How This Calculator Works
This tool estimates fuel or energy consumption, cost, and CO₂ emissions for various concrete mixer 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 Concrete Mixers
Concrete mixers are essential construction machines that combine cement, water, and aggregates to produce fresh concrete for construction projects.
- Small Concrete Mixer 80 HP: Suitable for small construction sites and repair works.
- Medium Concrete Mixer 120 HP: Ideal for mid-scale commercial construction projects.
- Large Concrete Mixer 200 HP: Designed for heavy-duty mixing in large infrastructure projects.
- Electric Concrete Mixer: Environmentally friendly option for urban and indoor projects.
Fuel-Saving Tips:
- Operate mixers at optimal load to reduce unnecessary fuel consumption.
- Keep the engine well-maintained with regular servicing.
- Reduce idling during project downtime.
- Choose electric mixers where possible for zero emissions.
