Rotary tumblers operate 24 hours per day and typically run seven days a week. We were surprised when we learned how much electricity was required. To arrive at the values below we assumed an electricity cost of 11 cents per kilowatt hour and motors operating at maximum efficiency. We also assumed that a batch of rocks required 35 days in the Lortone rotary tumblers (we run the coarse grit step twice). Your costs could be higher or lower than our estimates based upon how long you operate the tumbler, how much you pay for grit and how much you must pay for electricity.Lortone 3A
Electricity cost per day - $0.07
Electricity cost per batch of rocks - $2.42
Electricity cost per pound of rocks - $1.21
