A cleaner processes \( 6 \) tonnes per hour with a screen area of \( 2.4 \) m\(^2\). The specific capacity is

  • A.6.0 t/h per m\(^2\)
  • B.2.5 t/h per m\(^2\)
  • C.14.4 t/h per m\(^2\)
  • D.0.40 t/h per m\(^2\)

Answer: B

Correct answer: 2.5 t/h per m\(^2\)

Specific capacity is throughput divided by screen area:

\[ \frac{6.0}{2.4} = 2.5\ \mathrm{t/h\ per\ m^2} \]

Expressing capacity this way makes machines of different size comparable and lets a required area be calculated from a required throughput. It must be read alongside effectiveness, though: the same machine can be run at a higher specific capacity at the cost of a poorer separation, so the two figures are only meaningful together.
