Fluid Management
The HYDAC fluid management package consists of services relating to all aspects of fluid and components. This includes being supplied with media and components as well as engineering, hydraulics and facility services that will save money on maintenance costs, investments and labour costs.
Technical Hydraulic Services
These services pertain to specifications, spare parts, repair, maintenance and optimisation of oils, water, lubrication, cooling lubricants and air. Our team will assess your production and servicing workflow from the technical and commercial point of view of fluid power technology and make recommendations regarding current concepts and cost accounting.
Optimisation and Planning
HYDAC can convert and update the components and systems our clients use to prevent the need for purchasing new hydraulic equipment. This can save clients money while also improving their operational availability and productivity.
Areas of application:
- Steel works
- Wind turbines
- Plastics machinery
- Paper machines
- Machine tools
- Hydraulic presses
- Test stands
- And all other production processes requiring monitoring
In addition to all of this, HYDAC can conduct online monitoring of production systems directly on-site or via remote access! We can monitor wind energy, offshore applications and mobile hydraulics, and send the operator notifications in real-time regarding the condition of their system so servicing can be commenced exactly when it’s required.
The advantages:
- Frequent monitoring and logging of the ambient conditions and the automated messages from the production media when outlined service limits have been reached
- Immediate warning when outlined limits have been surpassed
- Prevents the need for unnecessary maintenance on systems where access is difficult
- Early detection of issues that can prevent major breakdowns from occurring
- Optimisation of the maintenance intervals
- Decreased maintenance and repair costs
- Prevention of downtime
- Prevention of significant damage
Calibration
HYDAC’s calibration service can drastically improve the quality of test hydraulic equipment. We calibrate the following equipment: CS and FCU (1000 and 2000 series).
Fluid Analytics
The condition of fluids should be monitored and tested on a regular basis to ensure optimal machine performance.
The required tests are:
- Oil analysis
- Cleanliness determination and analysis, internal company standards for the automotive and supplier industry. Particle distribution measurement acc. ISO 4406 and SAE AS: 4056
- Determination of water content according to the Karl Fischer method
- Microscopic analysis
- Gravimetric analysis
- Granulometric analysis
- Density
- Viscosity
- TAN (Total Acid Number)
- Coolant/lubricant analysis and water analysis (pH-value, conductivity, bacteria, chlorite, nitrate, nitrite, °dH)
- REM/EDX analyses
- Finally, process chain analysis
Process Optimisation
HYDAC can conduct on-site process chain analyses that can outline the state of technical cleanliness in the production process. We can determine what protocols can be developed to enhance component cleanliness values.
Technical Cleanliness
Complete system suppliers and producers need to adhere to rigorous technical cleanliness specifications for their products and systems. HYDAC can conduct both lab analyses and internal company standards and perform site process chain analyses.
