Exhaust emission impetus
material into an arc that always falls forward – eliminating the
need for multiple passes.
Power comes from a 28 kW Yanmar diesel engine and there
is an Energy Conservation Mode, which can be engaged with
the push of a button, when the application allows the operator
to run the equipment at lower power and performance levels.
A one-touch deceleration button makes it easy to switch to an
idling state, further reducing fuel consumption while the machine
is at rest. Another key feature is Kobelco’s proprietary iNDR
Cooling System, which both reduces engine noise and protects
components from dust.
The SK55 also comes with Kobelco’s KOMEX telematics
system, which allows owners to access critical machine data
including location, operating hours, fuel consumption and
maintenance status.
New additions to Case’s excavator line up include Tier 4 Final-
compliant versions of its CX75C SR and CX80C compact
excavators. The company says the machines are 5% more fuel
efficient than their predecessors, with faster cycle times, larger fuel
tanks, more hydraulic power and wider cabs.
The 7.4 tonne CX75C SR is a short radius machine, while the
8.5 tonne CX80C is a conventional machine. Each has three work
modes – Auto, Heavy and Speed – and these match engine revs
to the task in hand. There are also different idle rates, according
to the work mode, and an automatic engine shutdown also helps
with fuel economy.
Better machines
Compact machines with cleaner exhaust emissions clearly come
at a price, but manufacturers have taken the opportunity of these
new machine launches to improve their designs and in some cases
add new features to their machines which can deliver more value
to customers.
