As an important "loader attachment", the loader attachment cleaner is playing an increasingly critical role. It can efficiently complete cleaning tasks and bring many conveniences to various projects. However, to give full play to its value, it is necessary to have a deep understanding of its cost-effectiveness and construction advantages. The following will be a detailed analysis of the loader attachment cleaner.
COST STRUCTURE ANALYSIS OF LOADER ATTACHMENT CLEANER
1、 Purchase cost
The purchase price of the loader attachment cleaner is affected by many factors. Brand awareness is one of the important factors. Well-known brands such as "BONOVO" usually invest heavily in research and development, production technology and quality control, and the product quality and performance are guaranteed, and the purchase cost is relatively high. In addition, the model, specification and functional configuration also determine the price difference. The basic cleaner has relatively simple functions and may only have basic cleaning functions. The price is relatively low, generally in the tens of thousands of yuan; while the high-end model may integrate a variety of advanced functions such as intelligent cleaning control, efficient dust collection, and precise water sprinkling and dust reduction, and its price may be as high as more than 100,000 yuan. When purchasing, enterprises need to make careful choices based on their actual operational needs and budgets to avoid wasting costs due to blindly pursuing high-end configurations, or affecting the use effect and life of the equipment due to greed for low prices.
USE COST
1、Fuel cost
The loader attachment sweeper relies on the loader to provide power, and the fuel consumption during operation constitutes an important part of the use cost. The fuel cost is closely related to the cleaning time, intensity and fuel efficiency of the loader. For example, in large-scale cleaning scenes such as large squares and industrial parks, if the sweeper continues to work at a high intensity, the fuel consumption will increase significantly. Taking a common medium-sized loader with a sweeper as an example, the fuel consumption per hour is about 5-10 liters. If it works 8 hours a day and 20 working days a month, the monthly fuel cost can reach thousands of yuan. In order to reduce fuel costs, you can reasonably plan the cleaning route to reduce empty driving and repeated cleaning; at the same time, regularly maintain the loader to ensure that the engine is in good operating condition and improve fuel utilization.
2、Cost of parts loss
Brushes, seals, hydraulic pipes, etc. are consumable parts of the sweeper. During the sweeping process, the brushes frequently rub against the ground and garbage, and wear out quickly. Their service life varies depending on the operating environment and frequency, and is generally from hundreds to thousands of hours. When they are severely worn, they need to be replaced in time. The price of a set of brushes ranges from hundreds to thousands of yuan. Seals are easily eroded by hydraulic oil and aged by temperature changes, and hydraulic pipes may also wear out due to vibration and friction. The cost of these parts loss accumulates over long-term use and cannot be ignored. To reduce the cost of parts loss, on the one hand, reliable parts should be selected, and on the other hand, daily maintenance should be strengthened, and the wear of parts should be checked regularly and replaced in time to prevent the overall equipment failure caused by damage to small parts, which increases the maintenance cost.
MAINTENANCE COST
1、Labor maintenance cost
The loader attachment sweeper requires regular maintenance and troubleshooting by professionals, which generates labor costs. The skill level, work experience, and regional labor salary standards of the maintenance personnel will affect this cost. In first-tier cities, the daily salary of personnel with professional sweeper maintenance skills may reach hundreds of yuan. Enterprises can strengthen the training of internal maintenance personnel to improve their technical level, enable them to quickly diagnose and solve faults, reduce equipment downtime, and reduce labor costs; they can also establish long-term cooperation with professional maintenance service companies to strive for preferential prices.
2、Maintenance material cost
Lubricating oil, hydraulic oil, cleaning agent and other materials required for maintenance constitute another part of the maintenance cost. The prices of maintenance materials of different brands and specifications are different, and the amount used is related to the working condition and maintenance cycle of the equipment. For example, regular replacement of hydraulic oil is the key to ensuring the normal operation of the hydraulic system. A barrel of high-quality hydraulic oil may cost hundreds of yuan. According to the requirements of the equipment maintenance manual, it needs to be replaced every certain working time. To control the cost of maintenance materials, you can obtain preferential prices through centralized procurement and establish long-term cooperation with suppliers. At the same time, you can reasonably arrange the maintenance cycle to avoid excessive maintenance and cause material waste.
STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE THE COST-EFFECTIVENESS OF LOADER ATTACHMENT SWEEPERS
1、Accurate selection and configuration
When purchasing, you must fully consider the actual operation needs. If it is used for daily cleaning of urban streets, attention should be paid to the cleaning width, garbage collection and transportation capacity. A model with moderate cleaning width and large-capacity garbage collection box can be selected; if it is used for cleaning indoor places such as factory workshops and warehouses, more emphasis should be placed on flexibility and the ability to clean fine dust. A small cleaner with dust collection function can be selected. Through accurate selection and reasonable configuration, it can not only meet the operation needs, but also avoid cost waste.
2、Optimize use management
Establish a complete equipment use management system and standardize the operation process of operators. Before starting the cleaner, the equipment must be fully inspected; during operation, the cleaning speed and intensity should be reasonably adjusted according to the type of garbage and ground conditions. At the same time, strengthen operator training, improve their operating skills and energy-saving awareness, and reduce equipment failures and losses caused by improper operation.
3、Efficient maintenance
Develop a scientific maintenance plan and strictly follow the requirements of the equipment maintenance manual for regular inspection and maintenance. Regularly check the wear of the cleaning brush and adjust or replace it in time; check the pressure of the hydraulic system, the cleanliness of the oil, etc.; and lubricate the lubrication points of the equipment in time. Establish equipment maintenance files, record maintenance time, content, replacement parts and equipment operation status, and discover potential problems in advance through data analysis, reduce the probability of failure and reduce maintenance costs.
CONSTRUCTION ADVANTAGES OF LOADER ATTACHMENT CLEANERS
1、Efficient cleaning ability
Loader attachment cleaners have extremely high cleaning efficiency. Their high-speed rotating cleaning brushes can quickly clean ground dust, leaves, sand, gravel, garbage, etc. Compared with traditional manual cleaning, the efficiency can be increased several times or even dozens of times. In the cleaning of large industrial parks, using a cleaner may only take a few hours to complete, while manual cleaning requires dozens of workers to spend several days, which greatly shortens the construction cycle and improves work efficiency.
2、Wide adaptability
The cleaner can adapt to a variety of construction environments and garbage types. Whether it is outdoor places such as urban roads, squares, parks, or indoor environments such as factory workshops, warehouses, and underground parking lots, it can operate effectively.
