Engineering calculators for packaging, filling and process

The calculators we use in the engineering office for a first estimate, published with their formula, a worked example and the limits of use. They run in the browser, no sign-up. For detailed calculation there are the premium tools, which run on SOLINDAC's servers.

Free calculators

Filling and flow rate calculatorCalculate the flow rate of a filling machine (L/min and m³/h) and hourly output from the volume per container and containers per minute. Free, no sign-up.Line output calculatorTheoretical and real output of a packaging line from the speed (containers/min), the efficiency or OEE and the hours per shift. Free, no sign-up.OEE calculatorCalculate the OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) of a machine or line from availability, performance and quality, with a classification of the result. Free, no sign-up.Plant unit converterConvert pressure (bar, psi, kPa, m w.c.), flow (L/min, m³/h), torque (Nm, kgf·m), power (kW, CV, HP) and temperature (°C, °F, K). Free, no sign-up.Conveyor belt calculatorLinear speed of a belt or conveyor from drum diameter and rpm, and container throughput from the pitch. Free, no sign-up.Tank volume calculatorCapacity of a vertical flat-bottom cylindrical tank from inner diameter and liquid height, and emptying time at a given flow rate. Free, no sign-up.

Premium tools (private access)

Pre-selection tools that run on SOLINDAC servers: you enter the data and receive the result and a printable report; the formulation never leaves the server. Access with credentials provided by SOLINDAC.

Linear guides and carriages: Loads per carriage, L10 rated life and equivalent selection across five manufacturers, with the rail reference and a printable calculation report.
Shrink film specification: Reel sizing, shoulder heights, material characteristics and process checklist for shrink wrappers and shrink tunnels.
Line simulator: Lay out the line on the plant floor plan — conveyors, curves, filler, transfers, accumulation tables — and watch the container flow and where it accumulates.
Solindac Tools: Fifteen pre-selection tools for packaging machinery: conveyor motors, container stability, servo sizing, roller screws, beams, line efficiency and pneumatics.
