What is Chain Trenching Machine

 

 

A chain trenching machine cuts with a digging chain or belt that is driven around a rounded metal frame, or boom. It resembles a giant chainsaw. This type of trencher can cut ground that is too hard to cut with a bucket-type excavator, and can also cut narrow and deep trenches.

 

Benefits of Chain Trenching Machine

Shoveling
Chain trenching machine help in shoveling process in an easy and quick manner. Smaller version ditchers can dig 3 to 4 feet deep.

 

Creating Drainage
Chain trenching machine help in digging several feet soil for creating drainage for sewage runoff or water flowing purpose. Chain trencher works in a quick manner and saves a lot of time spent on the digging process. Also on digging the soil using a portable trencher, you can run irrigation piping underground or sprinkler.

 

Digging For Electrical Wires
Chain trenching machine can be used to dig underground for telecommunication or electrical wires from the power pole to the residence. The trencher's conveyor belt eliminates the excavated materials.

 

Cutting Pavements
Chain trenching machine can be used to cut through pavement, rock, or concrete. Chain trenching machine can be operated on difficult ground conditions and obtain straight, clean, straight. They also work well on joint and patch replacement projects involving streets, highways, and interstates.

 

Snipping Roots
Chain trenching machine, in addition to making rows in the soil and cutting concrete, have a blade that caters as a rotary lawn mower blade and snips roots. While working on a project if the labour encounter roots, upon holding the trencher's chain blade in the desired place and let the blade cut through the roots.

What Is A Chain Trenching Machine Used For?

 

Cutting Pavement
If you need to cut through rock, concrete, or pavement, then a chain trenching machine is probably going to be your best bet. Chain trenching machine have a large, toothed metal wheel on the front that can cut at varying depths through both soft and hard soil as well as rock and concrete. Chain trenching machine also allow you to push excavated materials to the side using spacers and ejectors. These chain trenching machine are ideal for roadway repairs and excavation.
Similarly, chain trenching machine, often referred to as “small rockwheels,” are most often used in urban settings to reduce traffic disturbances while creating mini trenches for laying fiber optic cables.

 

Creating Drainage
If you need to dig a drainage trench to manage water or sewage runoff, then a chain trenching machine can do the job quickly and easily. Chain trenching machine are usually portable and are best for cutting narrow trenches that run between 12 and 36 inches deep.

Chain trenching machine allow you to remove smaller amounts of earth for running irrigation lines underground. The belt wraps around a metal frame, also called a boom, and you can easily adjust it to control the depth of the cut.

 

Digging For Electrical Wires
A chain trenching machine allows you to dig a trench for installing your electrical cables or telecom wires. The chain trenching machine conveyor belt removes the excavated materials, which means that you can spend less time working on the trench and more time tending to the installation of the wires.

 

Piping Work
Very much like using a chain trenching machine to create an underground pathway for your electrical or telecom wires, you can also use a chain trenching machine to dig a space for water and sewage piping. The key is to dig deep enough to protect the pipes — and any humans or animals that may try to reach them.

 

Shoveling
Chain trenching machine, or chain trenching machine, are great for digging trenches that are just 3 to 4 feet deep. If you have a home improvement project that calls for some intense digging, such as an ambitious landscaping project, renting a chain trenching machine will likely be money very well spent, chain trenching machine are lighter and more compact than most other types of chain trenching machine.

 

Snipping Roots
Dealing with thick tree roots can be just as much of a headache as trying to demo rock, concrete, and pavement. Chain trenching machine have a blade on the end that allows them to function a lot like a rotary lawnmower blade, enabling you to slice through roots quickly and easily.
If you encounter roots while working the soil, hold the chain trenching machine chain blade in place while the blade spins. Slowly inch the blade forward and let the blade cut through the roots.

 

Choosing Chain Trenching Machine: 5 Must Ask Questions Before You Trench

How Deep And Wide Will You Be Trenching?
First, evaluate your trench needs. With boom length options ranging from 12” to 48” and 4” to 8” chain widths, you can narrow your selection considerably. Applications vary from irrigation to electrical, so while you may think that a larger machine will accomplish it all, sometimes you can end up cutting too deep into your budget and paying too much if it's only used for smaller applications.
At the same time, selecting a machine that is too small has its own negative repercussions. A machine that's working too hard will create more work for the user and lack overall efficiency, leading to extended time on the job site.

 

Where Will You Be Trenching?
It's important to take your work site into consideration. You don't want to unload your trencher, and gear up for the task at hand, only to find out that the machine doesn't fit. Now you're likely out time and money. For example, if you're trenching for a sprinkler system in a small fenced yard, you are going to want a smaller machine with more maneuverability. Accordingly, in a wider, open area with minimal obstacles, you are free to maneuver a larger machine.

 

What Are The Ground Conditions?
Ground conditions are extremely important. Choosing the correct horsepower, chain type, and drive system can all be affected by the conditions you will be working in. Dry, loose, or loamy soil will require a less aggressive chain and less horsepower.
Weather can also be a contributing factor. Consider a recent rain - wet and muddy soil will likely complicate a job. You may consider a tracked machine for more stability and traction. Or, perhaps a ride on machine if you need more operator comfort.

