Pile Driving Machine

Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides detailed operating instructions and technical specifications for the FABU Pile Driving Machine, used for driving piles into the ground along motorways.
Operating Instructions:
  • Position the machine at the work site and ensure the hose connecting the compressor and machine is clean and properly attached.
  • Adjust the machine's wheels using screw jacks to allow lateral movement, then secure them in place.
  • Lift and level the boom using the 'BOOM LIFT' valve and screw jacks, ensuring it is aligned with the hammer and operation spot.
  • Lift the hammer, place the pile in the socket, and lower the hammer to ensure proper contact with the pile.
  • Set the desired pile depth using the Rod Measure; the hammer will stop automatically at this depth.
  • Begin pile driving by adjusting the 'HAMMER' valve, increasing the setting as the pile is driven deeper.
  • After driving, lift the hammer to release the pile and reposition the machine for the next operation.
  • For transportation, set the boom to a horizontal position.
Lubrication and Maintenance:
  • Ensure the lubricant container is filled with the appropriate lubricant based on air temperature.
  • Regularly clean the hose and ensure proper attachment to prevent air leaks.
  • Choose the correct driving head for the pile and ensure alignment between the pile and hammer axes.
  • Maintain a driving speed of 15 cm/min, adjusting for ground conditions and pile characteristics.
  • Monitor compressor pressure, ensuring it does not exceed 100 PSI (6.9 BAR) to prevent machine damage.
Technical Specifications:
  • Cylinder Bore: 2.56 inches (65 mm) to 3.15 inches (80 mm)
  • Stroke: 10 inches (254 mm) to 10.43 inches (265 mm)
  • Blows per Minute: 450 to 370
  • Air Consumption: 63 CFM (1.8 m³/min) to 98 CFM (2.8 m³/min) at 100 PSI (6.9 BAR)
  • Piston Weight: 8 kg to 17 kg
  • Hose Connection Diameter: 19 mm to 25 mm
  • Maximum Pile Weight: 80 kg to 140 kg

Pile Driving Machine ►Operation Areas FABU Pile Driving Machine is used for 'pile driving' of piles on to the ground along the motorways. ►Operating Instructions Turn “HAMMER LIFT’ valve to “0” position. (Figure 4) 1. Move Pile Driving Machine to spot where the work will be carried. 2. Clean hose which attaches the compressor and the Pile Driving Machine By blowing air through. Then mount it to the lubricator. 3. Lift the machine by means of two screw jacks. Remove pins above front wheels 900 so the machine can move to the sides instead of back and forth. Secure the new position of the wheels by placing the pins back. 4. Bring the body back on this wheels by turning the screw jacks to left. 5. Lift boom By turning “BOOM LIFT valve to “UP” position. (Figure 1) 6. If necessary level off the boom by means of screw jacks. Use water level mounted on the boom frame to check if it is levelled off. 7. Align axis of the hammer and operation spot by moving the hammer back and forth. Turn “BODY LIFT VALVE” to “BACK’ to move it back. Turn the valve to “FORWARD” to move it forward. (Figure 2) 8.1. Lift the hammer up by turning “HAMMER LIFT valve to “UP” position. (Figure 3) 8.2. Place a pile into socket at the bottom of the boom. Bring the hammer down by turning “HAMMER LIFT” valve to “DOWN” position. Make sure hammer head touches each corner of the pile. 9. Set depth to which to pile will be driven by means of Rod Measure. Driving hammer will stop automatically when the pile is driven to the set depth. 10. Start driving the pile by turning "’HAMMER” valve to position “I”. When the pile driven to the depth of 30 cm turn the valve to position “II”. (Figure 5) 11. Turn “HAMMER LIFT’ valve to “UP’ position after pile driving operation is completed. Lift the hammer up until the head of the pile is freed. (Figure 6) 12. Bring the body back on its wheels by turning the screw jacks to the left. engineering inc. 13. Move the machine to next operation spot by means of engine which moves the machine to the set direction. Turn “ENGINE VALVE” to right or left to move the machine back and forth. (Figure 7) 14. Follow instructions 1 to 13 for next pile driving operation. 15. For easy transportation set the boom horizontal by turning “BOOM LIFT valve to “DOWN” position. (Figure 8) ►Attention 1. Ensure that there is lubricant in container. 1.1. Use one of the following lubricants if air tempreture is equal to or above 10 0C . BP Energol ME200cc MOBIL Almo Oil No: 3 SHELL Tonna R Oil No: 3 ESSO Millcot K-55 1.2 Use ESSO Millcot K-50 if the tempreture is below 2-9 0C . 1.3 Use DEMAG Kilfrost if the temprature is below 2 0C . 2. When assembling hose which attaches compressor and pile driving machine secure lubricator end of it by hand and clean it by blowing air through. Repeat cleaning process every time when the hose is detached. 3. Choose right driving head for pile and attach it to hammer. 4. Do not attach deformed piles to the hammer. 5. Make sure axis of pile and axis of the pile driving hammer are aligned. 6. Try to keep driving speed at 15 cm/min. WARNING: Speed depends on ground structure and pile figure. 7. Control compressor pressure regularly during operation. Pressure must be maximum 100PSI 6.9 BAR. Machine will be damaged if operated above 100PSI. ^Technical Specifications INCH MM INCH MM PER MINUTE INCH MM LBS KG PSI BAR CFM M3/MIN KG
