Sutton adds a new Komatsu PC228USLC-3 zero tail swing hydraulic excavator to their fleet. Wexford based Sutton Plant Hire have added a new PC228 LC-3 to their large fleet of Komatsu equipment
T
he company was founded by James (Jim) Sutton in 1956 and his first piece of equipment was a Fordson Major tractor with a front loader.
The company quickly progressed during the sixties using dozers, rope excavators and early hydraulic machines. In 1977 the relationship with Komatsu began when two D50S-15 Crawler Loaders were added for a road project near New Ross in Co Wexford . Following Jim’s untimely death in 2002 the second generation of Garrett, Timothy and Kevin have continued to build the business which is based at Broomhill, Fethard-on-Sea, Co. Wexford while participating in Civil Engineering, excavation and Demolition projects throughout Ireland Today Sutton Plant Hire have an extensive fleet of Komatsu equipment including Dozers, Hydraulic Excavators and Compact machines. “The 228 is a huge hit with our customers because it has the power and stability of a large Machine” said Garrett . “our customers often have jobs where there is little room to work, the 228 can work in a traffic lane without the worry of the back-end hitting something.”

The PC228USLC-3 is equipped with the latest KOMTRAX™ technology, which sends machine operating information to a secure website utilising wireless technology. Data such as operating hours, location, cautions and maintenance alerts are relayed to the web application for analysis. The KOMTRAX™ fleet monitoring system increases machine availability, reduces the risk of machine theft, allows for remote diagnosis by the distributor, and provides a wealth of other information to drive business efficiently and productively.
Special features of the PC228USLC-3 include: • Low Emissions Engine The excavator is equipped with the newly developed, powerful, low emission Komatsu SAA6D107E-1 electronically controlled common rail type engine that significantly reduces Nox emissions by 29% with an accurate multi-staged fuel injection system. The engine meets EPA Tier 3 and EU stage 3A emission regulations without sacrificing power or machine productivity. The PC228USLC-3 is equipped with working modes designed to match engine speed, pump flow and system pressure to specific application requirements, giving the operator flexibility to match equipment performance to the job at hand. Economy mode now features four level settings, allowing the operator to
McHALE PLANT SALES NEWS Issue 6 Winter 2010
achieve required production with the lowest possible fuel consumption. In the power mode the machine is set for maximum-horsepower operation. Even if the pressure varies with the pump load, the engine speed is properly controlled and the engine is always used near the rated output point. This mode is suitable for large production and heavy-load work since the engine output is fully utilized. The lifting mode gives the operator seven percent more lifting force on the boom making it ideal for situations such as lifting heavy pipe, or precise control with heavier loads. A breaker mode is now provided as an independent function that allows for maximum production and power. • Maintenance Made Easy Equipped with Komatsu’s exclusive EMMS (Equipment Management Monitoring System), the PC228USLC-3 was designed to reduce costly downtime. EMMS continually monitors all critical excavator systems, alerting and guiding the operator should a problem
occur. By preventing a small problem from becoming a major service issue, EMMS contributes to operating cost reduction. The system also tracks the preventative maintenance schedule, providing on-board warning as required maintenance becomes due. Error codes and troubleshooting assistance are available at the EMMS display which minimize diagnosis and repair time. • Spacious and quiet cab Komatsu’s low-noise cab design uses a pressurize highly rigid cab and air filter to reduce noise and prevent external dust from entering the cab. The cab rests on fully-viscous damping mounts, minimize vibration and noise from the machine body and reducing operator fatigue. An electronic engine, highly rigid cylinder block, low-noise muffler design and optimal arrangement of sound absorbing materials throughout the engine compartment further reduce dynamic noise.

