This operation handles batch-wise storage of discrete entities on a tray or rack equipment. It is available for use in the Discrete Batch Storage in Tray / Rack procedures. It can be used to simulate the storage of bottles / boxes etc.
● Batch Storage on a Rack (Discrete) Procedure
● Batch Storage on a Tray (Discrete) Procedure
In terms of sizing, the area per entity is specified by the user in the entities tab.
In Design mode, if the calculated total storage exceeds its maximum possible value (specified through the Equipment tab), the program assumes multiple (identical) units operating in parallel with a total equipment area equal to the calculated.
In Rating Mode, the user specifies the equipment area and the number of units. The program calculates the required area for storage and warns the user if its value is higher.
