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.

    April 16, 2013
    Cummins used bauma to reveal the QSF3.8 – a four-cylinder engine platform delivering a power range of 63-89kW – which is ready to meet Stage IV/Tier 4 Final emissions regulations. Using only SCR for its exhaust after-treatment process, the QSF3.8 avoids the need for either DOC or DPF as a result of using a high-efficiency catalyst to convert oxides of nitrogen at lower exhaust temperatures while requiring only low doses of DEF, said the company.

    The new generation JS crawler excavators from JCB are said to deliver increased performance along with reduced running costs. The JS220, JS260 and JS360 are all powered by Isuzu diesels that meet the Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB emissions requirements with reduced fuel consumption and increased torque rise. For developing markets, there is also a Tier 2 compliant version of the JS220 powered by a JCB 448 Dieselmax engine with a similar output to the 129kW Isuzu diesel in the Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB model.

    Following the success of its 8MCR high-speed compact excavator, Mecalac has developed a larger, heavier model, called the 10MCR. Like the smaller machine introduced in 2009, this new model combines the speed and manoeuvrability of a skid steer loader with the functionality of a midi excavator. Weighing in at nine tones and using a 75kW turbocharged diesel engine, the new model retains Mecalac’s MCR concept and uses a triangular track frame profile, which affords fast travel speeds in both directions usin
