Innovation in Emissions Treatment on CAT 120M Grader
When it comes to heavy machinery, finding an emission control solution is crucial.
In this case study, we see how the client’s requirement for an effective emissions control solution was achieved within the same casing area previously occupied by the original genuine silencer on a CAT 120M Motor Grader.
This innovation is a game-changer in terms of improving emission output yet creating the solution as a simple, direct-fit replacement unit.
The CAT 120M Motor Grader plays a key role for our client in construction and road maintenance projects with its powerful Cat C7 engine and heavy-duty capabilities.
In its current operational scope, a key focus is on aligning emission output with precise environmental standards without compromising performance, and without necessitating additional external equipment that could obstruct visibility or operations, or demand intricate maintenance on the grader.
SOLUTION
ISSUE
The ideal process would be a unit in that mounted under the bonnet using the same mounts as the genuine silencer.
It was also a requirement to re-install heat blankets on the exhaust as per the existing. Determining that the Flowtech Diesel High-Flow Combination Filter met their desired emission outcomes, the client instructed the Flowtech team to develop the unit based on accurate dimensions provided by the client of the genuine silencer.
This ensured the grader could continue certain operations while the new part was being designed and built.
The Benefits of Flowtech's Filtration Technology
The Flowtech Diesel High-Flow Combination Filter has been proven to reduce harmful particulate emissions by up to 75%.
This is achieved with a combination of two advanced filtration technologies that work together to capture and remove particulate matter and other pollutants from the exhaust stream.
Additionally, this filter operates within typical backpressure limits for optimal engine performance, preventing any adverse engine performance or excessive fuel use.
Usually crafted from aluminized material or in certain applications stainless steel, this filter system showcases a user-friendly design and can seamlessly operate on the equipment.
Distinctly Australian-made, it has successfully completed all crucial phases encompassing research, production, testing, and delivery.
Custom-designed filter for the CAT140M Motor Grader
We also had the opportunity to design and supply a high-flow combination filter for the CAT140M Motor Grader for another client.
This filter has been specifically designed to meet the requirements of heavy-duty equipment used in the construction and mining industries.
Conclusion
The remarkable decrease in harmful emissions is not the only advantage offered by the Flowtech Diesel High-Flow Combination Filter. Its implementation also marks a significant milestone in heavy machinery operational cost savings.
By minimal impact on fuel efficiency and requiring less frequent maintenance, the operator of the CAT 120M Motor Grader will notice a marked improvement in operating emissions with barely a change in maintenance or performance.
