Compact power packs made to customer specifications

Fourth Quarter 2006 Other technologies

Hydromobile distribute a very wide range of products. Its products are used by many OEMs in the mining, forestry, transport, material handling, agricultural, and construction industries.

Hydromobile SA is the sole distributor of Hydr-app Power Packs. These compact power packs are available in 220, 380 and 525 V single phase and three phase motors up to a kilowatt rating of 5,5 kW depending on the working pressure of the unit. These units are also available in 12 and 24 V d.c. The pump sizes vary from 1,2 to 7,8 cc. These units can therefore be made to the customers specifications.

The modular design of the power pack which includes a relief valve and check valve in the pump head eliminates all pipe work and therefore less leakage points. One of the biggest advantages of the Hydr-app Power Pack is the same day service the company offers on all standard power units, cutting down time to a minimum and therefore saving the customer money.

The Hydr-app is used to manufacture Electro Hydraulic Actuators. These units are a cylinder and a power pack in one unit. Electro Hydraulic Actuators are used in the mining industry to open and close shoots.

These Hydr-app Power Packs are used in various applications such as, truck tail-lifts, scissor lifts, braking systems on underground mining vehicles, presses, trailers and all light industry applications.
