HOW DOES THE EXCAVATOR AUGER WORK?<\/h1>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”_initial” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.8em” text_font_size_tablet=”15px” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The excavator auger is a precise and efficient tool that is widely used in various work sectors:<\/p>\n

– Agriculture
– Construction
– Maintenance of vegetation
– Securing railways and roads<\/p>\n

The auger enables drilling, land reclamation and maintenance, as well as multiple other uses. It is used to install poles or foundations in construction, while in agriculture it is valued for clearing undergrowth, grafting and safeguarding plantations, and maintaining and refining green areas. It is also widely used in the construction of fencing to secure specific areas.<\/p>\n

The auger is made of superior quality steel, ensuring heavy use and long service life. The cylindrical frame houses advanced mechanics and is attached via a specific machine attachment, also made of steel and adapted to the excavator being used. Major components include:<\/p>\n

– Shockproof valve<\/strong>
– Reversing valve<\/strong>
– Planetary gearbox<\/strong>
– Flow reducer<\/strong>
– Steel crankcase
– Heavy Duty Support

Shockproof valve<\/span><\/h3>\n

Essential in very demanding contexts that require massive and continuous work, even of long duration. This component prevents damage to the motor in the event of tool blockage by managing excess pressure, which can occur, should one find oneself in very heavy work situations.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Very useful in case the operating machine is one-way. In fact, with this system, it will be possible to recreate the optimal working conditions of a bidirectional machine by actually achieving tool rotation in both directions and the same performance. This system makes it possible to reduce time and workloads.<\/p>\n

It greatly increases the force by significantly reducing the revolutions of the hydraulic motor. It is used to increase power output and achieve high torque that the hydraulic motor would otherwise fail to accomplish on its own. It achieves this function through a reduction ratio by increasing power through a process that creates a difference in input engine speed.<\/p>\n

Important especially if the auger is used with Skid Loader type operating machines with high flow system as it avoids possible damage by managing and reducing oil flows when necessary. This prevents particularly harmful situations such as overspeeding and seizure of the hydraulic motor from occurring.<\/p>\n

A true flagship of QM, this component increases resistance to radial loads from lateral oscillations. It is essential in the use of attachments such as the cement mixer, splitting screw, and stump grinder that require particularly heavy and intensive workload.<\/p>\n

Process of working with the QM drill
<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The tilling process begins with proper soil preparation to ensure effective and safe work. The QM auger, thanks to its machine attachment, allows it to work even in uneven situations. The machine attachment can be configured in two different modes depending on the type of work required:<\/p>\n
