VIETZ FUSIONTRAC 500
The FUSIONTRAC 500 is the most advantaged Butt-Welding Crawler suitable for all kind of HDPE pipeline construction. Due to the well chosen components made by well known manufactures we guarantee the highest possible quality level
in design, construction and reliability.
in design, construction and reliability.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS :
Engine:
The unique design of the FUSIONTRAC 500 is based on one large-size, heavy duty diesel engine which runs the generator and the drive system of the undercarriage. The installed DEUTZ TCD 2012 Tier 3 water-cooled engine belongs to the latest generation of turbocharging diesel engines and is equipped with DEUTZ common rail system for high-pressure fuel injection. The 4.0 litre displacement develops a 103 KW at 2,400 rpm. Simple and inexpensive installation, good durability and long service intervals responsible for the best cost-effectiness. A large radiator combined with an efficient silencing system keeps the noise emission of the FUSIONTRAC 500 down. Full operation ability is kept until 50°C ambient temperature. A two stage diesel filter with a water separator allows the machine to be run with low quality fuel without any limitations. An oil drainage tap facilitates oil changes significantly. A two stage air filter element combined with a cyclone dust separator allows operation in extremely dusty desert environment.
Transmission:
FUSIONTRACs are equipped with a two speed transmission in each drive direction. Maximum speed forward and rearward is 4.5 km/h. The maximum travel speed allows the machine to travel fast along side the right of way and to keep up with other crawler machinery. All two speeds can be electronically shifted from the panel inside the cabin while travelling under positive and negative full load conditions. In case of backwards moving an acoustic alarm sounds to prevent accidents.
Undercarriage:
A heavy-duty bulldozer type undercarriage with oil-lubricated chain segments and oil-lubricated rollers guarantees longevity in even very abrasive soil conditions. The long overall track length gives the FUSIONTRAC superior static and dynamic stability. 30° hill climbing ability is being achieved through strong final drives, combined with an excellent traction. “Counter-rotation” makes on-the-spot turns possible resulting in a very handy and versatile piece of equipment. Almost 400 mm ground clearance combined with low ground pressure ensures that the FUSIONTRAC is a machine which is able to operate in most severe and even swampy ground conditions. The machine is equipped with 500 mm wide heavy-duty shoes. If the travel mode is not engaged a hydraulic cylinder switched parking brake is automatically activated to secure parking position of the machine.
Air Compressor
The air compressor with 3 outlets with quick couplers supplies compressed air for cleaning the machine and the cabin. As another application the compressor delivers cooling air through a ring around the pipe for shortening the cooling time of the welding seams.
Cabin:
To ensure a proper overview of the ambient working area the FUSIONTRAC has the operator’s seat mounted in the front of the cabin, which is equipped with a heavy-duty air conditioning with an air volume of 1,800 m³/h and a cooling capacity of 9,500 Watt. The motion controls are very comfortable for the operator. A diesel and hydraulic oil level gauge inform the operator continously about the liquid levels. In case of any malfunctioning an automatic shut-off function prevents damage of any components. An acoustic warning signal indicates critical working parameters. The FUSIONTRAC is equipped with a certified ROPS protected cabin with tinted glass.
Butt Welding Machine
The FUSIONTRAC is equipped with McELROY butt welding machine that is suitable for pipe diameters between 180 – 500 mm and includes a 4,000 Watt heater plate, a hydraulic facer and inlays for 315 mm pipe diameter. Its specific compact design fits perfect in the cabin and can be handled by the operator very easily. The optional DataLogger records critical joining parameters. For more comfort, safety and avoiding fusion faults a CNC controlled automatic butt welding machine can optionally be installed.
Serviceability
All service and maintenance points are within easy access. The filter elements for the hydraulic system, the engine as well as of the compressor can be replaced within 30 minutes. All components are being chosen excellently rated manufacturers as Deutz, Sauer-Danfoss etc. that guarantee large service intervals and a long life time. A 300 l diesel tank volume keeps the machine running for two shifts without refilling. Due to a fuel humidity separator we can guarantee a perfect engine protection also by using low fuel quality.
Scope of supply
Each FUSIONTRAC is equipped with the following accessories / features: One tool box, including a standard set of hand tools as well as all special tools needed for service, maintenance and repair One full set of documentation in English language, including safety instructions, operation manual, service manual and spare parts catalogue
