During high-load and retarding conditions, the stator clutch locks without the need for operator input. The dozer’s new torque converter design with stator clutch automatically frees up the stator when torque multiplication is not required, improving drivetrain efficiency for reduced fuel consumption. In addition to delivering productivity gains of up to 3%, the new D10 offers up to a 4% fuel consumption advantage over the D10T2 and up to 10% over the D10T. Maximizing material moved per liter of fuel, the C27 switches power settings based on travel direction to offer up to 20% more power in reverse, reducing cycle times.

EPA Tier 4 Final/EU Stage V as well as Tier 2 equivalent emissions standards for meeting the needs of the global market. The new D10 is powered by the Cat C27 engine, which offers aftertreatment solutions to meet U.S. Its combination of improved technology, longer component life, extended oil changes and increased serviceability reduces maintenance and repair costs up to 8%, helping the new D10 deliver industry-leading low cost of ownership. Featuring a stator clutch torque converter and load-sensing hydraulics, the new design is up to 6% more efficient than the Cat D10T2. “It takes a bit of pressure away from having surveyors on the ground, potentially exposing them to additional hazards.Infused with industry-leading technology, the durable Cat® D10 Dozer burns less fuel, increases productivity and improves uptime. “We upload mine plans into the dozers, and we’ve put ramps in recently using that system, within 30 millimetres of the designs. We expose more coal and progress the dragline plan a lot quicker,” he said. It just makes them more productive by having the D11s in front of them. “That’s to optimise the dragline fully and make sure they’re efficient in what they’re doing. With onboard GPS guidance tools and real-time feedback, Cat Terrain for grading gives dozer operators the information to maximize machine efficiency by monitoring coal seam location, bench heights, cycle times and the volume of material cut and filled.īatchfire Resources Superintendent – Dragline and Mine Services – Mining and Production, Matthew Scales, confirmed that Batchfire had recently re-introduced Dozer push back into the operation when setting up benches for the Draglines. The new dozers also feature Cat Terrain, which uses high-precision GPS guidance technologies, and material tracking, to help the operators work the machines according to plan.

“They are essentially replacing older version D11Rs and D10Rs, and we’ve seen an efficiency gain of 10% with the new style engines.”

“The impressive reliability and performance of our existing fleet of Cat dozers was an important factor in our decision to invest in the new Cat D10Ts and Cat D11Ts. “There were no questions, we were going Caterpillar dozers,” Mr Boal said. Our commitment to investing in the latest equipment, as part of an initiative with Hastings Deering to modernise our pre-strip mining fleet, includes four D10Ts and four D11Ts – half of which have already been delivered.īatchfire Resources Superintendent Mobile – Engineering and Maintenance, Daniel Boal explains the machinery needed to offer a mix of carbon emission reductions, high productivity, and around-the-clock reliability. Batchfire upgrades to 10% more efficient Cat D10 and D11 dozersīatchfire’s new Cat D10T and D11T dozers boast improved economy, performance, and productivity for our Callide Mine.
