How This Calculator Works
This tool estimates fuel or energy consumption, cost, and CO₂ emissions for various scraper 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 Scrapers
Scrapers are large earthmoving machines used to cut, collect, and transport soil over short distances, often used in mining, road construction, and large-scale site development.
- Small Pull-Type Scraper 200 HP: Suitable for agricultural and light construction earthmoving.
- Medium Motor Scraper 350 HP: Ideal for roadwork and medium excavation projects.
- Large Motor Scraper 500 HP: Designed for heavy-duty mining and large-scale construction.
- Electric Scraper: Zero-emission solution for operations in regulated or urban areas.
Fuel-Saving Tips:
- Maintain sharp cutting edges to reduce load resistance.
- Operate at optimal speeds to maximize fuel efficiency.
- Plan hauling routes to minimize travel distance.
- Perform regular engine and tire maintenance.
