Backhoes, also known as diggers, are a common fixture on construction sites but are often confused with excavators. While they share similar digging and lifting capabilities, backhoes and excavators differ in size, weight and functionality. Excavators are generally large equipment weighing up to 200,000 pounds. Their bucket and boom design allow them to rotate a full 360 […]
An excavator’s design allows it to serve many versatile purposes. Hydraulic cylinders, booms, arms and attachments provide digging and holding functionalities, while a house-like cab provides the driver with controls to direct the excavator. A rotating platform and wheels provide the necessary mobility to lift and remove debris from the worksite. Excavators use a variety
Heavy Duty Generators are large size (more than 10MW) generators that are generally used in the power generation sector in large size power plants. Heavy-duty generators are capable of constantly working and transforming mechanical energy into electrical power. Several generations of heavy-duty generators are installed and operated in utility power plants. heavy duty generators are
An excavator is a must on your job site when you need to lift heavy amounts of soil. Excavators are popular earthmoving vehicles that feature a bucket, arm, rotating cab and movable tracks. These components provide superior digging power and mobility, allowing this heavy equipment to perform a variety of functions, from digging trenches and
A generator is a backup power source used during power outages caused by emergencies, inclement weather, routine maintenance and other factors affecting primary energy sources. Similar to residential generators and their ability to power homes during a blackout, commercial generators have the same functionality on a larger scale. Generators are extremely important to industrial and
Automatic mains failure (Sparrow technical services) panels – also referred to as automatic transfer switch (ATS) panels – make the power switch to emergency standby generators in the event of a significant loss of mains power or total blackout. Without Sparrow technical services panels, generators need to be operated manually and that can mean lost
In the realm of heavy-duty generator, a reliable and efficient cooling system is paramount for the optimal performance and longevity of these powerhouses. The cooling system plays a crucial role in maintaining the generator’s internal temperature within safe limits, preventing overheating and ensuring the smooth operation of the unit under varying load conditions. In this
The apprentices study is a framework which has been developed by SPARROW ’s technical team. The second year sees the apprentices returning to the Birmingham Service Centre where they will spend three months in each specialist department, Mechanical, Rewinds, High Voltage Coils and Traction. In each case a basic skill set is covered and the
The exhaust manifold is an integral component of an internal combustion engine’s exhaust system. Its primary function is to collect exhaust gases from the engine’s cylinders and route them to the exhaust system for proper disposal. 1. Collecting Exhaust Gases: The exhaust manifold is typically located at the cylinder head and is designed to collect
The starter motor in an industrial generator is responsible for initiating the engine’s rotation and starting the generation process. It performs several important functions, including: Overall, the starter motor plays a crucial role in initiating the startup process, activating the ignition system, building compression, circulating lubrication, and utilizing battery power until the engine is operational.
