waste and recycling New Configuration for Caterpillar Material Handler The new Cat M318D MH Waste handler is a wheel excavator designed specifically for use in work areas with limited space, whether overhead or adjacent to the machine, whether indoors or outdoors. The CAT M318D MH waste handler This new configuration, which meets with accepted industry criteria to ensure safe operation and high production when working in close quarters, incorporates significant undercarriage and boom modification, while retaining the proven features of its conventional M318D MH counterpart. A purpose-built undercarriage preserves the rugged strength 24 Plant & Civil EnginEER of the conventional M318D MH undercarriage, but this model adapts the structure to the machine’s specialized application. The heavy-duty swing bearing tower is now centered on the undercarriage, placing it equidistant from axles and stabilisers for symmetry and optimum balance, whether working over the front or rear, In addition, the tower is larger to accommodate the hydraulic cab-riser swing bearing. The boom for the M318D MH waste handler also has been significantly modified to fit the machine to its tasks. The new boom has a shorter pin-to-pin length of 5.35 meters (17.55 ft), compared with the conventional M318D MH’s dimension of 6.4 meters (21.00ft). This compact material-handling boom, designed for use with the 4 200-millimeter (13.80-ft) stick, features a welded, box –section design with thick, multi-plate fabrications in high stress area for superior durability. These modifications ensure that the new M318D MH Waste Handler meets all dimensional requirements and allows the new configuration to maintain a competitive edge in reach, height and lifting capacity, providing the highest raised-cab position. Dampney’s Agri Environmental is the waste sewage contractor for Wessex Water. In order to increase the efficiency and traceability of its operations, Dampney’s recently invested in a GPRS data connection system to transfer truck load data from the RDS Loadmaster 8000i onboard weighing system to the central office via the mobile internet. The M318D MH Waste Handler also delivers more working power, having a new enginepower rating of 124kW (168 PS), main hydraulic pressure (implement circuit) of 350 bar (5,076 psi), and a rated hydraulic flow of 290 L/min (77gpm). Design specifics In addition to features that fit the M318D MH Waste Handler to work in confined areas, an optional Waste Handling package specifically equips the machine to work efficiently in waste transfer stations or other extremely dusty applications. The Waste Handling option features an automatic, hydraulically driven fan that cleans debris from the radiator by periodically reversing airflow after a specified interval (from 2 to 60 minutes, set manually at the monitor). A dense wiremesh hood complements the automatic fan by facilitating optimum cooling and reducing radiator clogging. For added engine protection, a Sy-Klone brand pre-cleaner separates and ejects debris from engine intake air before the air reaches the machine’s primary air cleaner. For optimum efficiency and lowcost operations, the M318D MH Dampney’s ‘Weigh With Waste’ Goes Mobile A waste contractor is using new GPRS data transfer technology to increase operational efficiency and turn waste product into profit. The waste handling industry is continually looking for ways to turn by-products from the treatment of sewage into a valuable commodity. After sewage has gone through an on-site drying process, Dampney’s distributes the remaining solid sludge product known as ‘cake’ from the local treatment plants to farmers who have purchased it in Waste Handler’s C6.6 engine is electronically controlled to maintain consistent net power in all operation situations. Electronic control, coupled with the engine’s common-rail fuel system, helps reduce fuel consumption, whether the machine is working or travelling. Added fuel savings result from the reversible cooling fan, which is also an electronically controlled, on-demand type that automatically adjusts its speed based on coolant and hydraulic-oil temperature. For increased durability, the cab uses heavy steel tubing around its exterior bottom perimeter for resistance to fatigue and vibration. This design also allows a fallingobjects guard to be bolted directly to the frame, but the guard can be raised easily for convenient windshield cleaning. A rearview camera is standard and displays images on the in-cab monitor. As with all Cat Wheeled Material Handlers, the M318D MH Waste Handler can be equipped with a quick coupler and a range of specialized work tools. The new configuration’s overall design retains ground-level access to routine maintenance points, including remote grease points. advance from Wessex Water as a cheap and effective fertiliser – a process which transforms the waste into a profitable product. This cake is free from harmful contaminants and rich in phosphates and nitrates that are excellent for growing crops, especially maize and oil seed rape.
