Types of superchargers for construction machinery: loaders, bulldozers, graders, and excavators
Superchargers for construction machinery include mechanical types Roots and Twin-Screw and turbochargers positive pressure to increase engine intake air volume. Operating pressure ranges from 0.5 to 2.5 bar, with outlet air temperatures up to 150°C. Airflow capacity varies between 500 to 5000 liters per minute depending on engine and machine type. Shafts and rotors are made of alloy steel with 55–60 HRC hardness, with maximum RPM up to 20,000 for turbos and 6,000 for mechanical superchargers.
Superchargers are equipped with double-sided bearings, high-pressure lubrication, and oil/air cooling systems to maintain engine temperature. Installation and tuning follow ISO 9001 and SAE J726 standards to ensure accurate air pressure and volume across all engine speeds. Components feature aluminum or hard chrome coating for wear and corrosion resistance, with a service life of up to 10,000 hours under industrial conditions.
