So how big is it in the end (relative to the size of a football pitch)?

Now over 100 staff are on packet sorting process ...... 33 will be required on this machine ( 33 staff.... not every shift but ALL shifts ) . Machine will sort 10k packets per hour but is capable to increase speed.

33 on all shifts. So is that 11 per shift including all loading and unloading of packets, set up etc.

If that is the genuine thing then RM could probably fit them into some of the smaller MCs

I don't believe that's a packet machine.
