Q

Put the bulk loading calculations steps into correct order:

  • Calculate the maximum number of sacks that will fit into each piece of equipment.
  • Determine the total amount of materials needed.
  • Calculate the number of batches, the number of sacks per batch, and the amount of materials per batch.
  • Determine the batch size according to the capacity of the equipment used.
  • Adjust the blend size to fit the truck tanks and truck weight limitations.
  • Check existing inventory to be sure adequate amounts of all required materials are available at the time of blending.
