New cost-saving Case CE midi-excavators

CNH Construction marketing director Jean-Patrick Yekpe has highlighted the money-saving potential of Case Construction Equipment’s new midi-excavators, unveiled at bauma 2013. The Tier 4 Final requirements of the CX75C SR and CX80C have been met, says Yekpe, through the use of cooled exhaust gas recirculation (CEGR) combined with a diesel oxidation catalyst system. “When the soot is coming out of the engine as smoke and touches the platinum inside the engine you get an oxidation, and as a consequence of thi

1595 CNH Construction marketing director Jean-Patrick Yekpe has highlighted the money-saving potential of 176 Case Construction Equipment’s new midi-excavators, unveiled at 688 Bauma 2013.

The Tier 4 Final requirements of the CX75C SR and CX80C have been met, says Yekpe, through the use of cooled exhaust gas recirculation (CEGR) combined with a diesel oxidation catalyst system.

“When the soot is coming out of the engine as smoke and touches the platinum inside the engine you get an oxidation, and as a consequence of this chemical reaction you do not have any more soot coming out,” explained Yekpe.

“The benefit for the customer of this technology is that you do not need a diesel particulate filter. The main inconvenience of this (DPF) is that it is costly,” he said.

Meanwhile Phil Marshall, UK business manager for Case Construction Equipment (Case CE), said the new midi-excavators represented a step back into an important market for the brand. “This is particularly so within my home country, the UK,” he said.

The CX75C SR and CX80C are said by Case to generate 9% more hydraulic power than their predecessors, and 148litres/min of pump flow compared to the previous 136litres/min. Cycle times are said to be reduced and digging force improved by up to 3% with Case CE’s new midi-excavators.

To increase uptime, the bauma 2013-launched machines feature a larger 120litre fuel tank, said to be easily fillable with the optional electric refuelling pump. Efficient maintenance is another advantage of the CX75C SR and the CX80C, stressed Case CE.

Both new midi-excavators have a choice of mono-boom, swing-boom and offset-boom, four auxiliary hydraulic control systems (hand or foot controlled), three track options (rubber or steel shoes) and two dipper-stick lengths.

    HAZEMAG says it has combined two successful impact crusher series into a single one and thus increase efficiency in the secondary crushing. The new HAZEMAG HSI 1414, with a completely revised design, follows the principle of the platform strategy, which means “one housing – several options.“ “The customer may opt between different impact aprons and rotor types. Hence HAZEMAG increases the crusher’s efficiency. Within the modularly designed platform the grinding path, for example, may simply and easily (even

    Dana used bauma 2013 to show a hydraulic hybrid concept for use with wheeled loaders, offering the potential to reduce fuel consumption by 20-40%. Called PowerBoost, the system uses high-pressure hydraulic accumulators to store up fluid power that can be released to assist the engine in driving hydraulic pumps and motors. “PowerBoost offers hydraulic power assistance to almost any machine function, to prevent peak loads on the engine during short duty cycles such as loading,” said Donald Remboski, Dana vice
