Adblue system management on Mc Closkey I44 V3 crusher
Repair an adblue defect on McCloskey crusher: It is a machine designed to reduce materials into small parts, such as gravel, sand or rocks. The high quality CAT C9.3 diesel engine which can be used in various types of machinery including crushers. The Adem 6 ECU is an engine management system that allows you to control and monitor engine operation. It can be used to optimize fuel consumption, engine power and performance, as well as managing the exhaust gas and AdBlue after-treatment system.
The main causes of adblue faults
You may have a problem with your crusher’s AdBlue system if you notice an AdBlue defect. AdBlue is a diesel additive that is used in some vehicles to reduce nitrogen dioxide (NOx) emissions. If the AdBlue system is not working properly, it can lead to a reduction in engine performance or even a complete shutdown of the crusher.
There are several reasons why your crusher’s AdBlue system may not be working properly. Here are a few things to check.
AdBlue level: make sure the AdBlue tank is full and there are no leaks.
AdBlue pumps: The AdBlue pump may be defective and must be replaced.
AdBlue sensors: AdBlue sensors may be defective and must be checked and, if necessary, replaced.
AdBlue filter: the AdBlue filter may be clogged and must be cleaned or replaced.
Data reprogramming and fault code checks using the official CATERPILLAR case
If active fault codes are detected on the engine, this can lead to reduced engine and crusher performance. This is because fault codes indicate that there is a problem somewhere in the engine or control system, and the engine may be torque and power limited to protect against possible damage.
It is important to diagnose and clear active fault codes as soon as possible to ensure proper engine and crusher operation. We use our own communication tool for the more recent ADEM 6 ECUs.
Our intervention consists of reprogramming the memory of the engine computer and thus resetting the engine operating data and exhaust gas post-treatment. The SCR, DOC/FAP, and EGR system when present are also permanently deleted. We flash our own program, which we created through our engineering department. This is not a ready-made program, ready to inject into the machine, it is not so simple :).
After solving the adblue fault on McCloskey crusher?
The adblue fault on the McCloskey crusher has finally been resolved, the full power of the machine will be available again. Our intervention takes an average of 4 hours. No fault codes will be displayed on the dashboard / control computer of the machine. (see below with the CAT diagnostic tool).
