Design and operating functions
Zoomlion ZD320-3 has a sturdy frame-based structure with additional reinforcement. The bulldozer mass system is built according to the standard scheme with a semi-conductor suspension supplemented with a balance beam.
Chassis characteristics:
- Number of track rollers – 7;
- Number of track rollers – 2;
- Number of guide rails – 1;
- Number of shoes – 41.
Only high strength is used in the production of tracks and rollers, which positively affects the service life of the chassis. Caterpillars have a set structure with one tooth and are easy to maintain. Components and parts from different manufacturers can be used in the body, which will facilitate the repair process.
Zumlion ZD320-3 has a rather large size and weight, while the bulldozer is easy to control. This is due to the use of modern gearbox with a planetary reduction gear. The technique can move in a range of 6 speeds:
- 1-3 front speed from 0 to 11.5 km/h;
- 1-3 reverse speeds from 0 to 13.5 km/h.
The transmission contains the following main units:
- 3-piece torque converter with 1 phase, 1 stage and water cooling;
- Planetary sump with gearbox (hydraulic control, multi-disc clutch);
- Hypoid gearwheel with splash lubrication (gearbox center shaft);
- Blade-type wet brake;
- wet clutch with pressure spring and manual control (on-board – friction).
Changing the position of the equipment takes place without sudden jerks and extremely clearly. Similar movement is provided by hydraulic system with 335,5 l/min. gear pump. The system pressure is 14 MPa. The control valve is of the slide valve type. Unlike other models, the Zoomlion ZD320-3 is used with a less wide range of devices.
The bulldozer has an interesting design, which, in addition to external beauty, is incredibly ergonomic. The hexagonal cab has an optimized shape for excellent visibility in all directions. It freely accommodates 1 person. Advanced materials with high noise and vibration insulation are used for the interior. This makes the operator feel very comfortable in the cabin. Extra comfort is provided by the cushioned seat with the ability to shift forward and back. Inside, there are several compartments for belongings. For use in Russian conditions, the cab has an air conditioning system and mechanisms to maintain a constant temperature (heating and air conditioning) in any conditions. Controls are conveniently located, allowing the operator to work in comfort.
Another feature of the Zumlion ZD320-3 model is intelligent systems, which are mechanisms for controlling the work of nodes of the machine and displaying all the information necessary for the operator.
The bulldozer is easy to operate and additionally adapted to Russian conditions. In terms of performance and reliability Zoomlion ZD320-3 is close to the Komatsu D155A, but much more affordable. In this case, most parts of the model are interchangeable with parts from Shantui and Komatsu bulldozers. Therefore, it is easy to find a replacement in case of failure.
Equipment maintenance is simplified by the rational location of service stations and the availability of advanced support from the supplier. There are several service stations on the territory of Russia that can service bulldozers in a specialized center or in the field.
