    Bulldozer or Dozer

    Uploaded by

    Suit Chetri
    A bulldozer or dozer has a tractor with a chassis, cabin, and hydraulic system to control a front-mounted blade and rear-mounted rippers or scarifiers. Dozers are used to cut, push, and move material short distances and for tasks like land clearing, stripping, ditching, and digging. Dozer blades come in straight, universal, and combination styles for pushing or grading materials. Dozers also have rear-mounted rippers to break up hard surfaces. Rippers can be single, multi-shank, towed, integrated, or mounted on the dozer blade for various ripping applications.

    Bulldozer or dozer

    Main components of dozer


    • Tractor :Chassis and cabin
    • A frame mounted unit a blade in front of
    tractor
    • Rear mounted rippers or scarifiers
    • Hydraulic system to control the movement of
    front frame with blade and rear rippers
    Dozers are mainly used for cutting and pushing
    the material for short distances up to 100m.
    Types of dozer
    1. Dozer or bulldozer : blade is perpendicular to the
    direction of travel of dozer
    2. Angle dozer : blade is set at an angle (250 )
    with the direction of travel of dozer
    3. Tilt dozer: blade is tilted by raising one end up to
    25 cm above the other.(ditching)
    4. Push dozer :used push plate for pushing the
    scraper unit during digging and loading operation
    5. Tree dozer : used for removing trees
    Types of dozer
    • Types of dozer according to their mountings
    1. Crawler tractor mounted
    2. Wheel tractor mounted
    • Types of dozer based on method of raising and
    lowering the blades:
    1. Cable controlled
    2. Hydraulic controlled
    Wheel dozer
    Crawler dozer
    Application of dozer
    1. Land clearing : removing soil,trees,vegetation
    2. Stripping: removal of top soil
    3. Side hill cut:
    4. Back filling: fill trench,ditch,
    5. Ditching: rough ditch
    6. Spreading
    7. Dozing rocks and frozen ground: remove rocks and
    maintain haul roads, clearing floors
    8. Digging
    9. Breaking pile
    Biggest Dozer capacity
    • Engine power : 574 KW
    • Weight of bulldozer:93 tons
    • Capacity of blade : 32 cubic meter
    • Ripper : single , 4 operating position
    • Digging depth of ripper: 1.8m with a force of
    26 tons
    •
    Dozer blade or mould board
    • Is heavy blade having slightly concave profile
    attached in the front of tractor
    • Blade is connected to tractor with the help of
    two arms and a yoke
    • Blade has a replaceable cutting edge
    • Blade is controlled by hydraulic actuator or
    cylinder.
    • Sizes of blade are: wide: 2-7.5 m and height: 0.8-
    1.5 m
    Types of dozer blade
    :A straight blade ("S blade") which is short and has no
    lateral curve and no side wings and can be used for
    fine grading and moved heavy matetials.
    • A universal blade ("U blade") which is tall and very
    curved, and has large side wings to carry more
    material over longer distances.
    • An "S-U" combination blade which is shorter, has
    less curvature, and smaller side wings. This blade is
    typically used for pushing piles of large rocks, such as
    at a quarry. (WIKIPEDIA)
    Types of blades for special applications
    1. Angle blade :cutting ditch, back filling
    2. Special application U-blade: move high volume of
    light and non cohesive material: coal, wood chips etc
    3. Land fill blade : fill material
    4. Clearing blade: cut tree, pile vegetation and drainage
    ditches
    5. V-blade: Shear trees, stumps and brushes at ground
    level
    6. Rack : clearing small stumps, toots or rocks
    Special blade
    a. u-blade b. Straight blade c. angle blade d.
    special application U-blade e. Land field
    blade f. clearing blade g. V-blade h. rack
    Dozer blade
    Dozer ripper
    Dozer rippers
    The ripper is the long claw-like device on the back
    of the bulldozer. It is made up shank, adaptor,
    tip and protector.
    Rippers are used to break or fractured hard
    material into small pieces
    Rippers can come as a single (single shank/giant
    ripper) or in groups of two or more (multi shank
    rippers). Usually, a single shank is preferred for
    heavy ripping
    Types of rippers
    1. Single shank ripper: for breaking hard material
    2. Multi-shank ripper : for ripping easy
    penetrated and fractured material
    Types of ripper according mounting:
    3. Towed units : generally cable operated
    4. Integrated units : hydraulically operated
    5. Back ripper : mount on dozer blade or pivot in
    the mounting brackets
    Types of rippers
    Types of integral rippers:
    a. Hinge rippers
    b. Parallelogram ripper
    Types of rippers
    1. Fixed multiple shank ripper: simple ripping operation;
    up and down movement during digging operation
    2. Variable multiple shank ripper :enable to change the
    angle of its shank with the help of tilt hydraulic
    cylinder; used where the quality of rock is not
    consistent.
    3. Fixed giant ripper : single powerful shank
    4. Variable giant rippers: Single powerful shank having
    tilt hydraulic cylinder.
