For teams working in Siberia or the northern part of Canada, the first thing they often encounter in the morning is a headache - how to start that frozen machine. I have personally experienced the embarrassing situation where an ordinary gasoline engine completely broke down due to the solidification of lubricating oil and the freezing of the carburetor in extremely cold conditions. To address this pain point, I specially developed the "extreme cold start kit", which enables my gasoline impact tamper to be ready to start at minus 30 degrees Celsius.
The first problem I tackled was the freezing of the carburetor. In a damp and cold environment, the heat absorption of the gasoline mist causes the throat of the carburetor to freeze and become clogged. I designed a unique heat exchange device that uses the residual heat from the exhaust pipe to guide a stream of warm air into the intake manifold. I also selected carburetor float chambers with electric heating functions. In a winter pipeline project in Kazakhstan, when other brands' machines were still using blowtorches to warm the engines, my equipment only needed to pull the start rope twice to stabilize its operation. This reliability in extreme environments is the core factor that earns me trust in the high-end market.
The viscosity of lubricating oil increases dramatically at low temperatures, which is another obstacle. I insisted on pre-installing fully synthetic low-temperature-specific lubricating oil in the models exported to the extreme cold regions, and expanded the intake port of the oil pump. I recalibrated the energy output of the ignition system to ensure that the spark plugs could generate stronger and more sustained electric sparks at low temperatures. I even upgraded the material of the start rope, using high-strength anti-freezing fibers to prevent it from becoming brittle and breaking at low temperatures. I am well aware that any minor failure of a component in the extreme cold can lead to the shutdown of the entire construction site.
To protect the operators, I also added anti-freezing shock-absorbing sleeves to the handle. This material remains soft and has high friction at low temperatures, preventing the operators from slipping due to frozen gloves. I pursue a comprehensive "extreme cold care". I once received a thank-you letter from a Russian customer, who mentioned that in the extremely cold construction period in Yakutsk, my gasoline impact tamper was the only power machine that had never failed. This practical recognition is the greatest affirmation of my pursuit of technical excellence.
