Capacity-Ratio Fit Check

Enter the daily output you want from each of the two product families, both stated as tonnes per day of fresh fruit going in. The check returns whether one compound line or two separate lines is the sounder structure at that ratio, including the case where the honest answer is that you should not buy a compound line.

Basis of your figures

Larger product family (t/day)

Smaller product family (t/day)

Ratio of smaller to larger	Structure	Why
Below 0.15	Two separate lines	The line has to be sized for the larger product, so the smaller one runs on a machine built for volumes it will never see
0.15 to below 0.40	Compound line with a dedicated end section	The main line is worth sharing, but the smaller product earns its own filling and packing end
0.40 and above	Compound line	Both families load the shared stations enough to justify one structure
