Hyundai’s R215L SMART PLUS Excavator

The Hyundai R215L SMART PLUS mining crawler excavator boasts a powerful Cummins engine, an advanced CAPO system, hydraulic flow summation, and an energy regeneration system, enabling a strong digging force. Hyundai R215L has become India’s top-selling excavator due to its advanced technology, comfort, and fuel efficiency. 

This excavator also features a 5.68m boom, a 2.4m arm, and a maximum digging depth of 6220 mm. It has a typical bucket capacity of 1.05 cubic meters with attachments like a rockbreaker, clamshell bucket, quick coupler and grapple. It is also fitted with state-of-the-art technology, such as a Hi-track (remote monitoring system) and an auto-idle system, which boosts the machine’s safety, productivity, and efficiency.

• Performance

Powerful Engine: The Cummins 6BTAA5.9C engine produces 148 horsepower @ 2000 rpm. It is fine-tuned to consume less fuel and emits low noise.  

Arm Regeneration: The arm regeneration system recycles hydraulic energy to improve arm operation and machine performance by minimising cavitation.

Digital Cluster: The digital cluster displays crucial information such as engine RPM, fuel level, oil pressure, coolant temperature, maintenance,  errors and operation data. It also provides information on the excavator’s work modes, such as Power, Standard & Economy mode, Separate Breaker mode, & User mode. 

High-Bucket Digging Forces: It has a high breakout force, a feature that is essential when working with hard or compact materials such as rock, concrete, and clay. Additionally, the excavator has high digging forces, which allow it to dig deeper and faster. 

Eco Mode: The Eco-mode automatically adjusts the engine and hydraulic system to operate optimally, reducing fuel consumption and emissions while maintaining performance. This feature can be activated when the excavator is not used for heavy work and helps reduce operating costs.

• Efficiency

One-Touch & Auto-Idle: A deceleration switch with a single touch saves fuel. Moreover, the Auto Idle function lowers fuel usage and operating costs.

Charge Air Cooler System: The turbocharger’s air conditioning system improves power production and fuel efficiency.

Comfort: The air-conditioned cabin, with seven-level adjustable seats and soft joystick control, provides a comfortable working environment and greater operator efficiency.

Exclusive Breaker Mode: Breaker Mode optimises the rock breaker’s energy requirements, delivering maximum output and low fuel consumption.

CMCU: CMCU (Central Monitoring and Control Unit) is a computerised system that allows the operator to monitor the excavator’s performance in real time. It also enables the operator to adjust the excavator’s settings and optimise performance and efficiency.

• Durability

Strong Boom & Arm: The high-tensile steel boom and arm are reinforced with steel bearings and internal baffle plates to maximise impact strength.

Forged Ring Body: The forged ring body of the bottom frame boosts the machine’s durability, structural integrity, and life.

Heavy Duty Undercarriage: Side member reinforcement protects the idler from harm in uneven terrains, and a heavy-duty track shoe provides additional stability and durability.

Reinforced Bucket Linkage: The control link is constructed from a single piece of metal, offering maximum durability and digging force.

• Safety

Engine Overheat Prevention: This feature monitors coolant temperature and adjusts engine speed automatically on overheating to prevent it from failing in the middle of a job.

Counterbalance & Holding Valve: When there is a longer overhang, the counterbalance valve inhibits roll-down, and the holding valve secures attachments to prevent drift.

Anti-Restart System: In case the operator accidentally switches on the key during engine operations, this function prevents the starter from restarting, saving the engine from getting damaged.

Warning Lamps: To maintain safe levels of the components, warning lamps in the display cluster inform the operator about the temperature of the hydraulic oil, engine coolant, etc.

Hi-Track: Hi-Track, a remote management system, enables information about machine operations and maintenance at the push of a button for improved productivity and easy monitoring.
