At Hydrastore, we provide a range of hydraulic power packs designed for various industries. Whether your needs involve standard hydraulic units or bespoke hydraulic power packs, knowing the different types helps you choose the right one. Below are the main types of hydraulic power packs, with examples of their uses and reasons for choosing one over the others.
Regular hydraulic power packs are already set up for many industrial tasks. These units include essential parts, such as a hydraulic pump, an electric motor, and a reservoir. They provide steady performance for typical jobs.
Example: A warehouse may use a standard hydraulic power unit to power conveyor systems that move products. The unit provides pressure and flow, which is crucial for keeping operations smooth without costly customisation.
Features:
Applications: Factory conveyor systems, industrial machinery, and lifting equipment.
Custom hydraulic power packs are designed to meet specific operational requirements where standard systems are not sufficient. Hydrastore develops and builds these units using carefully selected hydraulic components and control systems tailored to each client's needs.
Example:In industrial environments such as manufacturing or process facilities and mechanical handling, Custom hydraulic power packs are essential for delivering the precise flow rates, pressure control, and durability required for continuous, heavy-duty performance.
Features:
Applications: Custom machinery, mining operations, process equipment, and industrial automation.
Mini hydraulic power packs are small and created for situations where space is tight, but hydraulic supply remains important. These units suit mobile uses or small machines very well.
Example: For instance, a delivery vehicle with a tail lift often uses a mini hydraulic power pack to load and unload goods. These units are compact enough to fit inside the chassis but supply enough hydraulic power for lifting.
Features:
Applications: Vehicle lifts, portable machinery, and compact construction tools.
Mini hydraulic power packs are compact units designed to deliver hydraulic power in applications where space is limited but performance cannot be compromised. These systems are ideal for installations that require reliable hydraulic force in confined or restricted areas.
Example: Mini power packs are commonly used in compact industrial equipment or small-scale automation systems where space constraints make standard hydraulic systems impractical.
Features:
Applications: Used in situations where hydraulic power is essential but installation space is at a premium, such as in small machinery, portable equipment, or compact industrial systems.
DC hydraulic power packs are designed for mobile or remote operations and are powered by a DC motor. These units are suitable for vehicles, temporary systems, or situations where grid power isn’t available.
Example: Emergency response vehicles often rely on DC hydraulic power packs to operate equipment like extendable ladders or hydraulic cutters. A battery's power supply ensures quick deployment and reliability in emergencies.
Features:
Applications: Rescue equipment, agricultural machinery, and off-grid hydraulic systems.
AC hydraulic power packs use electric motors connected to a main power grid to provide high and consistent power output. These are ideal for industrial settings where a stable power supply is necessary.
Example: Steel plants often use AC hydraulic power units to operate hydraulic presses that shape and mould large metal sheets. The continuous hydraulic fluid flow ensures efficiency during heavy-duty operations.
Features:
Applications: Industrial presses, factory automation, and large-scale machinery.
The right hydraulic power pack is vital for seamless operation and equipment lifespan. Important to consider factors include:
