Machinery Performance Yields Analysis

The document presents information on the performance of different construction machines such as bulldozers, motor graders, excavators, front loaders, and compactors. It explains that performance depends on factors such as hauling distance, operating speed, machine dimensions, and the conditions of the terrain and material. Additionally, it includes graphs and tables with performance values of different machinery models under specific conditions.

Its production is estimated at m3and it largely depends on the distance

For the different models of this machinery, there are measurements.

performance graphs3/h depending on the hauling distance.
The development of these graphs was carried out under certain conditions such as
for example:

The efficiency of the machine is 100% - The machine digs 15 m and then pushes the material -

a soil density of 1370Kg/m - traction coefficient is 0.5 or higher - They are used
hydraulic control sheets - The excavation speed is the primary advancement and transportation in

Performance of a bulldozer
Performance of a motor grader
Performance of a grader
According to the Caterpillar manual, the performance of a motor grader is
given by the formula:
A = S x (Le - Lo) x 1000 x E (metric system)
Where:
A: operating hour area (m2/hour
S: operating speed (km/h)
Effective length of the blade (m)
Lo: width of overlap (m)
E: work efficiency

The operating speed of the motor graders is not

you can theoretically estimate a value.
The factor depends on the type of material, the skill of the
operator to maintain the same speed on the route
neglecting the efficiency of their work and even the sacrifice the
quality of the same.

To determine the production or yield according to the Manual

they are the number of passes necessary for the density
specified.
This data can only be found through density tests.

Important to Consider

The graphs and factors shown in this presentation serve to make a


approximate estimation of the production of these devices, however,
generally these are overestimated values because they are found
based on conditions that hardly occur in the field.

Therefore, establishing theoretical cycle times may lead to making


errors when calculating the machinery yields when estimating
a budget. Therefore, it becomes essential to take these cycles into account in the work.
