Does increasing a production line’s throughput always mean producing more units?
Not necessarily. A high production rate depends on more than just how fast the conveyor belts move.
This is the starting point of the latest episode of ConveyorU, M.H.’s Academy dedicated to conveyor systems.
In this episode, Luca explains the difference between conveyor speed and production throughput, showing why achieving the right balance between these two factors is essential when designing a conveyor system.
The relationship varies depending on the product and the process: small items can be conveyed in large quantities even at relatively low speeds, while bulkier products may require faster conveying speeds.