McHALE PLANT SALES NEWS Issue 6 Winter 2010
Komatsu at Bauma 2010 A few days before the grand opening of Bauma 2010, which took place in Munich Germany, on April 19-25 2010, a volcano in Iceland suddenly exploded and spewed its gigantic cloud of ash high into the sky, paralyzing Northern European airports for nearly 10 days. The effects of this generalized flight ban were very visible during the first days of the biggest fair in the construction and earth moving business, with nearly 50 exhibitors unable to make it in time. Many travellers from Asia and North America found it all but impossible to attend, and hundreds of continental visitors had to resort to long trips by rail and road to reach Munich. But despite these last minute difficulties, and a 17% reduction in attendance compared to Bauma 2007, organizers were pleased to declare Bauma 2010 a great success, a turning point in the industry, with a record number of exhibitors and close to 415,000 visitors from over 200 countries.
European premiere for Komatsu’s PC200-8 Hybrid Excavator
the first time. All around it was a skilful display of 30 big and small, productive and comfortable, efficient and eco-friendly Komatsu machines including the new PW148-8 wheeled excavator, the D65WX-16 Dozer with its foldable Inpat blade, a PC290LC/NLC-8 High Reach Demolition crawler excavator and the WA150PZ 6 wheel loader.
KOMTRAX™ always a star attraction
An especially attractive feature of the Komatsu exhibition was the KOMTRAX Centre’s multi-media demonstration of the advantages and outstanding service that come with the purchase of a Komatsu machine. Big visuals, videos, an expert’s corner, and an interactive game encouraged visitors to learn the details of how Komatsu’s exclusive satellite monitoring system allows proactive and preventive maintenance, helps customers to easily and cost effectively manage a whole fleet of Komatsu machines and can assist in efficiently running a business. Activated on over 19,000 machines in Europe alone, KOMTRAX™ is considered by many as the most advanced and practical monitoring system on the market today. It facilitates top productivity and can represent a major cost advantage. The Parts info point proposed interesting promotions of Komatsu Genuine Parts and a free walk-around inspection of a Komatsu machine. The live presentation of Genuine eco-white filters drew large crowds.
Press Conference and VIP Event
Located in Hall B5, the Komatsu stand spread out over 4,300 m², in a visually impressive yet cosy display of state of the art technology and engineering excellence. It welcomed many thousands of visitors to a selection of Komatsu’s newest models and latest technological innovations and to its integrated package of aftermarket services and options specially designed to offer customers lower total costs for machine operation and maintenance. At the centre of attention, the PC200-8 Hybrid Excavator - the only of its kind in production in the world today- was presented to the European public for
At Komatsu’s press conference, attended by over 40 international journalists, Mr. Akira Sugiki; CEO of Komatsu Europe International, presented Komatsu’s latest results and the company’s strategies and goals for the upcoming years. In his statement, Mr. Sugiki declared that the two years since the global financial crisis have been an opportunity for Komatsu to structurally reform its European operations and put the company in an ideal position to cope with the recovery and the new economic environment. “Our aim is to use these structural reforms to improve our sales, our market share and our after-sales support, and to better serve our customers” said Mr. Sugiki. “Today, thanks to KOMTRAX™ data, clear signs of increased machine activity are being detected in the European market area”. He added: “Komatsu is one of the best-performing companies in the equipment supply business and we are now ready to fight back”. For Komatsu, the Bauma international fair was a great success. It exceeded all expectations and placed a very positive mark on the year 2010.

Komatsu PC350 LC-8 LR prepares site in Shetland Islands for natural gas refinery The first PC350 LC-8 LR 17 metre Long Reach machine launched at the Bauma Show this year has gone to work on a site on the Shetland Islands. The long reach 17m excavation boom and arm are purposely designed, following Komatsu’s standards, to provide maximum performance and durability in digging applications with a productive bucket size. It provides a solution that standard excavators simply cannot offer, suitable in a variety of applications from relatively light duty work on waterway maintenance to heavy-duty production work in sand and gravel extraction ,as well as slope stabilization, dredging and road construction applications. The PC350LC-8 LR now joins Komatsu’s well established special product line up, completing the existing the PC600LC8LR 19m machine, as well as a full range of Super Long Fronts ranging from PC600 down to PC 130(working reach of 12.3 m) Like all machines in the Dash 8 range, the PC350LC-8 LR is fitted with Komtrax, Komatsu’s Satellite Monitoring System. Machine data is easily accessible over the internet and allows owners or fleet managers to view the machines location, performance and service requirments. Komtrax can even help secure equipment, and will e-mail the owner or fleet manager when a machine shows a caution alert or if is activated outside an engine lock period. Designed to offer total safety for both the operator and people working around the machine, the PC350LC-8 LR features Komatsu’s unique Rollover cab, specifically developed for hydraulic
excavators. Over €1,000,000 was spent on testing this life saving feature, and the cab’s tubular steel frame protects the operator even if the machine rolls over. Furthermore, to help prevent accidents, the excavator includes a travel alarm, and a rear view camera which all are standard. With a heated air suspension seat, the cab provides a very comfortable and quiet working environment. The operator is only exposed to an amazingly low 68 dB (A) whist in the cab. Standard on the PC350LC-8 LR is the largest colour monitor panel on the market. This ergonomic finger tip controlled operating panel allows easy access to the work modes, cab-climate control and a full colour image from the rear mounted camera. The PC350LC-8 LR also comes standard with Komats’s own automatic grease system, sealed bucket linkage, HCU for tilting bucket attachments and quick coupler piping for convenient and rapid changes of attachments. Sliding proportional joystick buttons, are fitted giving the operator comfortable and accurate control of attachments. The operator can choose between 5 Working Modes to optimise performance and fuel usage, the ECO gauge on the right side of the monitor panel lets him see at a glance just how hard the machine is working. In Economy Mode, and with Komtrax activated, fuel usage can be easily monitored for maximum fuel efficiency and minimum nitrogen oxide(NOx) emissions.

