A horizontal screw conveyor of length $3.2 \mathrm{~m}$ conveys solid grain having bulk density of $725 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}$. The screw diameter, shaft diameter and pitch of the screw are $0.6 \mathrm{~m}, 0.24 \mathrm{~m}$ and $0.48 \mathrm{~m},$ respectively. If the screw is operating with $80 \%$ of its volumetric capacity at a speed of $50 \mathrm{rpm}$, the actual discharge of the screw is ____________$\operatorname{ton} \mathrm{h}^{-1}$
