PRODUCTIVITY CALCULATION OF EXCAVATOR STANDARD

Question.
What is the productivity of standard excavators per hour during excavation with
a depth of 2-4 meters?

Is known.

In fact, the bucket will become increasingly difficult to fill as the excavation
deepens, so to get a fully charged bucket requires several extra movements that
cause longer movement cycles.
What is meant by the bucket factor (Fb) is the level of soil hardness, with easy
scores (1.1-1.2), moderate (1.0-1.1), somewhat difficult (1.0-0.9) and difficult
(0., 9-0.8). While the meaning of the excavation factor (Fv) is a 40% dig depth
condition with an easy score of 0.7, normal 0.9, rather difficult 1.1 and difficult
1.4.

The efficiency factor (Fa) is the instrument operating condition, with a score of
either 0.83, moderate 0.75, slightly less 0.67, and less 0.58.

CONCLUSION
The excavator was created by Sir William Smith Otis initially to ease the
excavations on railroad construction work in 1835 and Otis received a patent
four years later.

Currently, excavators have been growing and in accordance with the needs,
such as the existence of mini excavators that function to clean the channels in
the city and village, also has also created a large size excavator, has a large
bucket capacity as well.

In accordance with the above sample calculations and in accordance with the
technical analysis then for the average production capacity of the standard
excavator with a depth of 2 to 4 meters of excavation is 120.61 m3/hour.

This calculation has included shrinkage factors and other external factors, also
taking into account the arm cycle and average rotation of the excavator at work.

By knowing the productivity of excavators per hour then you can determine
how long you can rent this heavy equipment to complete your work to make it
faster and save money.

This calculation is only an example and can be used by anyone, this calculation
is in accordance with a technical analysis and can be developed in accordance
with the needs of a field.

This is the only thing I can write on this occasion, over all the mistakes and lack
of unintentional writing as a servant of God, I apologize.
