Creation history
Manufacturers of the excavator “EO-2621” is not one, but several. Since 1967 these devices have been produced at “Chervony Excavator” plant (Rother Bagger) in Kiev and at “Zlatous” excavator (nowadays “Zlatex” Ltd.) in Shchelyabinsk region. And since 1974, also in Kyiv region – at Borodyansk excavator (nowadays – JSC “Borex”).
In addition, the production of this technique was established at a number of machine-building enterprises of GUS. Progenitors of this multipurpose earthmoving machine were quick-hitching hydraulic excavators E-201, which were based on the Soviet tractors: the Lipetsk T-30 and Minsk MTZ-2 “Belarus”. And later – its improved version “E-221”.
This equipment in its turn became the sequel of the first in the Soviet Union serial hydraulic excavator designed by the All-Russian Research Institute “Stroydormash” – rotary excavator E-153, created on the basis of MTZ-2 “Belarus” tractor. The manufacturer of this extremely necessary for the national economy equipment was the Kiev plant “Krasny Sackschnik”. Each of these models was designed for various agricultural and loading processes of medium and small volumes. And each was a new step forward, the embodiment of a number of improvements. Trenching depth, bottom cutting power and bucket angle were all increased. An indication of the then high demand of the Soviet Union for this equipment is that entire factories were converted into excavator factories to produce exclusively the above models. Especially engine repairs in Saransk; Or plans for a large shop at the Zlatoust Mechanical Plant, which was henceforth planned as Saransk Excavator Plant, or plans to be.
A direct predecessor of the EO-2621 was the excavator E-2515, which was equipped with a rear blade with a capacity of 0.25 m3 in the basic version; The greatest depth of the trench was 3 m; Height of removal – 2.6 m; Productivity – 45-60 m3 per hour. This was far superior to all previous production models of hip excavators. At the beginning of the 1970s, the growing Kiev city had already included the “Red Excavator” plant, which was surrounded by residential areas. There was no place to build new workshops, and they were built in the Kiev village of Borodyanka. As a result, the production of mounted excavator systems for tractors was completely transferred there.
A few years later, Kiev and Zlatoust were joined by Saransk, where the production of EO 2621 series was also established. Up to “perestroika” and the collapse of the Soviet Union, more than twenty thousand units of this equipment were produced annually. These volumes not only covered the needs of the domestic market, but also allowed exporting excavators EO-2621 to 38 countries.
Excellent performance characteristics, low cost of production and use, reliability and perfection made EA-2621 the main tractor-based mounted excavator and the most popular in the world. This model is still produced in the modification “EO 2621B-3” and is still stable on the market due to its low cost and reliability. Although the former production volumes are of course not discussed.

engine
The excavator EO 2621 is equipped with a diesel engine DT-65N with an output of 65 hp. The excavator is equipped with a mechanical zero-speed gear with a pinion gear, which doubles its number. Totally EO-2621 has 17 front and 4 rear gears.
This excavator model is characterized by worm-type steering, supplemented by a hydraulic booster. The advanced hydraulic section of the latest model EO 2621B-3 has anti-shock miles “Hydrocontrol” and built-in fuses, which can easily combine operations and improve accuracy of work.
Fuel consumption
The engine of the excavator EO-2621, which makes the whole structure work, is designed for 65 hp. And depending on the load it consumes from 5.5 to 12 liters per hour. With a full fuel tank capacity of 100 liters, this reserve is enough for a whole working shift without any problems.
Hydraulic system
The design has two independent hydraulic systems, but with a single tank for the working fluid. The first hydraulic system drives the working equipment from three gear pumps type NSh32-3, the liquid through the distributor is supplied to the hydraulic cylinders of the bucket, boom and manipulator. The second system supplies hydraulic fluid from the pump through the distributor to the boom hydraulic cylinder, hydraulic cylinders of the steering mechanism, and through the distributor of the tractor to the outrigger hydraulic cylinder and the bulldozer hydraulic cylinder.
All pumps are driven by gears from the tractor diesel engine crankshaft. In order to limit pressure in closed hydraulic cylinder piston chamber during digging, there is a special bypass valve, which diverts liquid to hydraulic cylinder rod cavity and surplus of liquid to the tank. A check valve compensates for fluid loss in the hydraulic cylinders rod cavities. Smooth braking at the end of the turn is provided by special damping devices installed in the hydraulic cylinder caps.
Boom of excavator EO-2621
The excavator boom of the bucket is mounted in the base of the swinging column. Such a design allows to use it not only as a straight and swivel shovel, but also to swivel the tool by an angle of up to 160 degrees.
