You walk to the shop floor. Your team is milling around a piece of equipment. Nobody is doing their job. You can already tell that you’re behind schedule. Your face flushes with embarrassment as you remember all the promises that were made regarding the next production quota. A quick discussion with one of the idle bystanders and the problem is revealed. The hydraulic power unit has failed. This situation is a production manager’s nightmare.
Hydraulic Power Units are in abundant supply online. Spend an hour internet surfing and, most likely, a hydraulic power unit can be found rather easily, assuming the volume, pressure, temperature, and logistical requirements are known. Some of the more savvy mechanics can figure out how to build an adequate hydraulic power unit themselves, if enough time is available, but most take the easy route and buy a convenient one online or from someone else that buys it online. This is not the best case scenario for an investment as long lasting and mission critical as a hydraulic power unit. Unfortunately, many fail to understand the value that a power unit specialist can bring to the table.
Anyone that understands the world of hydraulic power units understands that many important variables must be taken into account before purchase. When it comes to efficiency, the typical buyer struggles to figure out what type of pump is optimal let alone the EXACT pressure rating and GPM output that will minimize energy input. Temperature and pressure requirements must be calculated correctly to determine the power source and fluid type. The proper filter size must be calculated to reduce contamination while maintaining system pressure. The reservoir must be large enough to maintain the required flow rate, while still fitting logically within the available space. Our hydro-mechanical engineers ensure that customers get the biggest bang for their buck, wherever possible. At Curry Fluid Power, Hydraulic Power Units are built to optimize efficiency, durability, stowability, maneuverability, ease of use, safety, and even the final price tag.
