The excavator suddenly caught fire. The machinery and equipment used by the excavator boss to make money to support his family instantly turned to ashes and lost hundreds of thousands. According to investigations, there are hundreds of units every year, and construction machinery caught fire. This total number does not include those that have not been reported by the news. It was not the excavator that burned, it was the boss's money! In order to avoid accidental losses, everyone must understand some of the excavator fire factors and how to rescue them in the event of a fire accident.
Which excavator is most prone to fire accidents?
1. Antique cars in disrepair:
Some antique cars of about ten years are in disrepair, and the hardware configuration and wires are aging. The parts are loose, and they will have changed hands several times. Perhaps they have personally experienced common failures that are rarely known, and the performance of the car is more difficult to grasp. And generally, old cars do not pay attention to cleaning, the oil stains on the outer shell are thick, in case of standing a spark, it is very easy to cause a fire accident.
2. The hydraulic pipeline has potential safety hazards:
Some excavators have been in disrepair for a long time, the hydraulic pipes are damaged and aging, and most of the gear oil is high temperature. Under such circumstances, if the working pressure suddenly increases, it is very easy to cause a pipe burst. If the high-heat gear oil bursts out and sprays on the exhaust pipe, then there is a high probability of fire.
3. Excavators with modified power circuits:
Some assembled excavators have modified the power circuit without authorization, the wires are aging, and the wiring is messy. If a short-circuit failure occurs, the flame is very easy to cause the plastic parts and fuel pipe to catch fire. It is a very common fire accident situation.
common problem:
1. The car body is kept tidy and free of oily stains
The excavator repair center has seen that many people's excavators are very dirty, with too much oil, soil, oil waste and other compounds. Once there is a short circuit failure, it will ignite. Diesel engine compartment and hydraulic oil pump should be cleaned and cleaned frequently to avoid dripping and leakage, and keep it clean and dry from beginning to end.
2. Cultivate good practical operation habits
The items on the top of the excavator should be sorted out, and the special tools for rags should not be left at will. The driver who smokes should put the cigarette butt ash bomb into a suitable area, and the battery and various hydraulic oils should be checked immediately to avoid potential safety hazards in the budding period.
3. A must-have fire extinguisher
Excavator fires are often caused by power circuits and fuel pipes. This type of fire cannot be fired with tap water. It is best to use a special smoke extinguisher. When choosing a fire extinguisher, try to choose a slightly larger one, 6-10L is best. For fire extinguishers that are not usually needed, it is best to check whether they are expired and whether the working pressure is at the target value. A bottle of fire extinguisher is only a few tens of dollars, and it can save a tens of millions of excavators at a critical juncture.
