KAMAZ 53229: brief description of the car

For many years, cars produced by the Kamsky car factory enjoy great popularity in the consumer environment, which is not surprising, given their optimal quality, price and ease of operation. One of these machines, which clearly performs the functions assigned to it, is KamAZ 53229, which will be discussed in this article.

Brand Leader

Immediately, we note that all trucks of the Kama enterprise are reliable and durable units, which, however, sometimes are not endowed with a proper degree of comfort for operational personnel, which, however, has virtually no effect on the final result of their work.

KamAZ 53229 truck mixer is a machine intended for transporting and delivering concrete and other building mixtures in large quantities to the right place. This mixer is able to overcome considerable distances without any damage to the material being transported.

Appearance

KamAZ 53229, as a matter of fact, like the entire line of these legendary cars, does not have any serious differences from its other colleagues in the shop. The cabin is made in a rectangular shape, and the radiator grille extends slightly forward. The viewing glasses are large. External lighting is also invariable and is characterized by a good light output. The machine is often painted at the factory in a gray or bright orange color.

Internal environment

KamAZ 53229 is equipped with a high cabin, which, in turn, is located directly above the power plant. The driver's space is equipped with three seats. There may also be a bed. Due to the fact that the driver's seat is raised, almost 100% visibility is provided, and the side mirrors give a complete picture of what is happening on the side of the car. The instrument panel is convenient and multifunctional, all sensors are within sight of a person, it is absolutely easy to take readings. In close proximity to the driver are all the control levers in the car, which ensures reliable and safe management of the truck. Of the negative qualities, we point out the very poor noise insulation of the cabin.

Motor

KamAZ 53229 is equipped with a diesel unit 740.31-240, which is also a product of the Kamsky Automobile Plant. The engine is equipped with a turbocharged supercharger and an intermediate cooling system of air supplied to the combustion chamber. There are 8 cylinders, located V-shaped. The motor has its own volume of 10.85 liters. Its rated power is 240 horsepower, and the torque can easily reach 834 Nm at a speed of 2200 rpm. The diameter of each cylinder is 120 mm.

General information about the technical device

The characteristics of KAMAZ 53229 will be incomplete, if not to mention the gearbox. It has ten speeds, which allow you to easily manipulate the machine while driving with virtually no loss of speed on a wide variety of tracks. The distributor box of the truck is pneumatic and has the ability, if necessary, to block the interaxle differential.

Technical indicators

KamAZ 53229, the technical characteristics of which will be indicated below, has good controllability and resistance to the impact of sometimes substandard domestic roads.

Among the main technical parameters of the machine are the following:

• Wheel formula - 6x4 or 4x2;
• Total weight - 27500 kg;
• Spring suspension;
• Number of axes - 3;
• The volume of the working hopper is from 6 to 8 cu. M;
• Parameters of the angle of inclination - 10-45 degrees;

Of the shortcomings of the car, drivers most often note failures in the operation of the fuel system, which performs its functions improperly for two reasons:

• Technical imperfection;
• Poor quality of diesel fuel that is offered on the territory of our state.

To control the operation of fuel equipment should be constantly, since the nozzles are most often clogged and out of order.

As for the braking system, in this machine it is presented in the form of shoe units with a pneumatic drive, reliably providing a clamping force at the time of stopping or parking the car.

In some cases, at the request of the customer, the KAMAZ mixer can be equipped with special equipment using thermal insulation, which is designed to protect the transport mixture from the negative influence of the external environment and low temperatures of the atmosphere.
