Kirtimo atliekų pirminio transportavimo technologinio proceso tyrimai

Abstract

This research paper investigates the extraction of logging waste from different tree sites using the „Komatsu 840.4“ forwarder. It was determined that the fuel and time consumption depends on the distance for transporting the waste, its usage, and the type of tree site. During the first examina-tion, the transportation distance without and with the load was 292 m and 299 m, respectively. Fuel usage for extraction of 1m3 waste was calculated to be 1,10 liters. During the second examination, the distance without load was 901m on average, and 842 m with the load. Upon the third examina-tion, dry roads reduced travel time and the extrction distance, on average, was 1279 m and 1357 m without and with the load, respectively. On average, 4,51 m3 of waste was extracted fore ach ope-ration cycle during this examination. It was determined, that manual loading takes more time; however, it can achieve larger loads
