Can you work more energy-efficiently with your excavator? According to Rototilt, the answer to that is yes - at least if you are using a rotary tilt attachment. That's because you can perform your tasks in a different way and achieve big energy savings with the latest Rototilt pivot attachment series, as demonstrated in recent tests. "The results are impressive, to say the least," says Sven-Roger Ekström, Product Manager at Rototilt.
A rotary tilt makes it easier to work with an excavator thanks to the greater flexibility of the equipment's movements. The ability to adjust the tilt angle and rotation of the attachment means it is easier to perform tasks with fewer machine movements. This saves fuel, but has further benefits in the long run," says product manager Sven-Roger Ekström.
"We call this the swivel tilt effect," Ekström explains. "We have always known that it is a big difference whether you work with or without a swivel tilt piece. Not only are fewer machines needed, but you can do the work with fewer movements and position changes. This saves both fuel and time and reduces the impact on the ground where you are working. So it has a number of positive environmental effects.
So the productivity and environmental benefits of the rototilt are many. But what makes Rototilt's tiltrotators so unique? According to Ekström, the rotary tilters from the new RC Tiltrotator series can further increase the positive effect thanks to improved energy efficiency with Rototilt's in-house developed pressure-compensated hydraulics.
"We took measurements comparing the previous generation's rotary tilters with our new pressure-compensated hydraulics in the RC4-RC9," says Ekström. "The result is impressive, to say the least, because we managed to streamline our product and can do the same work with lower energy consumption."
According to Rototilt, what they call the "rotary tilt effect," combined with the energy improvements of RC Tiltrotators, makes a big difference to a project's efficiency and energy consumption. But about how much fuel savings talk we actually?
"Our laboratory tests indicate a reduction in fuel consumption of 1-2 liters per hour on a 20-ton machine compared to our previous series of swivels," says Sven-Roger. "In the field, the savings are affected by a number of factors, such as the type of machine and the work. Converted to diesel per year, this can mean savings of thousands of euros."
Rototilt will participate in April at Intermat in Paris, with the theme "Decarbonization," where they will present the new series of rotary tilters and other products in the Rototilt Control concept, also known as RC.
