DV Hydraulics completed the full retrofit of two industrial presses.

The existing mechanical installation was completely modernized with new servo pump-driven hydraulics, a completely new control system and an automated heating system. In addition, the hydraulic cylinders were overhauled, the piping was replaced with heat-resistant components and the entire material handling system around the presses was automated. This gave the existing machines a second life with improved reliability, energy efficiency and ease of operation.

Technical specifications of the installation:

• Two servo-driven hydraulic power units with a combined installed hydraulic power of 30 kW, delivering lower energy consumption and reduced noise levels.

• 150 kW heating capacity for process heating and temperature control.

• Complete machine control through a Siemens PLC-based control system.

• Full retrofit of the hydraulics, controls, heating system and automation.

• Complete overhaul of the hydraulic cylinders.

• New heat-resistant piping and high-temperature hydraulic hoses throughout the installation.

• Two manual loading tables for flexible product feeding.

• Automatic infeed and outfeed systems for both presses.

• Automatic transfer table enabling product routing between the two presses.

• Integrated machine guarding in accordance with applicable machine safety requirements.

• Completely engineered, assembled, programmed and tested by DV Hydraulics.
