Boundary: this output is the minimum packs per minute the packer must sustain to keep up with the stated upstream flow. It is not a catalog speed: add your agreed availability and reject allowance, shortlist machines whose rated range includes the result with headroom below the catalog maximum, send the brief for engineering review when it falls below a rated minimum, and confirm accepted packs/min at FAT with the buyer product, pack material, run duration and reject definition.
