Future proof power solutions from Barrus
Barrus will be showcasing the latest portfolio of power solutions from the world’s leading emission compliant diesel and petrol engine manufacturers including Yanmar, John Deere Power Systems and Kawasaki at Hillhead 2016.
The focus will be on emission compliant engines that have been designed with future legislation in mind. Yanmar’s L100 and L70 engines from the popular L-Series air-cooled range meet the Final Tier 4 emission regulations. They are ideal for powering construction equipment, power generating sets, pumps and hydraulic power packs.
Yanmar customers with TNV-CR water-cooled series industrial diesel engines are already prepared for the introduction of EU Stage V regulations in 2019. These engines, in addition to meeting the US EPA Tier 4 and EU Stage IV regulation, are already compliant with the proposed 2019 EU Stage V requirements which will limit the Particle Number (PN), thus reducing the emission of ultrafine particulate matter. This means that any industrial equipment with a Yanmar EPA Tier 4/EU Stage IV engine already in use will need no further modification whatsoever to comply with EU Stage V regulation.
“Yanmar put a lot of effort to ensure that any newly introduced technical development coming to the market retains the same degree of reliability which made the company so renowned worldwide,” comments John Day, General Manager, Industrial Division, E. P. Barrus Ltd. “As emission legislation tightens, Yanmar has responded once again and we are ready for the future now.”
John Deere’s approach to emission control is proven and has led to a DPF (diesel particulate filter) solution that is capable of complying with the requirements concerning Stage V emissions. One of the significant impacts expected of Stage V will be the introduction of a particle number (PN) limit for engines in the 19kW to 560kW power band, which will necessitate the use of DPF technology by OEMs.
“John Deere has been employing DPF technology since Interim Tier 4/Stage IIIB so Final Tier 4 engines that are already in use and equipped with DPF will need no further modifications whatsoever to comply with the proposed 2019 EU Stage V regulation, which provides original equipment manufacturers with the benefit of a one installation advantage,” comments John Day, General Manager for the Industrial Division, E. P. Barrus Ltd.
In surface mining and quarry operations, John Deere diesel engines offer the same advantages that have made the brand famous in the construction sector: uninterrupted power, ultimate reliability and low cost of ownership. They are driving crushers, excavators, loaders, dumpers, gensets and air compressors worldwide.
The Industrial Division at Barrus has a flexible approach to customer requirements providing specialist applications engineering support for both one off projects and volume production.
Prall-Tec GmbH recently approached Barrus to work with them on a project to supply John Deere engines for their first tracked mobile impact crusher, the Prall-Tec PT1.1 Pro.“Our goal was to build a high quality crusher with the same performance characteristics as our existing stationary impact crushers that we have been building for more than 20 years,” commented Frederik Teepe, Managing Director of Prall-Tec GmbH.
Prall-Tec worked with Crushers Inc. Ltd, based in Leicestershire to design and manufacture the chassis and to install the engine. “Apart from choosing Crushers Inc., we wanted to select the right engine for the application from a supplier that could assist and support us in the installation process,” Frederik explained.
Barrus reacted very quickly to Prall-Tec’s initial enquiry and converted an existing John Deere 6090HFU84 Stage III A, 1500rpm fixed speed engine in their workshop facilities to meet the required specification and assisted with the installation.
Commenting on the engines performance Frederik said, “After completing several performance tests the 9-litre John Deere engine provided so much power that we were able to achieve an even greater output than we had first calculated.”
There will be a number of OEM machines displayed on the stand at Hillhead including a working Yanmar 4TNV88C Tier 4 engine that Askham Bryan College use in support of their Plant Maintenance Apprentices training courses. There will be a Tuftruk Powered Mini Dumper fitted with a Yanmar L48, a Thwaites 1 Ton Dumper with a Yanmar 3TNV76 and a Dawson Hydraulic Power Pack with a John Deere 4.5 litre FT4 engine.
