ECO-Delta
- the system ECO-Delta is a symbiosis between chassis, refuse collection body and lifter.
- via a special control and in conjunction with a large-volume hydraulic pump the lifter is driven at idle speed of the chassis (650-680 rpm/min.). The waste containers can be emptied in 6 to 8 seconds (depending on container size). When using a conventional refuse collection vehicle, the engine must accelerate to about 900 rpm/min to achieve the same work performance. This results in increased fuel consumption.
. - with the ECO-Delta controller the compaction unit is only switched on after four container emptying cycles (120/240 L). The engine speed is increased only when the compaction unit is in operation so that the hopper can be emptied quickly.
- to further increase the efficiency during the collection tour the 6 km / h control from the chassis must be activated.
- thus, the compaction unit can be used to empty the hopper in this speed range, on arrival and departure of the collection point. This ensures that the hopper is emptied before the next lifter operation.
- thanks to this technical solution, the fuel consumption and the noise emission can be reduced.
