Fuel Efficiency Analysis
The Weichai WD615.62G engine is optimized for heavy-cycle applications with a Bosch Electronically Controlled High-Pressure Common Rail (HPCR) fuel system. Under typical auger operation cycles (intermittent drilling, carrier transit, idle), average fuel consumption is 28.5 L/100 km (8.2 US MPG) when operating at 65–75% load.
In idle-reduction mode (auto engine shutdown after 5 min), fuel savings of up to 12% are observed over an 8-hour shift. The HW19710 transmission enables precise gear matching to terrain and load, minimizing lugging and over-revving. Integrated engine mapping reduces fuel consumption during low-torque auger repositioning by 9% compared to standard calibration.

| Application Method | High-pressure spray (minimum 25 bar) |
| Coverage Areas | All exposed metal surfaces, including spline shafts, teeth, mounting flanges, and internal bores |
| Film Thickness | 25 – 40 µm (measured per ISO 2808) |
| Salt Spray Resistance | Minimum 500 hours per ASTM B117 |
| Removal Method | Biodegradable degreaser (pH 7–9) post-delivery |
| Certification | Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and test report required per batch |
Note: Wax treatment must be applied within 24 hours of final assembly and prior to crating or loading. Humidity during application must not exceed 60% RH.
4. Recommended Shipping Strategy
| Scenario | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Single-unit or low-volume export | Flat Rack | Superior protection, precise lashing, reduced damage claims |
| High-volume, regular shipments with compatible carriers | RO-RO | Cost-effective at scale; faster turnaround at compatible terminals |
| Budget-constrained, inland destination with bulk handling access | Bulk Cargo | Not advised; only if wax-protected and fully insured due to high risk |
5. Operational Recommendations
- Pre-Shipment Preparation
- All auger attachments must undergo wax spray treatment per SL-IS-2026-CORR.
-
Attachments to be secured on steel skids with lifting lugs for crane compatibility.
-
Documentation
- Include corrosion protection certification in shipping dossier.
-
Provide handling diagrams indicating center of gravity and lift points.
-
Port Coordination
- Confirm terminal capabilities (RO-RO ramp, flat rack availability) 14 days pre-shipment.
-
Schedule loading during low-humidity windows to preserve wax integrity.
-
Insurance
- For Bulk Cargo: Minimum 150% equipment value coverage with saltwater damage clause.
- For Flat Rack and RO-RO: Standard marine insurance (110% value) sufficient with wax certification.
6. Conclusion
For the export of excavator auger attachments from China, Flat Rack shipping is the technically optimal solution, balancing cargo security, handling control, and corrosion protection. While RO-RO offers cost benefits for high-volume operations, its applicability is constrained by equipment mobility requirements. Bulk Cargo is not recommended due to unacceptably high risk of mechanical and environmental damage.
Mandatory wax-based corrosion protection is critical across all modal choices to ensure product integrity upon arrival. SEA LION International advises integration of SL-IS-2026-CORR into supplier quality agreements for all export-bound auger attachments.
