Sany SY215C8M overview

Sany SY215C8M features overview

Maintainability

The fittings originally imported and components of superior quality have longer maintenance cycles. The remote assembly of wearing parts is realized so that the maintenance is more convenient, thus enhancing the utilization rate of the machine and lowering the maintenance costs.


Structure

The working platform, undercarriage, and fittings are of excellent mechanical property, and the cutting teeth are of favorable wearability, ensuring that the machine is solid and durable even under the most harsh conditions.


Engine

New Features

For its excellent operation efficiency and low energy consumption, SANY excavator has won the favor of market. It has optimized the overall configuration and adopted the imported engine and electric control positive flow hydraulic system of world renowned brands. Applying the advanced intelligent electric control system, it achieves integrated control of the power, hydraulic and electric systems, with much better energy-saving performance and higher operation efficiency.


Power System

With the Mitsubishi engine originally imported, the powerful power system is of low fuel consumption, clear emission and low noise, so that it can provide power guarantee for high-efficiency operation of the excavator.


Hydraulic System

Applying the most advanced and mature positive flow hydraulic control system in the world, the system is stable and of high operating performance and efficiency. The hydraulic elements are of world-famous brand. The most advanced positive control hydraulic system is of better stability and operability, ensuring constantly high operation efficiency for SANY excavators. With the double-pump and dual-circuit control system with constant power, the diesel power can be fully exerted. With the electric control positive flow control system, the operation performance is optimized and the power loss is reduced.


Control System

The newly adopted controller conducting electric and hydraulic control over the whole machine can achieve real-time match of engine power and hydraulic pump power, thus enhancing productivity and lessening fuel consumption. This also realizes the computer dynamic follow-up control over the outer load power by the maximum output, thus achieving optimal control over the overall load operating system of excavator.


Optimized Power Control

The engine has 4 power modes, which can be switched on the display according to different working conditions, and hence maximizing the operation efficiency and reducing the fuel consumption.


Electronic Control Module

The electric control module is capable of making quick response to change of work variants to obtain optimum engine efficiency. It is fully integrated with the sensors of fuel, engine oil, air intake, coolant and exhaust systems to conduct the real-time monitoring and auto adjustment on the system states and hence ensuring that the engine won’t overload, while the excavator works with full load. Meanwhile, it realizes the auto idling function so that the operator can accurately master the machine states and effectively prevent the occurrence of malfunctions.


Engine Control System

The controller of the engine system drives the accelerator motor directly by the signal reflection of the accelerator sensor. Four working modes can be selected by the driver according to the actual operation conditions. The engine can create ideal power according to the system running. The KNE-KDSS allows the speed to be changed when turning the button clockwise or speeding up the engine, while the noise is lowered. When restarting work, the engine can go back to the previous power.


Low Noise and Little Vibration

The matching of the engine and silencer in a rational way lowers the noise in exhaust emission. The engine room insulated with noise-absorbing material can effectively reduce noise. The optimized driving system achieves better stability for the machine and enhances the comfort for operator.


Hydraulic and electronic system

Three-Stage Fuel Filtering

The fuel coarse filter, fine filter and oil-water separator of large capacity improves the fuel quality, reduces the early abrasion of injection pump and nozzle and prolongs the service life of the engine.


Three-Stage Air Cleaning

Equipped with air pre-cleaner and dual air filtering core, the three-stage cleaning ensures that there are sufficient clean air flowing in, hence reducing the abrasion of cylinder parts. It is suitable especially for hard working environment full of dust, wind and sand.


Hydraulic Components

The main pump, main valve, slewing mechanism, traveling mechanism and pilot control valve are of superior quality and originally imported.


The Boom and Arm Retention System

The maintaining valve on the main control valve is used to prevent the boom and arm sinkage caused by gravity, this enhances the safety and reliability of the machine.


Arm Power Regenerative Circuit

A quick circuit is added to the arm oil cylinder circuit. When the arm oil cylinder pushes out, the hydraulic oil return of the rod side is cut off and it flows into the side without rod, therefore accelerating the move speed of the arm and the power was saved.


Hydraulic Damping Device of Traveling Pilot Valve

When moving and stopping the machine, the traveling hydraulic damping device works and absorbs the vibration of the traveling hydraulic system and hence improve the operator's comfort.


Hydraulic Oil Cylinder Buffer

The cushion valve is set both at the boom cylinders of the oil and in the two sides of the arm oil cylinder in order to absorb the energy of the impact of the piston and the cylinder body, with prolonged service life and lower noise.


Hydraulic Pilot Lock

The control handle will not work when the hydraulic pilot lock lever is at the locking position. Therefore, the possible accidents in consequence of inadvertent operation will be avoided.


Splash-proof Distance Plate

In the middle of pump chamber and engine lays the distance plate, which prevents the oil from splashing to the hot position of engine if the hydraulic system is damaged.


Cab

Cab

It is very quiet in the cab when operating the machine. The all-directionally adjustable seat of superior quality is very comfortable; the joystick and operation buttons are within your reach, making it labor-saving and convenient. With the air reversed flow type air-conditioner, you can enjoy the most pleasant temperature.


Overheating Protection

When the cooling water reaches a certain temperature, the travel speed is limited. If the cooling water sends a signal of alarming, the diesel will automatically enter into the idling work state until the temperature of the coolant drops to normal.


Strengthened Transparent Anti-ultraviolet Glass

When there is intense light, the light-color glass effectively abates the entry of ultraviolet rays, relieves the visual fatigue of the operator, and enables the operator to see the working object more easily.


Equipment

Safety

The details of SANY excavators embody the human-centric design conception. Addition of guard device minimizes the possibility of injuries.


Fan Cover

The engine radiator fan are enclosed by the thin iron wire net, which lessens the overhaul danger and prevents fan blades' damage in case of other objects' downfall.


High-strength Top Guard Plate

As an integration of the thick high-strength steel plate and the reinforced bar, the top guard plate is made by stamping. It bears excellent collision resistance and seldom gets deformed. Under the working condition of falling rubbles, the top plate will secure the operator. The optional OPG top guard plate and the rear window protection net are the optimal choice for high-altitude working against falling objects.
