Worlds Largest Excavator

Hybrid technology put to use on campus

“It actually performs the same as a comparable machine that does not have the hybrid technology, so you don’t sacrifice any performance of the machine to gain the fuel efficiency or the reduction in emissions,” he said.

The hydraulic excavator was introduced in 2008 by Komatsu Ltd., one of the world’s largest developers of construction machinery. It’s a part of a series of hybrid equipment that uses a combination of diesel and electrical power.

Brent and Renee Sanborn are the owners of Sanborn Construction, the excavating constructor for the project.

The couple said it’s their first time working with hybrid construction equipment but not their last.

“I believe it’s something that will be coming into the future,” Brent Sanborn said. “There’s a lot of mandate on construction projects now to lower the carbon footprint, so this is one way to do it.”

Renee Sanborn said she predicts that down the line, constructors will be required to use machines with hybrid fueled technology.

As with any new product, it will take time before users of the equipment will be able to identify what long-term issues might come up with the machines.

Barry Roney is the project director of Granger Construction, the project’s managing company.

Roney said he encourages using hydraulic excavators as it will result in pros, such as cleaner air and cost-effective operations, but it’s too soon to determine the cons.

“I think one of the concerns would be: Is the equipment going to stay efficient over time? Is it going to be costly to repair?” he said. “That’s something to be seen in the future.”

Aditya Singh, a graduate student studying construction management, currently is interning for Granger.

Singh said he feels hybrid technology will play a big part in construction management in the future.

“It’s really good for the environment, good for the project,” he said. “Overall, I think it’s very unique and should be used more often.

The world's largest WK-55 Mine Excavator Acceptance by users

Too developed two largest WK-55 in coal mining excavator Energy Pingshuo mining company after a year of outdoor use, the performance index is superior to the technical requirements, in the recently passed user acceptance, the end of our 20 million tons and above large-scale open pit mining excavator long history of monopoly by foreign also for our country "during" large-scale open pit mining equipment to provide a stable source.

The device uses advanced AC frequency conversion control technology, and a large number of hardened rigid reducer drive, the stability, reliability, efficiency can be higher with a similar foreign products, the core technology or even superior to foreign similar products, but the price is only 70% of similar products around. oil rig systems

WK-55 excavator production in the prescribed assessment period, through continuous improvement to improve, now run smoothly, the main operating indicators and international level is very similar products, the user can program the successful completion of the task. The largest party on the completion of real dissection reached 1.0692 million cubic meters, exceeding the design capacity of 1.03 million cubic meters of level; equipment, moving the rate on up to 99%, exceeding the 92% level of design capability, product level by the user running recognition. Too is constantly introducing advanced foreign manufacturing technology based on large-scale mining excavator machinery part close to or reached the international advanced level; Electric Electronically controlled independently developed sets of AC variable frequency control system has reached the international advanced level. The current global energy independent manufacturing WK-55-type at the same level mining excavator heavy and U.S. companies only. bore drilling equipment

Too is the largest professional manufacturer of large-scale mining equipment, from 20m3, 27m3, 35m3 to 55m3 excavators developed, too much time in just three years into the development of large excavators innovation historical era, has cumulative production of all types of mining excavators 1,000 sets of more than 95% market share, over the domestic coal mine, iron ore, nonferrous metals and building materials, mining, and has been exported to Pakistan, Burma, India, Peru and other countries.
