Fuel<\/strong> is one of the basic elements of earth-moving machines. Saving fuel<\/strong> should be one of the main objectives of any operator, both for economic reasons but, above all, for environmental reasons.<\/p>\n

The public works and the exploitation of quarries and mines, today, as ever, must be \u00absustainable\u00bb,<\/strong> which means that a balance is needed between the satisfaction of current needs and the well-being of future generations without compromising it.<\/p>\n

A loader, excavator, dumper or bulldozer normally consumes a high amount of litres per hour<\/strong> for excavation, loading and moving of materials. But there are concrete possibilities to save on fuel consumption, thanks to technology and good use practices.<\/p>\n

Technology in service of the machine for fuel saving<\/h2>\n

Machine technology is the set of tools that allow the control and verification of any malfunctions of the machine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We take the following technology into consideration to achieve fuel saving<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Use of the load detection system<\/strong>, as it allows the hydraulic energy to be checked automatically before and reduce consumption.<\/li>\n
  2. Use of the fault identification system<\/strong>, such as the engine one which pollutes less.<\/li>\n
  3. Use of a high-powered engine<\/strong> but with a lightweight casing to maximize efficiency.<\/li>\n
  4. Setting the economic mode<\/strong>: with this type of instrument it is possible to reduce the machine speed and in this way, save about 6% of fuel in operations.<\/li>\n
  5. Use of the wasted energy recovery and reuse system.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Helpful advice: how to save fuel with a few minimum requirements<\/h3>\n

    Using the machine correctly<\/strong> saves not only fuel but also maintenance costs.<\/p>\n

    Let’s look at the suggestions of our technician<\/strong>s to maximize the use of the excavator, loader, bulldozer, backhoe loader etc., and at the same time reduce consumption.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Organize the work in advance<\/strong> by studying the place, the type of work and the hours needed to complete it. It is also very important to consider the weather conditions.<\/li>\n
    2. Be familiar with all the equipment, tools and operating system<\/strong> of the machine to ensure that they are used in the best possible way.<\/li>\n
    3. Analyse and plan the movements to be carried out<\/strong> to avoid wasting fuel.<\/li>\n
    4. Check the tire pressure or the condition of the chains<\/strong> to ensure of the full functionality of the machine.<\/li>\n
    5. Maintain the machine,<\/strong> do not use it in case of breakdowns and malfunctions and, above all, always use original spare parts<\/a> even if used<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      With these small precautions we assure you that the machine will last longer, it will be safer and you will save on fuel consumption.<\/em><\/p>\n

      Furthermore, as previously mentioned, we recommend the use of original and used spare parts such as those available from Taop Parts<\/strong>, to safeguard the quality of the machine, to save money on repairs and to safeguard our Earth.<\/p>\n
