Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If a track-mounted loader has a bucket capacity of 3 m³ and uses crushed stone with a fill factor of 80%, estimate its hourly production in kg given the crushed stone weighs 1,800 kg/m³ and it completes a cycle every 50 seconds.

💡 Hint: Use the cycle time to determine how many cycles fit in an hour before calculating overall production.

Question 2

Discuss how the type of material and loader configuration might influence the bucket fill factor and explain what adjustments you would recommend for optimal performance.

💡 Hint: Think about the mechanical advantages each loader type provides.
