Hi [echo name provided during access request],
Thank you for your interest in our pollen calculator. Please follow the simple steps below to calculate the time, equipment and quantities you will require at each stage of the pollen extraction process.
This calculator has been designed to help you understand the amount of equipment and resource you will need in order to extract the amount of pollen you require for the season. It assumes a typical recovery of 9.5 to 11 grams of pollen per kg of picked flowers (a pollen recovery rate of 0.95-1.15%).
Add your own numbers below to get an idea about pollen production
A Enter the amount of pollen you require in the field A below.
B Enter the days in the flower season in the field B below.

The quantity of flowers you would need to pick to achieve your goal
A team of 30 skilled pickers can pick 1,000 kg of flowers in a day
- 250 kg per hour using our Tri-mill, or
- 80 kg per hour using our Mini Mill

The amount of milled anther you will put into drying trays
Each tray can hold 888 grams of milled anther
Using 18-tray cabinets, pollen can be dried in 24 hours at 30 degrees Celsius
This is based on using one Fraser Gear Extractor, which can process 36 trays of dried anther per hour
The results presented by this calculator should be used as a guide only. They do not represent what your actual pollen output will be. This will depend on your own circumstances, preferences and usage.
