Specialised hydraulic power units from Hyflo

4th Quarter 2018 Hydraulic systems & components

Hyflo offers the local market a comprehensive service for hydraulic systems, which includes the manufacture of hydraulic power units (HPUs) designed to meet exact customer specifications. The Hyflo engineering team at the Johannesburg head office facility has recently completed an 11 kW HPU, which has been designed to drive a conveyor system at a mine in Limpopo.

“This HPU, which is capable of supplying a high-torque, low-speed function for startup, as well as a low-torque, high-speed function for normal operation, ensures optimum performance and power efficiency in harsh mining conditions,” says project engineer, Tinus Vermeulen. “An advanced digital pump control system enables the HPU pump to provide various functions, which are adjustable to meet exact requirements.”

This robust system is equipped with a Parker PV electro-hydraulic axial piston pump, which is controlled via an electronic module located in the local control panel. Other features of the HPU are a strengthened frame, 400 litre tank and hydraulic control manifold, as well as pressure and return line filtration. Safety features include maintenance indicators and low-level and high temperature cut-outs.

All Hyflo systems are manufactured according to stringent quality and safety standards, as required by customers in diverse industries, including mining and quarrying, manufacturing, agriculture, marine and off-shore services, as well as general engineering. Hyflo’s fluid power solutions encompass hydraulics and pneumatics, hose and fittings, as well as automation systems.
