Doosan Excavator Offers Best Performance in 100 t Class
NEW DOOSAN EXCAVATOR OFFERS BEST PERFORMANCE IN 100 T CLASS
Doosan has launched the new DX1000LC-7 Stage V compliant100 tonne crawler excavator, the largest excavator model ever manufactured by the company.
Driven by the most powerful engine in the 100 tonne class, the DX1000LC-7 also has the highest hydraulic flow for this size of machine, providing best-in-class performance, with higher productivity, lower fuel consumption and smoother controls. Like all Doosan excavators, much attention has been given to operator comfort and safety. The DX1000LC-7 has a new, very spacious operator cab, equipped with ergonomic controls and instrumentation. Special care has been taken to ensure noise is kept to a minimum through enhanced sealing of the engine compartment and extensive use of sound-dampening materials. All components and assemblies are designed, built and tested to ensure durability. Multistage filters and features such as track guards and cylinder guards for the boom and arm, the auto grease system and greased and sealed track links are designed to provide superior reliability and a long service life. The DX1000LC-7 is easy to maintain, further reducing downtime to a minimum. The DX1000LC-7 excavator is powered by the new stage V version of the well-proven Perkins 2806J diesel engine, providing a high power output of 469 kW (629 HP), more than any other machine in this class. The engine meets Stage V emission regulations by utilising exhaust gas recirculation, selective catalyst reduction, diesel oxidation catalyst and diesel particulate filter (DPF) after-treatment technologies. The DPF automatically regenerates every 25 hours and the excavator continues to work unaffected during this regeneration phase. The operator can check the status of the DPF via the display on the gauge panel in the cab. The high output of the engine is combined with a Virtual Bleed Off (VBO) hydraulic system (D-ECOPOWER+), and controlled by electric manipulator (FEH) providing a best-in-class hydraulic flow of (3x 523) - 1569 l/min and a high system pressure of 360 bar, together contributing to the best performance in the 100tonnemarket. Doosan’s D-ECOPOWER+ FEH technology utilises an electronic pressure-controlled pump within a closed centre hydraulic system to optimise productivity and fuel consumption, depending on the mode selected. A closed centred main control valve minimises pressure loss, while the electric pressure-controlled pump manages and optimises engine power more effectively. Software is utilised to electronically reproduce the full benefits of an open centre hydraulic system with very little energy loss. The hydraulic system and engine output are fully optimised and synchronised, further reducing losses within the system. Improved feedback to the operator through the joystick results in improved machine control and less operator fatigue. The acceleration and deceleration of the excavator workgroup functions are smoother, allowing operators to perform repetitive swinging and digging motions with less jerking movements. BOOM AND SWING MODES
To provide optimized operations when working with the DX1000LC-7 excavator, the operator can switch between two modes- Boom or Swing- giving priority to boom or swing movements, respectively, so they can best match how they are using the machine to the application they are working on. Faster working speeds are ensured by the 2-spool Boom Down Regeneration system in the DX1000LC-7, which also reduces fuel consumption. The 2-spool hydraulic system for the bucket cylinder also increases hydraulic flow and the working speed of the bucket, again reducing fuel consumption. The DX1000LC7also has a boom/arm cylinder lock valve (anti-hose burst valve) as standard for increased safety, preventing accidents caused by hydraulic hose rupture on site. COMFORT AND CONTROLLABILITY
Already excelling in spaciousness and ergonomics, the new cab in the DX1000LC-7 is designed to significantly enhance operator comfort and ease of operation. The cab has a new high quality seat and offers more features as standard than other machines on the market, ensuring super controllability and high precision in all applications. Key new features in the cab include a 8-inch touch-enabled colour LCD gauge panel, providing more information via a 30% larger screen; stereo system integrated in the gauge panel (with Bluetooth streaming function; and keyless start system. A full camera array is standard, comprising a front camera, two side cameras and a rear camera. The camera display is separated from the gauge panel and provides full visibility around the excavator and allows the operator to see a top-down view of the area outside the machine. This is combined with an AVM (around view monitoring) system as standard. LED working lamps are also standard on the DX1000LC-7, providing up to 75% better illumination of the workspace around the excavator, ensuring improved productivity in dusk and nighttime work and to help prevent accidents on site.

MCHALE PLANT SALES SHOWCASING METSO LOKOTRACK CRUSHERS AT BALMORAL SHOW
McHale Plant Sales, distributors in Northern Ireland of Metso Outotec crushers, will be out in force at the forthcoming Balmoral Show with an exhibition unit exclusively dedicated to the Finnish-manufactured Lokotrack range of mobile crushers.
Strongly rooted in the Northern Ireland market, where the company also distributes Komatsu Forest timber harvester and forwarding equipment, and with a bluechip customer base that spans both Ireland and Northern Ireland, McHale Plant Sales management and sales personnel present at Balmoral will be looking forward to welcoming quarry owners, aggregates producers and civil works contractors to the four-day event. Exhibited for viewing will be two models from the Lokotrack mobile crusher range – units proven in operation at a number of the Republic and Northern Ireland’s leading quarry and aggregates sites. Considered to be the most advanced Metso mobile, the new Lokotrack LT120 jaw crusher combines crushing performance, field-proven technology and user-friendly design in a package that delivers productivity, energy efficiency, fuel economy, reliability, safety and long life. Stablemate of the LT120 is the Lokotrack LT1213mobile impactor plant which, in its LT1213S variant, comes fully equipped with high capacity screen and return conveyor, with the added advantage that both models are transportable as a single unit on a low bed trailer. HIGH PROFILE USERS
Prominent amongst a number of highprofile Lokotrack users supplied by McHale Plant Sales are the internationally-known CRH Group; the Munster-based aggregates and building materials producer, Ducon; and the Limerick-based drilling, blasting and crushing contractor, Drilltech- Roadstone having taken delivery of an LT1213S model with Ducon and Drilltrech both opting for an LT120 model.
As Ireland-wide distributors for Metso Outotec – including also the Nordtrack model range - McHale Plant Sales is close to the quarrying and aggregates sector, and to the civil engineering and construction sector also - relationships founded on its almost-30 years long history as distributors in the ROI of Komatsu excavators and construction equipment. Through these appointments, the company maintains what its chairman, Michael McHale says is a highly-responsive, allIreland parts storage and supply service and a fleet of mobile service units, all backed-up by two fully staffed machine maintenance, refurbishment and repair centres at Birdhill and Rathcoole. A further tier in the company’s operations is a ‘Used Machinery Sales’ operation, permanently in contact with a worldwide customer base attracted to quality, well-maintained pre-owned machines - a support which McHale notes “is attractive to customers when investing in new machinery”. Looking forward to Balmoral, Michael McHale said: “We are immensely proud to represent Metso in the Irish market, not least in Northern Ireland, an important marketplace in which we wholly recognise and respect the discerning nature of equipment owners and operators and their reasonable expectations which we strive always to meet.”
