Liebherr R 996 B - Manual (Page 15)

15 R 996 B
Sound Attenuation Kit (Option)
Developed with the latest noise
measurement technologies, this
approach is based on both re-
moval of noise at the source and
passive sound attenuation:
• Noise-optimized fan regulation
• Larger and additional muffl ers
with tail pipe absorbers
• Additional high volume sound
attenuation boxes
• Sound attenuation on louvers,
doors and walls
Sustainable Manufacturing Process
With an ever-present green focus, Liebherr contributes to
the sustainable development:
• Systematic risk analysis for new materials qualifi cation
• Promoted recovery waste management
• Controlled non-recyclable waste elimination
• Eco-friendly material selection (95% of material used
on machine is recyclable)
Environment
Liebherr considers the preservation of the environment as a major challenge
for the present and future. Sustainability underpins Liebherr’s machines; from
raw materials selection to manufacturing process employed. Liebherr provides
solutions that allow customers to balance high performance with environmental
consciousness.
Minimized Impact on Life
Optimized Fuel
Consumption Constant power regulation of the hydraulic
system and engine output optimizes equipment fuel
effi ciency, depending on the application. Fan coolers
speed is adjusted on-demand in order to optimize
energy consumption. The automatic idling system
reduces the engine speed when the machine is at rest.
Noise Pollution
Attenuation Liebherr is able to provide machine-specifi c sound
attenuation packages for operations in noise-
restricted areas without any power loss. Developed
with the latest noise measurement technologies,
this approach is based on both removal of noise at
the source as well as passive sound attenuation.
The R 996 B is the ideal tool for operations close to
residential areas.
Sustainable Design and Manufacturing Process
Extended Components
and Fluids Lifetime Liebherr is constantly working on ways to extend
component life. Through the Exchange Components
program, superior lubrication systems, and the
reinforcement of parts under stress, Liebherr can
reduce frequency of part replacement. The result
minimizes environmental impact and lowers the
overall cost of ownership.
Product Life-Cycle
Management Subject to the stringent European Program for
the regulation of the use of chemical substances
in the manufacturing process REACH*, Liebherr
undertakes a global evaluation to minimize the
impacts of hazardous materials.
*REACH is the European Community Regulation on chemicals and their safe use (EC1907/2006)
It deals with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical Substances.