 

What Is The Project Size?
Consider the difficulty of your project, and the amount of time you expect to spend operating your trencher. While a smaller trencher may get the job done, with greater distances come more time and effort. You may consider upgrading for projects lasting more than a few hours. Additionally, a back-fill blade accessory makes it simple and quick to refill your trench.

 

Tires Or Tracks?
With chain trenching machine offering the added benefits of stability, traction, and performance, they are often a first request. The tracks provide a larger footprint, offering a smoother performing machine and minimizing turf damage.
Consider whether you have the space to operate a chain trenching machine, as well as the capability to transport the machine.

 

Three Chain Trenching Machine Maintenance Tips To Increase Efficiency On Utility Installation Jobs
 

Read the operator manual

The first and most important step when using a chain trenching machine is to make sure you are familiar with the operator manual. The operator manual contains valuable equipment information, such as the general maintenance schedule for the different parts of the machine. Following the operator's manual to adhere to general maintenance schedules can help reduce unexpected and unwanted downtime.

Practice daily maintenance

One of the best ways to keep a chain trenching machine running efficiently is by practicing daily maintenance. Checking your machine daily will ensure that you are replacing parts as needed and extending the life of your machine. Too often, contractors will try to work through minimal equipment damage or wait too long to replace parts, which can lead to premature failure and costly downtime that could have been avoided.
One example of a key maintenance point that should not be missed is to clean the digging chain. If mud, soil or debris is not regularly cleaned out of the chain, it will become stretched and may eventually break, resulting in downtime and costly replacement. Cleaning out the chain can simply be done by using a pressure washer or shovel. You should also make sure to check the chain trenching machine teeth daily. If the carbide tip on the tooth is fractured, cracked or missing, it should be immediately replaced with a new tooth to protect the chain and increase efficiency. In addition to chain maintenance, it is also important that operators blow out the radiator and check fluid levels on a daily basis. A small investment in time each day to identify and address any potential issues is an essential way to stay productive on the jobsite.

Utilize new technology

New technology such as telematics, maintenance remotes and automated greasing systems can help you quickly perform daily maintenance and identify parts that will need to be fixed or replaced. For example, an automated greasing system automatically brings grease to each of the many chain trenching machine points that require daily greasing. Eliminating the need for the operator to complete this daily task manually helps promote valuable uptime.

 

The Structure Of The Chain Trencher
 

Engine: The heart of the chain trenching machine, the engine powers all the operations. Regular maintenance, such as oil changes, air filter replacements, and spark plug inspections, ensures efficient performance, reliable power output, and smooth operation.

 

Hydraulic System: Responsible for controlling the chain trenching machine movements and powering various functions, the hydraulic system requires regular fluid checks, filter replacements, and inspections for leaks or damage. Proper maintenance guarantees responsive control, prevents system failures, and prolongs component life.

 

Digging Chain: The digging chain is at the forefront of trenching operations. Regular maintenance involves lubricating the chain, inspecting for worn or damaged teeth, and adjusting tension. By keeping the chain in good condition, you ensure efficient digging, reduce strain on the machine, and enhance productivity.

 

How To Use a Chain Trenching Machine

 

 

Step 1: Pick Your Chain Trenching Machine
First, you have to pick the right equipment for the job. Below we break down the different chain trenching machine and the types of jobs they're best suited for.

 

Step 2: Prepare Your Job Site
This is another area that will vary depending on your project, but there are some best practices to keep in mind, including:
Obtaine the proper permits.
Contact relevant utility entities before trenching to ensure you don't cut through any cables, pipes, or protected tree roots.
Clearly marking where trenching will occur and clear any major obstructions.
Make sure you and your team fully read the operating instructions and safety precautions before getting started.

 

Step 3: Operate Your Chain Trenching Machine
While the specific instructions will vary between chain trenching machine, there are some basics that apply to most of these machines. Being familiar with the basic mechanisms beforehand will help you get to work even faster. You'll find the following on most chain trenching machine:

  • Steering mechanism. On a chain trenching machine, this is typically just a set of handles, while a chain trenching machine has more robust steering levers or track controls.
  • Depth control. Often operated by a hydraulic mechanism, this lever will allow you to raise and lower your chain trenching machine boom as needed.
  • Chain or wheel control. This turns the actual trenching mechanism — either a wheel or chain — on and off.
  • Speed control. This allows you to control how slow or fast your chain trenching machine moves.
  • Gear shift. Your chain trenching machine will start in neutral and you can then put it in forward or reverse.
  • Safety. Finally, the safety mechanism helps you keep your machinery in control. Often a lever on a handle, the chain trenching machine won't start until you disengage the safety.
  • Once you have these basics down and know the specifics of the particular machine you're using, it's time to dig your trenches. First set the depth and speed controls, and then you can start the engine, turn on the chain or wheel, and disengage the safety to start your job. Keep in mind that you may need to adjust the speed and depth as you work, depending on the terrain you're working with, as well as the direction of the chain or wheel.
