Concrete Mixers

AT Wilde & Sons News

A concrete mixer is a piece of construction equipment used for mixing concrete to the right consistency. They are ideally suited to any type of project which requires the application of concrete, regardless of its size, whether it be for a garden patio, the foundations of a large building or for another industrial purpose, the principle remains the same. The two main types of concrete mixer include the larger mixer truck, this consists of a massive rotating closed drum attached to a lorry. The other type is the portable mixer, this is typically an open rotatable drum, usually on wheels for easy manoeuvrability. It isn't as large as the bulk mixers, allowing the mix to be easily tipped into a wheelbarrow. How Does A Concrete Mixer Work? […]

Excavator Parts

AT Wilde & Sons News

Most types of construction equipment including excavators are subject to wear and tear - this inevitably means that from time to time, some excavator parts may need replacing or upgrading. Ongoing maintenance is essential in helping to keep your equipment in good working order and prolonging its life. Common Reasons for Replacing Parts Poor Operation Rough handling by the operator can shorten the life of any excavator. To avoid this common problem, operators should be well trained and equipped with knowledge of best practice. This includes smooth operation and not tracking backwards on a regular basis over great distance – excavators should always be tracked in the correct direction; this is especially important over longer distances. Insufficient Maintenance It also a good idea to maintain the machine […]

Optimising Engine Oil Changes

AT Wilde & Sons News

Most types of vehicles and construction equipment come with recommended manufacturing oil change intervals which will invariably have been determined through extensive testing. Predetermined intervals can only be relied on as an approximate guide, as they are unable to take into consideration specific operating conditions. Many contractors are now attempting to optimise oil drainage intervals, to prevent oil from being drained either prematurely, or too late. Regular engine care, keeping the engine and its components in good working order can help to lower the number of yearly oil changes. Modern day equipment can last tens of thousands of miles before an oil change is necessary. Potential Factors Which Could Affect Oil Performance In order to optimise oil change intervals, it is important to take into consideration how […]

Air Compressors For Construction

AT Wilde & Sons News

How Do Air Compressors Work? An air compressor is a type of machine which converts normal air into a denser, high pressurised version. Compressed air is stored under a pressure which is greater than atmospheric pressure. The conversion process is typically performed in 3 stages, air intake, air pressurisation and air release. There are two types of air compressors – positive displacement compressors and dynamic compressors. In positive displacement compression, air is drawn into one or more of the compression chambers, which is then closed off from an inlet. The volume of each chamber decreases, compressing the air internally. In dynamic compression (also known as turbo compression), air is drawn in between the blades of a rapidly rotating compression impeller, this then accelerates to a high velocity. […]

Air Filters for Industrial Engines

AT Wilde & Sons News

An industrial air filter is a device specifically designed to prevent any molecular contaminants or solid particles from entering an engine. Industrial engines require clean air in order to maintain and maximise performance – industrial environments are subject to a number of pollutants such as dust, wear particles, emissions etc. all of which can have a negative impact on the overall performance of the engine. A good quality air filtration system provides a wide range of benefits to engines in both commercial and industrial settings: If the engine is not clean it loses efficiency and water may get into the engine. What Are Industrial Air Filters Made From? There are several different types of filtration media used for air filters – the material used very much depends […]
