Special Machinery

     Nowadays there is hardly any field of human activity in which different types of special machinery are not applied. It allows to solve many difficult tasks. With the development of national economy and spheres of human activity, the variety of this equipment grows.

Let us consider some types of special machinery:

  • construction and road machinery;
  • loading machinery;
  • machinery for timber processing complex;
  • special machinery for security and force structures;
  • fire engines.

If you use special machinery you often face the following challenges:

  • impossibility to find out the actual loading the vehicle works with;
  • based on the data on operation hours and mileage, it is impossible to calculate the actual fuel consumption;
  • wasteful mode of operation of the vehicle;
  • reluctance of staff to save fuel and protect vehicles;
  • application of fuel writing off norms, adopted during the Soviet Union times and highly exaggerated.

For example, a bulldozer consumes 20 liters of fuel per hour. It is about 160 liters of fuel a day or 3500 liters a month. An average driver adds about 10% to fuel consumption data (which is about 350 liters), which is equal to 17,5 hours of operation of the tractor. With current fuel prices it is not difficult to calculate the actual overpayment of the enterprise which will make up a considerable sum of money. 

 

     One of the biggest "problems" for companies with a fleet of special machinery are costs for fuel and fuel materials. Nowadays, the market offers a big variety of systems, whose main task is to control and economize fuel, such as fuel sensors, the fuel meters of various types (e.g. rotary, turbine, screw, ultrasonic, etc.). Some of them even have advantages over the fuel meters of "AquaMetro AG", but they are originally designed for large volumes of fuel and much more expensive.

    We are not going to deceive you with false percentage of savings, since we “do not sell the panacea for theft”, but introduce an accurate, functional and reliable instrument for complete transport control with a guarantee of the characteristics claimed - highly accurate fuel meters from the world leading manufacturer of measuring equipment, the Swiss company "AquaMetro AG"!

 

If you use special machinery, then fuel meter «AquaMetro» is what you need. With our device you get many advantages:

  • monitoring of actual fuel consumption;
  • ability to control the operation mode of the vehicle;
  • no need to be guided by the fuel writing off norms;
  • possibility of creating the NORMS OF ACTUAL FUEL CONSUMPTION for separate units of special machinery;
  • and others.

Application of fuel meters on the enterprises along with the system of awarding drivers, who had saved fuel, can help motivate other drivers to drive the vehicle in an optimal mode and, as a result, save fuel and expand the service life of the machinery.

Disadvantages of the fuel meter:

  • It requires interference into the fuel system of the vehicle.

     The fuel meter does not affect the effectiveness of operation of the vehicle and the capacity of the engine, since pressure drop in the meter is minimal it can in no way be reflected on the operation of the vehicle. 

     From the point of view of profitability, we recommend to introduce fuel measurement systems step by step, starting with less expensive but no less efficient, mechanical fuel meters. In future you can easily switch to more advanced - electronic fuel meters, with further connection to GPS monitoring systems.

     With the help of our system you will not only be able to improve the operation of the enterprise, but also dicrease the expenses, related to prevention of misuse of the machinery and fuel resources.
