Senmarck PowerMore250A Slashes Diesel Costs for Southeast Asia's Concrete Plants
The Challenge: Soaring Fuel Prices & Unstable Grids in Southeast Asia
Concrete batching plants across Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand face two major struggles:
Skyrocketing diesel costs – With prices reaching 1.0–1.20–1.50 per liter, 24/7 generator operation drains profits.
Unreliable grid power – Frequent blackouts force plants to rely entirely on diesel, increasing CO₂ emissions and maintenance costs.
One of Vietnam's largest ready-mix concrete producers needed a solution. Their 400kVA diesel generator ran nonstop, burning 2,500+ liters daily just to power mixers, conveyors, and dust collectors. They turned to Senmarck's PowerMore250A—a hybrid battery-diesel system built for Southeast Asia's harsh conditions.
The Solution: PowerMore250A – Built Stronger for Tropical Heat & High Demand
Unlike standard battery systems that degrade quickly in high humidity and heat, Senmarck's PowerMore250A features:
✔ Military-Grade Lithium Batteries – With active air cooling to withstand 50°C+ temperatures.
✔ Ultra-Fast 250A Discharge – Handles instant motor surges (e.g., mixer startups) without voltage drops.
✔ Smart Cycle-Charging – A 100kVA backup generator runs just 3 hours/day (vs. 24/7), slashing fuel use.
How It Works:
The battery bank powers all equipment, including high-peak loads.
When charge drops below 20%, the smaller generator activates automatically for a quick recharge.
No power interruptions—even during monsoons or grid failures.
The Results: 78% Less Diesel, 82 Tonnes CO₂ Saved Annually
After switching to Senmarck's hybrid system, the one of the plants achieved:
✅ 78% Diesel Reduction – From 1,800L/day → 400L/day
✅ 82 Tonnes CO₂ Cut Annually – Equal to planting 3,700 trees.
✅ Zero Equipment Tripping – Stable voltage prevents shutdowns during monsoon humidity.
✅ 2-Year ROI – Fuel savings pay back the system cost in <20 months.
"Before Senmarck, we spent 15,000 litres of diesel and now it is under 3,500. The PowerMore250A handles Vietnam's heat better than any system we tested. Even during blackouts, production never stops."
— Mr. Nguyen Van Hoang, Plant Director, Vietnam RMC Supplier