Komatsu America Corp. Demonstrates Its “Green” Hybrid PC200LC-8 Excavator in Los Angeles Machine Surpasses Customer’s Expectations Late in 2009, Komatsu America introduced the first of ten Hybrid PC200LC-8 excavators into the U.S. market to test the innovative equipment that was designed to reduce environmental impact by saving fuel and reducing green house emissions. On March 11, 2010, representatives from Komatsu, along with representatives from the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the office of Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, the contractor Griffith Company, and local Komatsu dealer Savala Equipment Company, Inc.—which has been using a Hybrid PC200LC8—gathered for a demonstration of the hybrid excavator at work at the Port of Los Angeles. The Komatsu hybrid excavator is one of a number of other kinds of “green” machines that the Port of Los Angeles has introduced or tested, resulting in reduced diesel emissions that comply with a Clean Air Action Plan that was adopted in November 2006 by the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Brea-based contractor Griffith Company has seen positive results with the Hybrid PC200LC-8. Dan McGrew, VP of Business Development for the Griffith Company said that they were skeptical at first, but the hybrid excavator “surpassed all expectations while using 30% less fuel.” McGrew noted that the hybrid excavator has a shorter cycle time than a conventional excavator, and concluded that Komatsu’s Hybrid PC200LC-8 is a “fantastic machine.”
There are 700 of Komatsu's hybrid excavators already in use at construction sites in China and Japan. "Komatsu's decision to apply its engineering excellence to the largest construction machine segment clearly signals our commitment to developing environment-friendly equipment," said Dave Grzelak, chairman and CEO of Komatsu America Corp. Powered by the Komatsu Hybrid System, the Hybrid PC200LC-8 uses a newly developed electric swing motor, power generator motor, capacitor and diesel engine. Komatsu developed its revolutionary hybrid system to work on the principle of swing energy regeneration and energy storage using the Komatsu Ultra Capacitor system. Komatsu’s Ultra Capacitors provide fast energy storage and instantaneous power transmission. In tests comparing the standard PC200LC-8 hydraulic excavator to the Hybrid PC200LC-8, the hybrid model reduced fuel consumption by approximately 25-40%, depending on the application.

New generation of Kleemann Impact Crushers put to the test
Series production of the new MR 110 EVO and MR 130 EVO starts with several months of extensive testing and various prototypes successfully behind it. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, as they say. And the question on everybody‘s lips for a brand new design is whether or not its practical use will confirm that which was developed in theory. After approximately one and a half years under development, the first prototype was put to the test in late summer of 2009. And initial results have already impressively shown that the entire concept is spot-on. Right from the very start, the smaller of the two plants, the MR 110 EVO, was able to achieve a maximum feed capacity of 350 t/h without a problem. Initial tests confirm that extremely high continuous output is possible The first tests were carried out at a recycling centre located near to Kleemann‘s headquarters

