“…The power consumption in a planetary mixer is reported to be 25% less than a pan mixer (Budny et al, 2009). Also, Shepherdson (2010), reports that planetary mixers require 15 to 25% less cement than spiral blade mixers.…”

The U.S. concrete industry is the main consumer of U.S.-produced cement. The manufacturing of ready mixed concrete accounts for more than 75% of the U.S. concrete production following the manufacturing of precast concrete and masonry units. The most significant expenditure is the cost of materials accounting for more than 50% of total concrete production costs -cement only accounts for nearly 24%. In 2009, energy costs of the U.S. concrete industry were over $610 million. Hence, energy efficiency improvements along with efficient use of materials without negatively affecting product quality and yield, especially in times of increased fuel and material costs, can significantly reduce production costs and increase competitiveness.The Energy Guide starts with an overview of the U.S. concrete industry's structure and energy use, a description of the various manufacturing processes, and identification of the major energy consuming areas in the different industry segments. This is followed by a description of general and process related energy-and cost-efficiency measures applicable to the concrete industry. Specific energy and cost savings and a typical payback period are included based on literature and case studies, when available. The Energy Guide intends to provide information on cost reduction opportunities to energy and plant managers in the U.S. concrete industry. Every cost saving opportunity should be assessed carefully prior to implementation in individual plants, as the economics and the potential energy and material savings may differ.

The hydraulic impactor is the key component that affects the hydraulic impact mechanical properties. Impact energy or impact power parameter is the important indication of impact system performance. The conditional parameters affecting the basic function were analyzed in this paper. The pressure change and flow of different working cavity in the working process were experimental studied on the experimental device. The relationships between the rate of flow and pressure in the impactor were also discussed.
