The Case CX700 and CX330 Excavators
Case, a reputable manufacturing company in the construction industry, has worked their expertise again by introducing a new model and upgrading a model. The new Case CX700 has a weight of 70 metric tons, which brings a new sized model to Cases production. This new model, the Case CX700, is an in between model; and, for comparison purposes, it will fit between the model Case CX460 and Case CX800. Case has utilized Tier 3 technologies in order to bring an upgrade to the Case CX330 model excavator. The upgrade has increased the power and improved the fuel system, making it economically efficient, and, if that was not enough, Case added new features that aim to enhance comfort and simplify maintenance for the operator. Packing Power The new Case CX700 excavator is packed full of power and high performance because of its fuel-efficient Isuzu engine, which is Tier 3 certified. It has an operating weight of 153,400 pounds and 400 HP, making the Case CX700 capable of digging to depths of 31 feet and 11 inches, and a reach of about 46 feet and 11 inches. The frame of the Case CX700 excavator was modeled after the larger Case CX800, which ensures its optimum strength, durability, and reliability for the powerful performance specs this machine calls for. This new model, Case CX700, has a switch that allows the operator to manage the priorities of either the boom or the swing functions. It also has a retractable side frame with a counterweight removal device that is optional, and this will make transporting even easier. Durability As already noted, it is the powerful Isuzu engine in the Case CX700 that makes it so durable, but more over, the Isuzu engine is fully electronic and utilizes a high-pressure rail system. This will provide a 5% increase to the HP, and that will give the excavator 10% more fuel economy, making it more efficient in the long run. There have also been several enhancements made to the Case CX330 excavator model, which has improved its durability. These enhancements to the Case CX330 have helped the reliability of this machinery, including more strength to the front idler from increasing the thickness and changing the design of the center hub, and improving upon the track seals design. All these upgrades and improvements to the Case CX330 allow it to stand up better to wear and tear. Upgrade Features An important factor that goes into the Case excavators is that many of the models offer upgrade features. In other words, you are able to incorporate several of the standard features that come with the Case CX700 as upgrades for the Case CX330, and they can also be applied to some of the other larger Case excavators. One important upgrade is the improved ease of maintenance and servicing. Both Case excavator models, Case CX330 and Case CX700, have an easy maintenance system that includes a lubricated brushing all throughout the boom and arm, and this provided an extended lubrication period for well up to 1,000 hours. There have been changes to the way the engine oil filters are mounted. They are now mounted vertically within the pump house access area, and this will allow ease of access for servicing purposes. Also, there has been an addition of a modified type of oil drain plug and check valve, which will go a long way to making it even easier to change the oil. The two excavator models offer finer fuel filtration and up to four microns, and this will increase uptime while improving fuel performance. With a piece of machinery that is utilized in hefty construction projects, it is essential that it has a quality cooling system, and the cooling system features are designed to reduce having to stack the coolers. This upgraded cooling system has better efficiency and has improved the ease of debris removal. The Case CX700 also has a hydraulically driven feature, thermostatic controlled reversible fan that works to improve the cooling of the engine, and it easily cleans out the debris, making this model more efficient.
