MicroTrac Baseline Calculation

Introduction

The basic design rationale for MicroTrac hydraulic pump (and engine) size requirements is the ability to power the Liberator 2 CEB press to the extent that it can produce 6-8 bricks per minute. This indicates 360-480 bricks per hour, or between 2880-3840 bricks per 8 hour work day. Wow. This involves a 2 person team, one person running the LifeTrac hybrid Pulverizer, and the second person stacking bricks. This would sure beat the 500 brick per day sustained production rate that we witnessed last year with a 2 person team.
