The hydraulics excavator of chains Cat 329And and the shovel of wheels 966 K, big protagonists of the day

Doing well that that to appreciate the advantages of a product there is not at all better like testing it, Barloworld Finanzauto organised the days 18, 19 and 20 September, in his base of Arganda del Rey, what has called the Week of the Excavation, some days of open doors for professionals of the sector that allowed to see and test the last models of hydraulics excavators and shovels of wheels of the signature Caterpillar.

During three days, the zone of demonstrations with which explains Barloworld Finanzauto in his central headquarters, received to numerous customers arrived of different points of Spain, that did not want to lose the opportunity to see in direct some of the last launchings of Caterpillar, handle they same the machines, know the special offers in machinery and implementos realised specifically for this evento, inform of the formidable financial conditions that is providing the company and, of course, share with other colleagues of profession and with the managers of Barloworld Finanzauto his impressesions on the situation that crosses the market.

The second reason, no less important, was that the assistants carried an idea the most real possible of what can give of himself these new machines and of the big differences that notice when they take his controls. For this invited to all the assistants to test the units with the help of the demostradores of Barloworld Finanzauto, that cleared the doubts of handle that they could arise. Like this, more than 60 professionals handled the machines and remained frankly impressesed of the softness, answer, ease of handle and strength, so much of the excavator as of the loaders shovel”.

Summoned to the most representative users of the sector of the excavation in the zone center and, once again, the power of announcement of the company has done patent. They gave appointment more than 80 customers, between which were some of the constructors and contractors more influential, that shared these days with the technicians, directors, commercial and specialists of product of Barloworld Finanzauto, those who explained the new and revolutionary advantages of the Shovels and Excavators Caterpillar Series K” and Series And” respectively. “Thanks to these innovations the machines offer greater performances, more confort for the operator, big ease of handle and the highest efficiency of fuel of the market”, add from Barloworld Finanzauto.

In representation of the new Series And of hydraulics excavators, the assistants to the Week of the Excavation of Barloworld Finanzauto could see and test the model Cat 329And, substitute of the Cat 329D. The improvements in the design of the 329And, that weighs between 28.717 kg and 31.639 kg, include 13% more than net power, a lower consumption of fuel and a power of elevation 5% elder. Together with an improvement of the hydraulics system, the new comforts of the place of the operator and the characteristics of hygiene and of ease of service, guarantee productivity, reduced costs of operation and low broadcasts.

His engine C7.1 of low consumption uses a system ‘common rail' with a new bomb of injection of high pressesure, a bomb of cebado of electrical fuel and some pipes of fuel of big durability that allow the use of B20 (a mix of fuel diesel with a content of sulphur very low and until 20% of biodiésel that fulfils the norms established in the sector).

The powerful hydraulics system of implementos of two pumps accionado systematically pilot allows to obtain a fast answer and a greater saving of fuel. On the other hand, a new valve of main control commissions to improve the efficiency of the step of oil and besides, a new valve of electrical regeneration incorporated in the circuit of the varillaje and a hydraulics valve in the circuit of the arm of excavation minimise the hydraulics discharge to contribute to the saving of fuel.

The robust train of rodaje lubricated with fat of the machine has of a master link fit to pressesure (and no one of adjust deslizable) to improve the durability. A new protection of guide of three pieces helps to keep the chain ranged.

The ladles Cat of the new generation of the 329And have a new geometry thanks to his leading extreme more advanced to achieve a filled more efficient, a greater production and a better control. Likewise, the ladles improve the resistance against the wear of the corners and the cortadoras lateral.

The levels of sound of the cabin of the 329And have reduced 4dB(To) and has incorporated a new monitor LCD (screen of liquid glass) 40% bigger that offers a greater resolution and presents a simpler menu and easy to use.

Also has improved the visibility from the cabin thanks to the incorporation of lights of powerful work, that can be halógenos standard or lamps of high intensity. For the hygiene of operator, the excavator has a structure of protection anticaída of objects (FOGS) that can atornillar directly to the cabin ROPS. The surfaces antideslizantes, together with the new asideros that fulfil with the normative ISO, help to avoid the slips.

In matter of maintenance, the wide doors of service and the new design of the capó facilitate the access to the engine and to the compartments of refrigeration.

The model 966 K was the elected by Barloworld Finanzauto to represent to the new Series K of shovels of wheels Caterpillar. With a renewed design and an apt engine to fulfil the rules of the Phase IIIB of the European Union, the new shovel, with a high productivity and excellent efficiency of the fuel, account besides with a new place of operator, steering electrohidráulica, ladles of the series of high performance and a system of transmission more effective.

An engine Cat C9.3 Acert promotes the new machine. To 1.800 rev/min, generates a maximum net power of 201 kW. Designed for ladles of 2,50 to 9,90 cubic metres, the shovel 966 K and his greater sister 972 K, work of productive and economic form in applications of big volume and intensive schedule. Both machines can instrument with an attachment Cat Fusion and several implementos, by what result ideal for works of construction, arid, forestry and industrial applications and others of manipulation of materials.

The shovel 966 K is one of the models that are instrumented of series with a new and comfortable system of steering by crowbar type joystick electrohidráulica, that allows to the operator work in the neutral position more ergonomic with both hands supported comfortably in wide posabrazos regulables and padded. The system of steering by crowbar type joystick Cat has an exclusive function with feedback forced that increases automatically the tension of the satisfied crowbar increases the speed of trip. Of this form, improves the comfort and the control of the steering, particularly to high speeds. The crowbar type joystick moves sideways to side; his angle reflects the angle of articulation of the machine.

The components of the system of transmission have designed like a system and integrated cheese cheese to optimise the productivity and efficiency of fuel. The shovel has the new logical control of change to reduce to the first course. The new logic reduces the course in function of the requirements of pair of the machine in place of the speed of trip. Like this, the operator can use the way of automatic transmission in the first and until the fourth course. This simplifies the operation, reduces the times of excavation and improves the efficiency of the fuel.

To improve even more the productivity, the two new shovels have instrumented of series with the control of amortiguación, that improves the retention of the material.
