Palletizer Utilization Calculator

Compare actual incoming case feed with a positive palletizer rated case capacity, and convert the incoming case rate to equivalent pallets/hour. Utilization = actual cases/min ÷ rated cases/min; pallet output = actual cases/min × 60 ÷ whole cases/pallet. Utilization is not capped at 100%.

Example values are prefilled to demonstrate the calculation. Replace them with values for your product, package, equipment, and operating conditions.

Inputs

Palletizer rate

Range: at least 0 cases/min

Enter sustained cases arriving at the palletizer per minute.

Range: at least 0 cases/min

Enter the applicable rated cases/minute for the palletizer configuration and case format.

Range: at least 0 count/pallet

Enter the positive whole-case pallet quantity from the selected pallet pattern.

Result

Valid
Rated capacity comparison
Incoming feed is at or below entered rated capacity
Pallet output at actual case feed (pallets/hour)
36.00 pallets/hour
Palletizer capacity utilization (uncapped; 0–1+)
0.75
