EXAMPLE 2 A hydraulic excavator excavating bank clay has a heaped capacity of 1.5 cu yd. Its maximum digging height is given by the manufacturer as 7 m. The average angle of swing is 120°. The average height of cut is 2.94 m. The operating time is expected to be 50 min per hr. Management and job conditions are assumed to be fair. What is the hourly rate of production in mºbm/hr if the shovel's cycle time is 19 seconds? Take the shovel's optimum height of cut as equal to 30% of its maximum digging height. Take the smallest applicable value for the bucket fill factor. 23
