Caterpillar Boost remanufacturing industry

A few years ago, Caterpillar has been expanding continuously. Caterpillar announced an excavator production capacity expansion plan will expand to four times in Xuzhou Factory till to 2014. The first half of this year, Caterpillar still committed to advancing the base of Jiangsu, Shandong and other expansion plans and plan launched caterpillar excavator.

However, according to the reporter from Caterpillar (China) insiders, trapped in the Chinese market downturn, the project has not been pushed substantially. Unlike traditional capacity stopped expansion in China, Caterpillar remanufacturing field increased development efforts.

Reporters learned that Caterpillar has become one of the world's leading manufacturing companies, annually recycled about 2 million parts in the global. Because remanufacturing can save 70% of the parts, as well as 80% of water, electricity and other energy resources consumption can reduce more than 60% of the cost, and thus obtained the attention by Caterpillar. 68 Caterpillar factories in 17 countries currently engaged in remanufacturing.

Caterpillar in China has established two manufacturing companies - Caterpillar Remanufacturing Industry (Shanghai) Co., Ltd and Yuchai Remanufacturing Industry (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. The former produce pump, motor and engine parts. Offer Service for parts remanufacturing business of the region, it while also providing services to external customers and other Chinese Carter business units. Latter was run by Guangxi Yuchai and Caterpillar joint venture enterprise.

 In fact, several years ago, Richmond had said that the next decade global remanufacturing market will reach 100 billion U.S. dollars. China may become the largest market in the field. Richmond told the reporter, remanufacturing is one of the fastest-growing businesses in Caterpillar. Remanufactured products have reduced costs for customers, and benefit for the environment, increasing in more business opportunities. Caterpillar in China further promotes the remanufacturing business development.

It is reported Caterpillar remanufacturing business has been extended from the eastern region to the western region of China, in July this year, Caterpillar Remanufacturing begin to layout southwest.

Richmond said, remanufacturing policy plays a key role in China. Before in 2005, re-manufacturing is a restricted industry, and later it comes to realize the great significance for the achievement of sustainable economic development, which has now become encouraged industry. But it is still not perfect in terms of standards, distribution, tax policy, may take a long time to solve these problems.

Caterpillar bulldozers correct driving operation and use of technology

Bulldozer and caterpillar excavator sales growth goes to a positive number. Infrastructure recovery appears gradually effect. Although excavator and wheel loader sales picks up speed is lower than the normal seasonal characteristics, but in circumstances of infrastructure enhancement relative steady picks up, the future engineering mechanical power is still real estate. Synchronous indicators are real estate new start rate; leading indicators is real estate sales.

1, advance and retreat

Variable speed hanging block, should first will throttle lever is pushed ahead to the idle position, then the main clutch lever push to the front, make the main clutch, the main clutch inside small brake in the role of the transmission power input shaft stop turning. At this moment, but will change post correctly moved to shift required, then in a bar in forward or backward position (bulldozer forward, will be in a bar pull back, back when he is pushed forward). After put into gear, throttle lever pull back, in order to increase the engine speed, and smooth connection of main clutch, bulldozers start driving.

When driving, should be the main clutch lever pull to the side, and put it not half joint position. For the Lord clutch half joint will aggravate the friction plate wear. Transmissions usually have five forward gears and four back in. Use a lever can change bulldozers and excavator's direction of travel.

In the work, should as far as possible with the highest speed operation, in order to improve work efficiency. But driving personnel should always pay attention to engine operation is normal or not, found that engine overheating and exhaust smoke, should be appropriately reduced speed.

2,turn to veer

Travel in turn can be turned to the edge of the steering clutch lever pull back, make the steering clutch, and the corresponding side of the track speed slow, bulldozers began to move. If you want to make a bulldozer twister, in addition to separate steering clutch outside, still should tread down corresponding brake pedal, generally only in Ⅰ stop running to allow for quick turn. Do not use brake, foot should not be kept on the brake pedal, otherwise, it will lead to brake band wear and fuel consumption increase.

Bulldozer steering should be smoothly on brake pedal, in order to avoid turning beat occurs. After the turn should be loose brake pedal, and then release lever. If the turning radius is bigger, it doesn’t have to step on the brake pedal. No heart, avoid by all means make bulldozer high speed in situ rotary, lest track derail and cause accidents.
