Tough Excavator Running In Deep Mud Slurry !

When the excavator is driving in the mud slurry that submerges the excavator's turntable, it is very likely to cause damage to the excavator's turn table !

The mud slurry may contain impurities and particulate matter, which can enter the gaps of the turntable and increase the friction and wear between the components. In addition, prolonged immersion in the mud slurry can cause the metal components of the turntable to be corroded, reducing its strength and durability. If the pressure of the mud slurry is high, it may also damage the seals of the turntable, affecting its sealing performance, and then leading to problems such as lubricating oil leakage, further exacerbating the damage to the turn table !

When The Excavator Is Operating In The Mud Slurry, The Following Points Should Be Noted :

1. Check The Equipment
Before entering the mud slurry for operation, carefully inspect each component of the excavator, especially the turntable, tracks, and hydraulic system, to ensure they are in good working condition !

2. Move Slowly
When driving and operating in the mud slurry, operate slowly and avoid sudden acceleration, sudden braking, and sharp turns to prevent the excavator from losing balance or getting stuck in deeper mud Slurry !

3. Pay Attention To The Depth
Understand the depth of the mud slurry and avoid exceeding the allowable working depth of the excavator to prevent water from entering the chassis or it being submerged !

4. Clean And Protect
Clean the mud slurry attached to the excavator in time, especially the key parts such as the radiator and air filter, to ensure normal heat dissipation and air intake of the equipment !

5. Monitor The Oil Temperature
Keep a close eye on the temperature of the hydraulic oil, as operating in the mud slurry may cause the oil temperature to rise. Excessively high oil temperature will affect the performance and lifespan of the hydraulic system !

6. Regular Maintenance
Conduct comprehensive maintenance in a timely manner after the operation, inspect and replace worn parts, and replenish lubricating oil and hydraulic Oil !

7. Safe Operation
Ensure that the operator is familiar with the operation manual and safety regulations of the excavator and wears necessary protective equipment !

8. Observe The Surroundings
Pay attention to observing the surrounding environment of the operation to avoid getting stuck in unknown deep pits or dangerous areas !

The Mud Slurry May Cause The Following Damages To The Excavator Chassis :

1. Corrosion
The mud slurry usually contains water and various chemical substances. Long-term contact will lead to the corrosion of the metal components of the chassis, reducing the structural strength of the chassis !

2. Wear
The particulate matter in the mud slurry will cause friction when the chassis components move, accelerating the wear of chassis components such as tracks, supporting wheels, and idler wheels !

3. Blockage
The mud slurry may block the heat dissipation channels and lubrication channels of the chassis, affecting the heat dissipation and normal lubrication of the chassis components, thereby causing component overheating damage or increased wear !

4. Water Accumulation
If the chassis is not tightly sealed, the water in the mud slurry may enter the interior of the chassis, causing problems such as electrical system failures and rusting of components !

5. Dirt Accumulation
A large amount of mud slurry adhering to the chassis will increase the overall weight of the excavator, affecting its maneuverability and working efficiency. At the same time, it may also cover up possible cracks, damages and other problems of the chassis, resulting in failures not being detected and handled in time !
