Industrial Maceration Stack

The Industrial Maceration Stack (IMS) is an EV tier multiblock for crushing and grinding items into dusts. The IMS is a direct upgrade from the singleblock macerator and the Steam Grinder because it is available in two tiers and has scaling bonuses. The T1 structure runs at 160% speed and offers 2 parallels per voltage tier. The T2 structure runs at 640% speed and offers 8 parallels per voltage tier. Upgrade the IMS by inserting a maceration upgrade chip into the controller, or by right-clicking the controller with the chip in hand.

Construction

The IMS is available in two tiers. The T1 structure has no tiered components and buses/hatches may replace any casing anywhere on the structure. The T2 structure also has no tiered components and buses/hatches may replace any maceration stack casing anywhere on the structure. The glass can be any tier and has no effect on the operation of the machine. Multi-amp and laser energy hatches are not supported, but there can be multiple regular energy hatches for overclocking. Use the Multiblock Structure Hologram Projector to visualize/build the structure with subchannel "glass" to specify the tier of the glass and the projector stack size to specify the structure tier.

T1 Structure

Controller: Front bottom center
26-44 Stable Titanium Machine Casing
1+ Energy Hatch: Any casing
1 Maintenance Hatch: Any casing
1 Muffler Hatch: Any casing
1+ Input Bus: Any casing
1+ Output Bus: Any casing

T2 Structure

Controller: Front bottom center
69-87 Maceration Stack Casing

18 Steel Gear Box Casing
8 Any Tiered Glass
6 Grate Machine Casing
1+ Energy Hatch: Any stack casing
1 Maintenance Hatch: Any stack casing
1 Muffler Hatch: Any stack casing
1+ Input Bus: Any stack casing
1+ Output Bus: Any stack casing

Wallsharing

IMS's may wallshare each of their sides to save on casings, frame boxes, glass, and buses/hatches. No recipe uses more than 1A of power so it is possible to share one energy hatch between two machines.

Usage

The IMS is a direct upgrade from the singleblock macerator and the Steam Grinder because it is available in two tiers and has scaling bonuses. The T1 structure runs at 160% speed and offers 2 parallels per voltage tier. The T2 structure runs at 640% speed and offers 8 parallels per voltage tier. Upgrade the IMS by inserting a maceration upgrade chip into the controller, or by right-clicking the controller with the chip in hand. The chip is immediately consumed and cannot be retrieved.

T1 Parallels	2	4	6	8	10	12	14	16	18	20	22	24	26	28	30
T2 Parallels	8	16	24	32	40	48	56	64	72	80	88	96	104	112	120

Unlike the Steam Grinder, the IMS produces byproducts when macerating ores which makes it an important multiblock in most Ore Processing chains.
