DISCLAIMER: This is a general purpose calculation of cycle rate. Cycle times for individual machines may vary due to many operational factors such as actual valve delay, pump efficiency, interaction of safety systems and other parameters. Pacific Press makes no guarantee of accuracy of the calculated cycle time determined by this program. If cycle times are critical, consult factory for detailed analysis of the applications.
