Excavator fuel saving tips revealed!

[BONOVO]

How can I save fuel? "I believe it is an indelible "pain" in the hearts of many friends. The higher the fuel consumption, the less profit. How to save fuel without reducing the mission rate and mechanical life is the most concerned issue for all machine owners. Here are some tips for saving fuel in excavator operation. I hope you can refer to them according to your daily construction conditions.
11 tips for saving fuel
1. Try to avoid doing ineffective actions
The fuel consumed by doing ineffective actions is 100% wasted. The construction method should be designed according to the conditions of the construction site. Do not make unnecessary rotations. When loading, try to get soil in the front and try to avoid rotating to the back door to get soil. The height of the excavator should be appropriate, and do not dig the soil repeatedly.
2. Avoid engine idling
Even if Even when idling, there will still be oil circulating in the hydraulic pump and consuming fuel. Assuming a 20-ton excavator is idling for 1 hour out of 10 hours of work a day, about 20 liters of fuel will be wasted every day.
3. Avoid overload pressure drop
When the excavated sand or rocks are too heavy, the excavator will enter the pressure drop state. For example, in 10 hours of work a day, there are 6 minutes of pressure drop. If the pressure drop can be avoided, about 840 liters of diesel can be saved every year. Problems that cannot be solved with one shovel can be divided into two to solve. Otherwise, it will waste both the machine and fuel, which is a loss of the big picture.
4. Reduce the engine speed
Put the engine throttle in the economy position. Although reducing the engine speed will affect the workload, it can Significantly reduce fuel consumption and improve fuel efficiency.
5. Reduce the turning angle
Reducing the turning angle when loading a dump truck can shorten the operation cycle, increase the amount of work per unit time, and thus improve fuel efficiency. This is also the most effective way to save fuel.
6. Reduce the engine speed when walking
The faster the engine speed, the more fuel is consumed when walking.
7. Perform high-position excavation
It is most effective when the excavator working platform is the same height as the truck or slightly higher.
8. Extend the arm to 80%
When the bucket cylinder and connecting rod, the arm cylinder and the arm are all 90 degrees, each cylinder pushes the excavator with the greatest force. When you start excavating, don't extend the arm to the maximum range of action. It's best to start from about 80%.
9. Digging range of the dipper arm
The effective range of operating the boom and bucket is from 45 degrees on the far side of the dipper arm to 30 degrees on the inside. Do not operate to the end of the stroke of the cylinder.
10. First the two sides and then the middle
When digging trenches, dig the two sides of the trench first, and then the middle part. This can save a lot of trouble and effort when digging in the middle.
11. The smaller the digging depth, the better the economy
Try to use segmented digging. It is divided into three layers of digging: upper, middle and lower. If you dig from the bottom to the top, first of all, the range of action is increased, and secondly, the power of the excavator is reduced because of the increase in the range, which reduces the work efficiency, which costs a lot of fuel.
Good driving habits can indeed save fuel, so as long as we start from the little things around us, saving fuel is not difficult!
