Model CS18-HD - Dump Style Scraper Brochure

Ashland EarthmoversCs18-hd Carry-all scraperthe Cs18-hd’s MassiVe trailinG arMs provide this earthmover with strength and durability. To eliminate costly downtime, its lift cylinders are mounted higher -- and with an elevated 16” diameter, 7/8” thick front pipe, the CS18-HD has a whopping 22” of clearance between the front section and the ground. This design prevents the build up and dragging of loose material by the front section. This scraper also boasts a heavy duty reinforced tapered hitch. The CS18-HD’s standard 23.5 x 25 E3/L3 12 ply tires give excellent flotation ability, and they are set away from the machine’s bowl to allow dirt to flow through to the ground. This feature helps prevent plugging and skidding. With a longer rolling radius and lowered ground pressure, every aspect of the CS18-HD is built to excel in marginal conditions.

To learn which drawbar will work for your pull-unit, visit Ashland’s scraper drawbar website, www.scraperdrawbar.com. We encourage you to carefully review the following sections of information and compare the CS18-HD to other pull-type scrapers before purchasing. The areas covered in this product profile include:• hitch system: The front hitch portion of the scraper that connects to the tractor.• Front section: The “V” hitch system comes back from the hitch system to the front frame.• lift Cylinders: Ashland’s lift cylinder positioning translates into bigger, faster loads.• apron: The front gate that provides the opening for material to be ejected. • Bowl: The bucket or “volume area” that will hold the material.• Pushoff: The moving rear wall of the scraper which moves forward to eject the material out of the apron opening. powerful,Versatile,andHeavy DutyHitch SystemFor enhanced traction, direct-mount scrapers transfer a portion of the scraper’s weight and payload onto your pull-unit. Because of this weight transfer, it is important to have a hitch that is very robust and durable. Ashland’s super swivel hitch is one of the heaviest super duty hitch systems available. The super swivel hitch is designed to rotate 360 degrees, and it features nine heavy duty bolts to help bear the scraper’s weight with confidence.Front SectionV-hitchAshland’s panelized “V” shaped hitch secures the super swivel hitch with several 1” x 5” grade bolts near the front. The long, tapered length is then secured to 36” of the front pipe. Many competitors’ front hitches are made from square tubing with short gussets near the main frame pipe. Ashland’s TS2 scrapers uses a “V” hitch design instead because it provides superior strength and durability, especially when cutting during turns, such as in cul-de-sacs or on property line corners. The I-180 TS2’s elevated front section pipe provides unmatched visibility and greater clearance while loading piles or in areas with heavy debris such as tall grass or brush. The biggest benefit of a high clearance pipe is greater clearance for ejecting bulky wet soils.heavy schedule Front PipeRound structures, such as the heavy wall pipe that Ashland uses in its front section, handle torsional loads (twisting loads) much better than square or rectangle tubing. For years, industrial scraper manufacturers of large earthmover equipment have used large, heavy pipe for mainframes to better handle twisting loads. With rounded pipe, the stress of your load is displaced around the entire circumference of the structure -- whereas with square tubing, stress is amplified in the corners and seams. Concentrated stress can cause the tubing to fail in these areas. lift Cylinders, Front liftThe CS18HD lift cylinders are positioned directly over the blade set. These cylinders are mounted in a nearly vertical position so that when the operator retracts the cylinder one inch, the blade moves one inch. While operating, the upright cylinder provide quick blade response time and greater control. This enables the operator to maintain greater control of engine RPMs and ground speed simply by running the auxiliary hydraulic remotes.Product Profile: CS18-HD Carry-All ScraperMost competitors choose to raise and lower their rear tires to control the blade’s elevation. This method makes their machines very slow to respond, which forces the operator to downshift into lower gears to maintain suitable engine RPM’s. Often competitors’ cylinders are mounted horizontally, very close to the ground, and are outside of the cut. This positioning makes them susceptible to damage because of nearby debris or falling material from the payload. Ashland’s use of a Trunion-mount lift cylinder reduces torsional stress while “breaking out” of the cut, because the connecting point of the cylinder is very close to the front section pipe. This short connecting distance reduces the leverage that the cylinder places onto the front pipe and trailing arms. For added strength the 1.5” weldment for the Trunion block doubles as a large corner gusset between the trailing arm and the heavy-walled front pipe. The tapered trailing arm has excellent depth of frame near the front pipe to reduce failures at the corners.ApronEvery scraper can load material, but several have troubles unloading bulky material such as clay or rolled up sod. Ashland’s CS18-HD scrapers have a spacious 48” front opening for material to easily fall forward and be leveled out by the blade.tight FitThe sidewalls of Ashland aprons have close tolerance to the bowl’s sidewalls. This tight fit ensures that debris won’t bend the apron sides inward as the ejector moves forward. straight apron armAshland uses a straight apron arm design. The arm is a 1” plate that extends to the front of the apron. A solid steel 1-3/4” filler plate connects the straight arm to the apron’s sidewall flashing.Bowldual-Plated Floor systemAshland uses a dual plated floor system on its TS2-series. This system consists of two heavy plates that support both the top and bottom edges of the moldboard. This design ensures that the floor will remain straight and strong. This strength is particularly necessary in areas where the bowl may come in contact with large objects such as stumps or rocks. Product Profile: CS18-HD Carry-All ScraperBlade systemThe CS18-HD incorporates a five piece blade set. The protruding center blade extends 5” longer than the neighboring corner blades. All Ashland blades are secured with several grade eight 7/8” plow bolts and nuts. These provide superior clamping force and ensure that you will not lose blades due to fewer and smaller plow blots. Additionally, Ashland’s Boron Thru-Harden blades provide superior wear and durability in any soil condition. Optional Serrated BladeAshland offers an optional serrated center blade for thicker, heavier soils. The leading edge of this center blade has relief cuts deep into the blade. These cuts will break up large slabs of clay into smaller pieces, which helps spread your dirt more evenly. laser Mast MountThe CS18-HD features a laser mast pad on a large cross-member, mounted ahead of the apron and slightly in front of the blade system. There is no need for you to add costly laser mast catwalks or bridges -- on Ashland ejectors this laser pad is standard equipment. hydraulic ValveAshland’s hydraulic valve system is mounted on the left rear corner of the scraper, underneath a large dirt shield. This valve is designed for the high GPM often available on late model tractors. The CS18-HD’s dual cartridge system within the valve assembly allows the apron to open fully, prior to the ejector wall moving forward. Once the ejector wall has pushed off the payload, the operator will reverse the control lever in the cab and allow the ejector wall to retract while the apron remains open. This system allows the operator to begin loading the scraper immediately, even while the ejector wall is moving back. The operator also can leave the ejector wall fully forward and lower the blade slightly to level the haul road or rough level an area. Once the ejector wall is fully retracted to rear of the bowl, the sequencing cartridge will divert oil to the apron, allowing the apron to fully close. Miscellaneous3/4” hydraulic line tubing ClampsCommercial manufacturers of hydraulic line tubing require these lines to be mounted within an approved cushioned clamp assembly. Ashland’s flexible plastic clamps gently secure hydraulic line tubing without the risk of wear due to normal machine vibration.Product Profile: CS18-HD Carry-All Scraper Sales_Book_reduced
