Mucking Machine Classification

Mucking Machine is mainly categorized according to the walking mode, walking device, loading mode and so on:

First, according to the traveling mode is divided into towed and self-propelled:

(1) Towed Mucking Machine: it is often towed by crawler tractor when working, with the advantages of small grounding pressure, large attaching ability and strong climbing ability, etc. It is commonly used in short transportation distance and soft and wet area projects.

(2) Self-propelled Mucking Machine: It has the ability to walk, and there are two kinds of walking devices: tracked and tire type. Crawler-type self-mucking machine, also known as shoveling bulldozer, its bucket is directly mounted in the middle of the two tracks, for the transport distance is not long, the site is narrow and soft and wet zone work.

Second, according to the loading mode is divided into lifting type and ordinary type:

(1) Lifting Mucking Machine: also known as chain plate loading type, in the bucket above the shovel blade is equipped with chain plate soil transport mechanism, the shovel blade cutting soil uplift to the bucket, so as to accelerate the soil loading process, reduce the resistance to soil loading, the effective use of its own power to achieve self-loading, without the help of shoveling machinery can be loaded to the tip of the heap capacity, can be a stand-alone machine operation. It is not suitable to be used when the soil contains large stones, and its economic transportation distance is within 1000m.

(2) Ordinary Mucking Machine: also known as open bucket shoveling type, relying on the traction of the traction machine and shoveling machine thrust, the use of shovel knife will cut up the soil shovel, in the operation of the soil chips loaded into the bucket, and its shoveling resistance is larger.
