Effective working time = 420 minutes (7 hours).

Batching time = 3 minutes.

No : of batching = 420/3 = 140.

Output concrete for 1 batching = 150 liters.

For 140 batching = 150*140 = 21000 liters. (This is the actual value).

But I think here they consider the efficiency of the batch plant as 90%.

= 21000*90/100 = 18900 liters.

Effective working time= 7 hours = 7*60 = 420 minute.

Per batch time = 3 minute.
Number of mixing batch = 420/3 = 140.

Output concrete of per batch = 150 litre.
Output concrete 140 batch = 140*150 = 21000 litre.

Assuming the efficiency = 90%.
21000* 0.9 = 18900.

@Jay shah in construction industry efficiency will be assigned according to condition of equipment. Mostly for time concern and making fruitful profits 90% will be considered.

The minimum mixing time is 2 minutes and why the value 3 is min batching is mandatory? Please explain me.

(7* 60)/3 = 140.
140 * 150 = 21000ltr.
90% efficiency.
(21000 * 90)/100 = 18,900ltr.

Because out of 3 min, 30 sec is considered as Material filing and water filling.

Is there any thumb rule for the efficiency of the concrete mixer?
