Bottling Output Per Hour Calculator

Work out bottling output per hour instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.

About Bottling Output Per Hour Calculator

Real output is nominal speed multiplied by availability, performance rate and quality rate — the three OEE factors. On a bottling line the constraint is usually the filler, and everything upstream and downstream should be rated 10-20% faster so that accumulation tables can absorb short stops.

Formulas

OEE

OEE = availability x performance x quality

Output

Actual good output = nominal speed x OEE

Worked example

With the default values below, Bottling Output Per Hour Calculator returns Actual Good Output Per Hour of 9,637. Change any input above and every figure here is recalculated in your browser.

Assumptions and limits

The result is derived only from the 4 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
Figures are rounded for display to 3 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why rate other machines faster than the filler?

So that a brief stop on the labeller or capper is absorbed by accumulation rather than stopping the filler. A balanced-speed line has no recovery capacity and runs at far lower OEE.

What OEE is good for a bottling line?

65-80% is typical for a multi-SKU line with frequent changeovers; dedicated high-speed lines reach 85-92%. Changeover time is usually the largest single loss.
