How This Calculator Works
This tool estimates fuel or energy consumption, cost, and CO₂ emissions for various milling machine 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 Milling Machines
Milling machines are essential in road construction for removing old asphalt surfaces before repaving. They come in various sizes for different project needs.
- Small Milling Machine 100 HP: Ideal for narrow streets and small patchwork.
- Medium Milling Machine 200 HP: Suitable for mid-sized road resurfacing projects.
- Large Milling Machine 350 HP: Designed for highways and large-scale milling jobs.
- Electric Milling Machine: Environment-friendly option for urban and indoor projects.
Fuel-Saving Tips:
- Plan milling routes to minimize unnecessary passes.
- Keep milling drum teeth sharp and well-maintained.
- Operate at optimal engine speed for the material being milled.
- Reduce idling during non-productive times.