in Göppingen, Germany. The charged material was made up of mixed demolished concrete from demolition waste, initially containing relatively low amounts of ferrous material. Feed sizes generally remained below 600 mm. When they occasionally exceeded this, however, not once did it pose a problem for the adjustable, remote-controlled cover at the crusher inlet. The most varied of materials were experimented with over the course of the first test phase, which often included demolition waste containing high levels of ferrous material to push the technology to its limit. The results were very promising: The plant was able to maintain the high performance values even at continuous output. It soon became apparent that, thanks to the new material flow concept, wear and tear at important points such as rotor ledges or the discharge conveyor belt could be considerably reduced. And, of course, any additional problems that emerged were also recognised and successfully rectified.
McHALE PLANT SALES NEWS Issue 6 Winter 2010
It was important for the plants to be tested by different customers or operators in order to gather a varied selection of feedback for the new operating concept. This also guaranteed that a wide range of charged material was crushed during the test phases. Cold testing conditions at times One of the test stations was a company in the Allgäu region in Southern Germany. Here, the plant was again put through its paces for the most varied of applications and, thanks to a fairly severe winter with temperatures reaching as low as -23 degrees, also tested under genuinely cold conditions. First, there were several thousand tons of gravel broken, then slabs of asphalt were processed, followed by reinforced concrete with larger and smaller pollution ratios. Feed capacities of 350 t/h were consistently achieved over longer periods of time and were even occasionally exceeded.
The larger plant from the new series, the MR 130 EVO, was also comprehensively tested. As
operation of this prototype took place some time later, the experience gained from testing the MR 110 could be implemented and any „teething problems“ avoided from the outset. And here, too, the potential of these machines was immediately apparent. A maximum feed capacity of 450 t/h was quickly realised and, at times, considerably exceeded. During the first test, for example, the MR 130 prototype proved to be significantly faster in asphalt recycling than originally planned. Test conclusion: The concept works! Enormous capability with significantly greater economic efficiency These extensive testing procedures, which included all possible plant applications in use today (in one case even slag was processed), confirmed what had been proven in theory. The two plants are both cost-effective and resistant to wear; the new material concept not only effectively allows for better performance but also increased durability. Longer service life, together with an extremely efficient direct drive, lead to noticeable savings in operation costs. All in all, a major success for Kleemann.

McCloskey International were so confident of selling the two new models of screeners that it brought to the Bauma Show that it only booked one-way tickets for them from Northern Ireland!
The S80 has been bought by Abfalter and will be put to work in a gravel pit in southern Germany, although it could also be used for the company’s road construction and recycling operations.
The confidence was justified as both the S80 and the R70 now have new owners who took them home after the show .Neither buyer had been in touch with the company or its German dealer, Apex-Lieben Crush & Screentec, prior to the show but both were impressed when they saw them on the stand. They both took advantage of special show prices to make a decision straight away.
The R70 is also staying in Germany. It has been bought by a recycling business and is intended for use in the company’s yard as well as out on sites.

McHALE PLANT SALES NEWS Issue 6 Winter 2010
So, why should I buy Genuine Filters? Manufacturers are always telling customers they should buy genuine products for their construction and mining equipment, rather than various "will-fit" parts and components. Even where manufacture and supply of certain parts and components is outsourced to third-party suppliers, you will generally find that the OEM has specified certain proprietary features in those parts which bear its brand-name. Genuine filters have been specifically designed by the manufacturer to give the best performance and reliability. Certainly, manufacturers could be accused of having a vested interest in getting customers to buy genuine, but there is something in this for the customer as well: improved performance, reliability and overall life of your equipment. This is because genuine parts and components have been `specced up` by the manufacturer to best meet the performance needs of the machine. Even where manufacture and supply of certain parts and components is outsourced to third-party suppliers, you will generally find that the OEM has specified certain proprietary features in those parts which bear its brandname.
Take the example of filters. Genuine Komatsu filters have been developed as a result of thorough and repeated tests when installed on the machine from all angles of filtering efficiency and durability. Komatsu-branded filters are designed to take into consideration factors such as horsepower, oil pressure, oil temperature and types of oil used in Komatsu engines. In addition, the filtering area of Komatsu genuine filters is larger than that on imitation products, thereby adding to the dependability and reliability of your machine. Now let`s look at the properties of specific filters. Fuel filters: Fuel contains impurities such as dirt, water and rust. The fuel acts as a lubricant to vital parts such as pumps and injectors. Genuine Komatsu fuel filters provide excellent filtering performance to help reduce repair costs to your machine. Hydraulic filters: Hydraulic system and transmission repairs are arguably the single most expensive part any repair bill. Komatsu hydraulic filters offer excellent heat and pressure resistance, combined with outstanding filtration characteristics -- and are
designed specifically for use with Komatsu hydraulic components. Air filters: Komatsu air filters feature a specially treated filtration medium. This medium, developed by Komatsu over many years for its own range of equipment, guarantees greater protection from dust and other airborne contaminants. Coolant filters: Scale and dirt in the cooling system collects a places where water flow is minimal, reducing the cooling effect. Komatsu corrosion filters not only filter damage causing particles but also release Komatsu`s own specially formulated chemicals into a machine`s cooling system.
Please contact our Service Department for more information
Birdhill Co. Tipperary Tel: 061 379112
Finally, it`s often thought that buying non-genuine parts and components will save you money. Compare Komatsu genuine filter prices with others on the market, and you`ll find they compare very favourably in price -- plus the added performance and reliability of your machine can easily make them a less expensive proposition in the long run. We`ve talked here a lot about filters -- but many of these comments are equally applicable to a wide range of parts and components where you have a choice between genuine and non-genuine.
