New CASE loader engines are more economical and powerful

The models are in the range of 10 and 12 tons of operating weight, respectively, and the W20F is equipped with a mechanical engine with 152 hp of gross power. “There is still a strong demand in Brazil for a simple product, without much on-board electronics and with low operational and maintenance costs”, explains CASE Marketing Manager, Maurício Moraes. 

This is the most robust model in its category and, despite meeting pollutant and noise emission standards, fuel consumption was maintained compared to the previous version. “Consequently, this model allows you to obtain maximum torque faster and maintain it for longer compared to the W20E”, explains Moraes. “As a result, the machine also fills the bucket more quickly, increasing work performance”, he adds.

“We developed our engines with MAR-I/Tier3 technology that guarantees, through a simpler and more accessible mechanical injection system, the same power and torque as solutions with an electronic engine, that is, we deliver the necessary productivity with savings in resources”, explains André Luiz Oliveira de Faria, Product Specialist at FPT Industrial in Latin America.

In the mechanical engine options, FPT Industrial prioritized the attributes of easy maintenance and economy. “It is important to highlight that in maintenance items, the cost reduction can exceed 20% compared to a solution with an electronic motor in the same power range. Oil changes, for example, can be done every 500 hours and no longer every 300, which maximizes availability and avoids machine downtime. The mechanical nozzle, for example, costs a quarter of the price of the electronic one. This at the tip of the pencil makes all the difference”, he adds.

In the case of the 621E, the model is equipped with the FPT Industrial N67 Mar-I/Tier 3 electronic engine with two power curves. Besides the standard, there is also the economical option, which guarantees 10% fuel savings compared to the previous version.

The model also features a differential in the torque curve that allows maximum torque to be reached more quickly and maintained for longer, ensuring agility when filling the bucket.

“Just like the mechanical version, the electronic version also has no restrictions on fuel use. FPT engines stand out for being approved to work with fuels with a high sulfur content, and can work with Diesel S500 without the need for additives and following all Mar-I/Tier 3 regulations”, highlights Faria.
