REM-B Hydraulics developed the powerpacks for worldwide metal construction company, Smulders. pressure gauge octa -contained, remote-controlled hydraulics powerpacks are a safer various to long lengths of hydraulic hoses connected to a quayside pump.
Lifting ไดอะแฟรม ซีล fabricated turbine bases from the quayside on to a barge for delivery offshore requires shackles to connect the turbine base to a three-point lifting frame and crane. Engaging and releasing the shackles is finished utilizing a double appearing valve arrangement powered by quayside pump linked by lengthy hoses. Smulders was looking for a simpler and safer methodology of participating and releasing the shackles without the necessity for long hoses.
Attached to each leg of the lifting body, the REM-B Hydraulics’ system removes the requirement for long hoses by utilizing a battery-powered, Enerpac XC pump to function a bi-directional valve connected to a cylinder that moves the pin connecting the shackle. The whole system is contained in a compact steel case with an external aerial linking every unit to a wireless controller. For increased security, the shackle pins are activated sequentially.
Weighing 9.9 kg, the Enerpac XC-Series hydraulic pump is equipped with an environment friendly electrical motor powered by an industrial grade 28-volt, Lithium-Ion battery, delivering distinctive speed and run time and is designed for remote outside areas.
