How This Calculator Works
This tool estimates fuel or energy consumption, cost, and CO₂ emissions for various hydraulic hammer 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 Hydraulic Hammers
Hydraulic hammers (also called rock breakers) are powerful attachments used for breaking concrete, rocks, and other tough materials in construction, demolition, and quarrying projects.
- Small Hydraulic Hammer (1–3 ton class): Ideal for light demolition and small construction jobs.
- Medium Hydraulic Hammer (6–10 ton class): Commonly used in roadworks, trenching, and medium construction tasks.
- Large Hydraulic Hammer (16–25 ton class): Suited for heavy demolition, mining, and quarrying operations.
- Extra Heavy Hydraulic Hammer (30+ ton class): Designed for large-scale industrial projects and mining applications.
Fuel-Saving Tips:
- Operate at optimal hydraulic pressure to reduce fuel use.
- Perform regular maintenance of carrier machines and hammer parts.
- Avoid unnecessary idling during breaks.
- Use electric-powered hammers where feasible for sustainability.
