The patent in which all machines are designed from is of a broad nature allowing product change not yet seen in this type equipment in Australia. For example wet material would need a large opening to expel its load and a smaller carrying area, this would be archived by simply moving the blade mounting place back the required distance to open the gap between apron & the bowl ejecting such material that is generally when wet, larger in size heavier and steeper angled ejecting can help. Plus side up with this patent: · 2 of 3 rams are closed for ejecting actuation. · Only 3 rams total on all products · Because of a single ram actuating in this patent for each function this will alleviate laser grading problems that will be accentuated when driverless machines come on line, (currently operators are overriding these problems using ground speed & anticipation.) Rams always actuate faster in the direction a load is placed on it, additional rams placed on each side of the actuating ram equalising some of the load with sophisticated hydraulics, like a cushion hitch. This can help reduce the effects of the load, while providing added protection when if ram failure occurs. |

Saving areas considered Hydraulic cylinder actuation · Saving areas considered are 50% reduction hydraulic cylinders. In hydraulic hosing most likely 70% or more, the Dugong Series has its cylinders placed at the front of the scraper not at the rear or sides. Because of its single hydraulic cylinder and short hose length this results in a reduction in the amount of fluid allowed to move within the oil lines when in normal operation. When the oil is returning to the tank and the cooling system it contains less heat and volume increasing fluid life. |

Franks Final Grade
An innovation not yet available anywhere else in the world. To be made in many sizes only one available as yet, this innovation has seen half of the hydraulic rams removed, changing forever the way in which a Grader Scraper can move, producing a unique Grade or finish no other machine could reproduce. Many other hydraulic ideas have been addressed to give one simple machine capable of doing the same thing from 30 hp 800 hp. Three hydraulic rams total, one for each function of the Dugong Series Grader Scraper. Raise & lower Open & Close of Apron or bin door to carry or release material. Tip up & down bin or to gather or empty material. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Grader Scraper platform strong enough to attach farming, horticulture & construction tools to or used as a site ute back come trailer. Check with your engineer and oh&s adviser for more informed question and answer, the load limit is available on web pages & brochures. 1400 / 500 kgs .....2200 / to be advised........3000 / to be advised.........3500 / to be advised......4000 / to be advised.......5000 / to be advised --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Simple wearing bolt up changeable parts, laser cut using international steel standards for local business dealings with a choice of cutting house & repairer. Quality as is new when replacing well know wearing parts bring back to life a feeling & as new actuating Grader Scraper. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changeable parts to suit application would be wheels ( sizes, diameter, width, number) / blade ( different shapes, lengths, / thickness will help with wear & change how the material loads & unloads ) / Apron can be arranged to restrict the flow of material to prevent the situation of loading for sake of loading even if the material can not fit in the machine and flows over the side or known as continuous loading. This could put unnecessary stress and significantly reduce the life of all parts & the machine itself. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Although size is an issue when revering to the 1400 Series it does have options like combination or road train format. It's use as a cheaper farm utility or module giving farms the flexibility to purchase dispose cycle distribute machinery about the farm with a greater range or scope. Furthermore with option to be able to do the things bigger machines of this type can do other than the larger faster volume of dirt it still can perform all other duties like plant root work for changes of plant in areas or diseased roots ( blades serrated or fingered would work better here). This model is recommended for irrigation farmers 1-1000 acres for general farm use. Water flow though changes of grade and depth in ditches would be a recommended where applicable to crop or watering technique. Small changes of grade could take place in a bay by bay basis to suit crop, watering, weed, salt and could be done in a winter setting because the machine is smaller it would take just the dry dirt from the top giving a greater range of times and places for work to be done from a farm irrigators point of view controlling ground moister almost at will. A strong frame and place to mount a laser receiver to also though and recommended to place a ute trailer type platform to perform more duties with the scraper platform as well as the rear tow hitch which are all standard equipment on this size. Finally Franks Final Grade also believes moving other equipment to the Grader Scraper platform will reduce the risk of injury by implements being used mostly because of a guard or moving components are further from the operator and as a trailing implement the tractor would give warning of approach for others and a safer on and off the tractor for the operator, prevention of roll over caused by the implement is seen by Franks Final Grade as a balance of the Grader Scraper taking the load rather than linkage.
