The general equation for calculating production per hour is multiplying the number of cycles in an hour by the quantity of material per cycle.
When calculating the number of cycles in an hour, you must take into account the operation's efficiency factor.
When determining the quantity of material, you must take into account the size of the bucket and its fill factor, and you must conform the production units to the desired volume or weight units (loose cubic yards to bank cubic yards or to tons).
To convert loose volume to bank volume, you multiply by the swell factor which is equal to: 1/(1+%swell)
If, after applying the efficiency factor, you calculate that there will be 100 cycles in an hour, and in each cycle you are handling 3 cy x 90%=2.7 lcy, what would be your production in bcy per hour, if the material % swell is equal to 25%?
