What are the fuel-saving tips for loader operation?

Reasonable operation of loaders can reduce oil consumption without reducing working efficiency, which not only saves the use cost, but also reduces exhaust emissions and protects the environment. Today, I will tell you about the fuel-saving tips for loader operation.

1, using V-type loading mode.

A method called "V-loading method" can be used to load loaders. The loader is facing the material pile, and the truck and loader are driving at a 45-degree angle. When loading, the loader lifts the bucket, which can give a pressure to the front wheel, so that the friction is enhanced and the driving force is stronger. When the bucket is full, the loader returns to the starting position and then moves to the truck position.

Regardless of the size of the loader, the forward and backward distance should be 0.8 times of the length of the loader body, preferably not more than 2 times, so as to reduce the transportation distance of the loader when it is fully loaded, shorten the operation cycle time and save fuel.

2. Prevent unnecessary idling.

After starting and before stopping, it is necessary to idle the diesel engine for 5 minutes, but idling for a long time will waste fuel. Therefore, when waiting and resting, the diesel engine should be turned off to save fuel.

3. Reasonable selection of gear operation

When the loader bucket is inserted into the material pile and stripped, the insertion resistance is large. In the process of shovel loading, it is necessary to shift to I gear, and shovel loading can be completed with a relatively small throttle. When the throttle is small, the speed of the diesel engine is low, which not only reduces the fuel consumption, but also reduces the flow and overflow loss of the hydraulic system of the working device, thus further reducing the fuel consumption of the diesel engine.

4. Avoid torque converter stall.

When the loader bucket is inserted into the material pile and discharged, it may be difficult to insert and discharge because the material is hard. Even if the diesel engine throttle is increased, the forward speed of the loader is still zero. This phenomenon is called torque converter stall.

In the process of loading materials on the loader, the torque converter should be prevented from stalling, and the load should be reduced by rotating the bucket, so as to successfully complete the loading operation and save fuel.

5. Avoid tire skidding

When the loader shovels, the front wheel is lifted due to the excessive downward pressure of the bucket, and the front wheel slips when the throttle is increased, resulting in fuel waste.

When shoveling, the bucket lightly touches the ground to avoid tire slipping. When slipping occurs, reduce the throttle, slightly lift the bucket, and then slowly increase the throttle to shovel.

6. Avoid hydraulic stall

In the process of loader shovel loading, when the load of the bucket is too large, even if the operating handle of the bucket is pulled all the time, the bucket cannot be shovel loaded. At this time, the pressure of the hydraulic system reaches the set pressure of the overflow valve, the overflow valve opens, and the hydraulic oil flows back to the hydraulic oil tank. This phenomenon is called hydraulic stall. At this time, the fuel consumption of diesel engine is high, but the working efficiency is zero. All the energy generated by diesel engine is converted into heat by hydraulic system, which is radiated to the atmosphere by hydraulic oil radiator.

Therefore, in the process of shoveling materials by the loader, when the shoveling load is too large, the operating handles of the bucket and boom should not be forcibly pulled, but should be gently pushed to reduce the load and successfully complete shoveling.

7, control the bucket lifting height

In the process of full-load lifting of loader, the higher the bucket is lifted, the more energy is consumed and the higher the fuel consumption is. The lifting height of loader bucket should be controlled according to the actual height of truck fender to avoid the waste of fuel and time caused by excessive lifting.

The above points are the fuel-saving tips introduced to you today. Operating skills are important, but the loader with reliable performance is the key to achieve high efficiency and fuel saving.
