Excavator on fire recently to see a lot of news. For all day exposed to the sun excavators, frequently hundred to ten thousand, and scrapped after a fire the machine does not say, in order to ensure progress of the project, the owner had to spend a lot of money to an emergency purchase a new car, this is not a walk Insurance You will be able to solve the matter, one to two to really worth the candle. Therefore, compared to a car fire, the fire of this work as a mechanical excavator class should put in the most important position.

Excavator on fire, regardless of brand, regardless of home and abroad, do not distinguish poor, millions of poor maintenance nobility product also still burn your tears. Many people think that the excavator will not be so easy to catch fire, there may be peer malicious competition artificially set fire to it, I am sorry to tell you that in many cases the excavator fire, police final decision result is spontaneous. Excavation Netcom some existing cases as we summarize some fire causes and points to note, as a preventive measure before the sun did not burn us, a good check your excavator bar.

Excavators fire causes:

1, classic cars most likely to catch fire

Disrepair, hardware wire aging is likely to cause a short circuit, loose parts, plus the half-way down the road several hands, whether intermediate had an accident, mosaic assembling pieces of what already see. Body oil thick, stained Mars will lead to danger.

2, the operation of hydraulic pipe burst causing hydraulic fluid sprayed into the exhaust pipe caused fire

The root cause is the action of hydraulic pipe burst actuator by a sudden obstacle in the case of a sudden pressure increase, the excavator oil return system can not be caused by a sudden increase in the oil return line pressure, thereby squib.

Sign Kato 1023-3 Case: this morning to go to work, the boss told me to open the old car hit a rock, I start her car, will begin a campaign to work, but not until two minutes hydraulic pipes to burst, hydraulic oil just spray to the exhaust pipe above, and Goodfellas boom that everyone on the up, tell the truth what really scary, that full two meters high flames. I look bad quickly as people to flame, just the forklift parked beside me and immediately pour shovel a shovel in the engine put out the fire on top of this. There was not a fire extinguisher all over spray so that, thanks to a forklift ah! Otherwise this grandfather on the West really want to break the stone to go! The fire is extinguished, but the engines are covered with earth and what is a panic , had the car to break, so one can not get a better read, to get the air compressor using wind, just get a morning clean!

3, a short circuit, the oil fire

Always check the car circuit, in accordance with the provisions of fuses, regular maintenance (replacement) damaged circuit, so as to put the risk of infanticide in the bud!

The usual precautions when operating and maintenance:

1, the body be kept clean and free of oil, to prevent leaking

Sometimes chassis floor dirty, or too much oil refuse mixture of oil soil, but there is a little short arcing, it is certainly ignited come. Usually pay attention to clean, the water rushing down also, a little rust does not matter, the key to safety first.

2, the operator develop good personal habits

Operator in the cab of smoking, which is very dangerous action. In addition, the cab misplacing things, tools heaps, battery liquid flow out of themselves do not know, this is a very big fire hazard. There are a lot of flames are the first from the excavator cab sprang to.

3, try not to fire with water, especially the oil fires is a circuit section

Best not to use the oil for the circuit or fire water to the fire, the sand might be better point, of course, if there is a professional firefighting equipment that is good.

4, must be equipped with a fire extinguisher

Equipped with fire extinguishers on principles, there is still a lot of excavator owners do not looked down on. In fact, when the fire started excavator relatively easy to find, at this time if the fire extinguisher is likely to be able to avoid a fire vehicle owners can avoid huge losses. A bottle of fire extinguishers, but hundred to dollars, and an excavator but hundred to ten thousand ah. I advise to now have not equipped with fire extinguishers to their owners, and quickly corrected.

To select a larger number of fire extinguishers, such 6-10L foam fire extinguisher can be. Of course, fire extinguishers should always check expiration, pressure is at the standard value, do not wait until an emergency situation when the discovery of fire extinguishers can not be used.

Some people think that the fire is not distressed excavator thing, because even been burned to the ground, some parts can be removed to sell scrap metal can sell tens of thousands of dollars, but such a monster destroyed by fire, even if passers-by will marvel, not to mention it is diligently to earn our baby yet. While it has not seen a fire due to casualties excavator news, but love their machine is equivalent to love their wallet, normally a little bit of good practice will be able to put an end to these horrible things, why can not we pay more for Money pay attention to it.
