Yizhan Mini Excavators: Precision Solutions Boosting Aquaculture Farm Efficiency by 40%

I. Why are Yizhan International Mini Excavators Particularly Suitable for Aquaculture Farm Construction?

1. Flexibility & Efficiency

• Operation in Confined Spaces: Farms often have compact layouts. Small excavators (e.g., 1-2 ton models) can maneuver flexibly within limited spaces, avoiding collisions with fences or facilities.

• Rapid Site Transfer: Lightweight equipment allows easy relocation between work areas without heavy transport, ideal for alternating work on multiple ponds.

2. Versatility & Adaptability

• Quick Attachment Change: Switching between buckets, hydraulic compactors, silt buckets, etc., enables complete workflows: digging ponds, clearing roots/stones, leveling foundations, backfilling, compaction.

• Precision Operation: The hydraulic system allows fine control for shaping pond slopes and ditch alignments accurately, eliminating errors common in manual excavation.

3. High Cost-Effectiveness

• Reduced Labor Dependence: 1 mini excavator ≈ 20 workers digging continuously, significantly shortening project timelines (e.g., a 500m² fish pond can be completed in 1-2 days).

• Fuel Efficiency: Small models have low fuel consumption (~4-8L/hour), with maintenance costs far lower than large equipment.

II. Core Application Scenarios in Aquaculture Farm Construction

1. Aquaculture Pond Excavation

• Precise Shaping: Excavates directly to the designed shape (e.g., stepped shrimp ponds, sloped fish ponds), eliminating the need for secondary finishing.

• Earthwork Management: Excavated soil can be directly used for site filling or hauled away in an integrated operation.

• Case Reference: A Jiangsu crab farm used a 1.8-ton Yizhan mini excavator to complete ten 300m² ponds in 3 days, with slope error <5%.

2. Site Clearing

• Surface Treatment: Clears shrubs, stumps, and rocks, leveling the ground (uses hydraulic breakers for hard debris).

• Drainage System Construction: Excavates drainage ditches and sump pits to prevent farm flooding during rainy seasons.

• Waste Removal: Quickly loads waste debris using grab buckets or standard buckets, maintaining a clean worksite.

III. Practical Tips: Maximizing Equipment Value

1. Model Selection Guide

• Soft Soil Areas (e.g., sandy loam): Equip a wide-tooth silt bucket (e.g., 60cm) for enhanced digging efficiency.

• Debris-Prone Sites: Equip a hydraulic thumb clamp or multi-tine grab bucket for efficient clearing of branches and stones.

• Slope Grading: Use a laser grading system (optional) to ensure precise pond bank slopes.

2. Construction Techniques

• Stratified Excavation: Strip topsoil first (for potential reuse), then excavate layer by layer to avoid soil mixing.

• Sump Pit Provision: Dig a temporary sump pit at the lowest point of the pond base for water pumping, ensuring continuous operation.

3. Maintenance Essentials

• Daily Cleaning: Rinse tracks and radiators after work to prevent mud clogging (especially critical in saline-alkaline aquaculture environments).

• Regular Inspection: Focus on hydraulic hose seal integrity to avoid leaks contaminating the farm environment.

IV. Outstanding Advantages of Yizhan International Equipment

V. Success Case References

• Shandong Meat Duck Farm: Used Yizhan Model 13 mini excavators (with silt buckets) to clear 20 acres and excavate 12 breeding ponds in 7 days, saving 40% in costs.

• Hubei Rice-Fish Coculture Project: Mini excavators modified paddy field ditch systems, precisely controlling water depth to 30±5cm, achieving "dual-use fields".
