Question
A hydraulic-excavator backhoe is excavating the basement for a building. Heaped
bucket capacity is 1.10 m³. The material is common with a bucket fill factor of 0.90.
Job efficiency is 53 min/h. Average depth of cut is 2.7 m. Maximum depth of cut is
9.0 m and average swing is 75 degrees.
Estimate the hourly production in bank measure.
Your Answer:
Transcribed Image Text:A hydraulic-excavator backhoe is excavating the basement for a building. Heaped bucket capacity is 1.10 m³. The material is common with a bucket fill factor of 0.90. Job efficiency is 53 min/h. Average depth of cut is 2.7 m. Maximum depth of cut is 9.0 m and average swing is 75 degrees. Estimate the hourly production in bank measure. Your Answer:
A 5.2 m3 (heaped) hydraulic shovel with a bottom-dump bucket is excavating tough
clay with bucket fill factor of 0.67. The swing angle is 120 degrees and job efficiency
is 45 min/h.
Estimate the shovel's hourly production in bank measure.
