How This Calculator Works
This tool estimates fuel or energy consumption, cost, and CO₂ emissions for various batching plant models based on operating hours and fuel type.
Fuel Calculation Formula:
Fuel/Energy Used = Operating Hours × Consumption Rate (liters or kWh per hour)
CO₂ Emissions = Fuel/Energy Used × Emission Factor
Emission Factors:
- Diesel: 2.68 kg CO₂/liter
- Electric: 0 kg CO₂/kWh (assuming renewable source)
About Batching Plants
Batching plants are essential in concrete production, ensuring precise mixing of cement, water, and aggregates to produce high-quality concrete for construction projects.
- Small Batching Plant 30 m³/hr: Suitable for small construction projects and precast works.
- Medium Batching Plant 60 m³/hr: Commonly used in mid-sized projects such as bridges and commercial buildings.
- Large Batching Plant 120 m³/hr: Designed for large infrastructure projects like highways and dams.
- Electric Batching Plant: Eco-friendly option with lower noise and zero direct emissions.
Fuel-Saving Tips:
- Schedule operations efficiently to reduce idle time.
- Ensure timely maintenance of mixers and conveyors.
- Calibrate the batching system to avoid unnecessary energy use.
- Choose an electric batching plant for long-term sustainability.
