How This Calculator Works
This tool estimates fuel or energy consumption, cost, and CO₂ emissions for different shotcrete 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 Shotcrete Machines
Shotcrete machines are used for spraying concrete at high velocity onto surfaces, commonly applied in tunneling, mining, slope stabilization, and structural repairs.
- Small Shotcrete Machine 75 HP: Ideal for light construction and small tunnel applications.
- Medium Shotcrete Machine 120 HP: Suitable for medium-scale tunneling and mining operations.
- Large Shotcrete Machine 180 HP: Designed for large tunnels, heavy-duty mining, and infrastructure projects.
- Electric Shotcrete Machine: Eco-friendly option for urban tunneling with reduced noise and zero on-site emissions.
Fuel-Saving Tips:
- Keep nozzles and hoses well-maintained to reduce pumping resistance.
- Avoid unnecessary idling during downtime.
- Match machine size with project scale for optimal efficiency.
- Regularly service engines and hydraulic systems to minimize fuel wastage.
