × 10,000 = 3300 m², output = 0.33 × 120 × 60 = 2376 m²/h.

An estimate: a constant speed, without stops, reel changes and re-settings.
