1 chamber to 2 presses (1:2)
1 chamber to 2 presses (1:2) makes 40 kg/min of moonstone and draws 46 kW. Here is the sand balance, what the published sources say, and what Foundry's solver builds for the same output.

Sand balance
1 chamber make 25 kg/min of sand at full speed (1 x 25). 2 presses use 20 kg/min (2 x 10). That leaves 5 kg/min of spare sand, so the chambers run below full speed or the surplus is sold.
The raw dust is 45 kg/min if the chamber is throttled to the 20 kg/min the presses need, and 45 kg/min if it runs flat out and 5 kg/min of sand is left over. Both figures are published and both are shown.
What the Foundry solver builds
Asked for 40 kg/min of moonstone, the solver sizes 1 Pressure Chamber and 2 Stone Presses, with 40 kg/min of dust, 46 kW and $3,420 in total (machines, solar panels and placeholder belts). It agrees with the published ratio.
