What are the reasons for high fuel consumption of excavators

The fuel consumption of excavators is an important part of the daily cost and will directly affect the customer's income.

Many people wonder why my excavator consumes more oil than others. That is to say, when the excavator is not working, the engine suddenly turns. In the daily work of excavators, the idle time of equipment on many construction sites is as high as 40%-50%. During the load idle period, the oil burned by the engine does not create wealth, which means "burning money".

Various factors, such as the construction site, the operation and layout of the equipment, will affect the overall fuel consumption and production efficiency of the excavator. Master two "degrees", quickly find fuel saving. If the loading height excavator is working on a high platform, the height of the high platform is better equal to the length of the bucket rod. Fuel efficiency is higher.

Do the same work, consume less oil. If the height of the platform is not enough, it will not only increase the rotation time and fuel consumption, but also the bucket is not easy to fill. When the excavator is loaded, the Angle of the excavator shall not exceed 60 degrees, and the range of 30 degrees to 45 degrees is more appropriate. The lower the viewing Angle, the faster the rotation, the greater the output, and the lower the fuel consumption.

Studies have shown that high-specification radial tires can save up to 10% of fuel consumption. Among them, tire pressure has a significant impact on fuel efficiency. When the tire pressure is insufficient, the operation resistance of the excavator will increase, the fuel consumption will also increase, and the output will be reduced due to the unstable movement of the equipment.

Research shows that a skilled driver can effectively reduce fuel consumption by 10-12%.

Moreover, 30% of contractors believe that a highly qualified pilot is the key to business success! A good driver should have mature construction experience, driving level and rich construction knowledge, so as to improve production efficiency and reduce fuel consumption.
