This strong background coupled with a passion and creativity enables HYQUIP to assess every application on its own merits and provide solutions by integrating the best technology to fit customer specific requirements.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS

Hydraulic systems comprise of three major components; namely, actuators, power unit and control systems, and piping installations. HYQUIP has an unrivalled reputation for technical expertise in all areas and freely gives its customers technical support in parts selection, system design and installation.

• Actuators (Cylinders, Motors & Rotary Actuators)

Whatever your requirements; workholding or specialist clamping elements, welded construction, tie rod, mill, telescopic, displacement or bespoke cylinders, hydraulic motors or rotary actuators HYQUIP will provide independent advice and make recommendations.

• Power Units & Control Systems

Once the actuators are established, HYQUIP can assist you to develop the best power unit and control system solution to match performance expectations. Standard and bespoke hydraulic power units can range from fractional kilowatt units with fixed displacement pumps and spool valves to complex 110kW multi-station ringmain systems with high technology pump controllers and proportional/servo technology.

• Piping Installations

HYQUIP has experience undertaking all types of installations; welded pipework, compression fittings and other piping systems in steel, stainless steel, copper and tungum tubing. Whether a hazardous environment or special fluids (including water), or systems requiring complete electrical or pneumatic control systems, HYQUIP has the expertise.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT & DETAIL DESIGN

HYQUIP operates a dedicated project office to ensure that every contract is successfully managed. Performance is measured monthly and the Engineering Manager is a dedicated member of the Management Review Team for ISO 9001. From receipt of order through to contract fulfilment you will be assured of a personal service from a member of our experienced project engineering team.

HYQUIP Project Engineers lead from the front, they carryout system detailing using the latest CAD software, they oversee workshop build and testing, they attend client meetings post contract and they are responsible for overseeing site commissioning ensuring total backup for HYQUIP hydraulic technicians.

Project Engineers have total responsibility for ensuring all documentation is completed. Documentation is issued with the delivery of the Hydraulic Power Unit, actuators and associated hardware. Thereafter an ‘as build’ or ‘as commissioned’ set of drawings will be issued should additional information be required on the drawings.

All design elements assume compliance with EN982 and ISO9001 and documentation includes a combined Certificate of Conformity / Declaration of Incorporation, a full set of schematic drawings, and a Hyquip Start Up, Maintenance and Fault Finding Manual as standard.

POWER UNIT MANUFACTURE, TEST AND INSPECTION

Working to ISO 9001 HYQUIP’s team of dedicated hydraulic technicians pride themselves on being the elite of the industry. All engineers are time served with additional fluid power training.

Systems and power units are 100% functional tested, using the latest equipment. At HYQUIP we aim to simulate your specific requirements before the equipment leaves our workshop. Function, layout, cleanliness and aesthetics are all guaranteed.

WARNING – Functional testing is no replacement for site specific commissioning. Only hydraulic competent engineers should integrate hydraulic systems.

SITE INSTALLATION, FLUSHING AND COMMISSIONING

Knowledge of pipework and circuit design, allowing for correct sizing, stressing, routing and bending is fundamental to a successful installation. HYQUIP engineers are on hand to install, flush and commission hydraulic systems in virtually any environment anywhere around the world whatever the pipework construction and circuit complexity.

HYQUIP guarantees the cleanliness of all installation work using either wet flushing or a pneumatic pellet system (dry flushing). Installation, flushing and site commissioning is undertaken by qualified hydraulic technicians who are time served engineers with many years experience.

• Installation

HYQUIP has experience undertaking all types of installations; welded pipework, compression fittings and other piping systems in steel, stainless steel, copper and tungum tubing. Knowledge of pipework and circuit design allowing for correct sizing, stressing, routing, mounting and bending is fundamental to the successful installation of any hydraulic system. HYQUIP engineers will provide a well-designed solution that is technically correct and aesthetically suited to meet your needs. Whatever type of installation HYQUIP welcomes all enquiries.

WARNING - A poor installation by inexperienced non-hydraulic system engineers can lead to contamination problems and turbulent flow conditions which will reduce cleanliness levels, increase pipe joint fatigue, effect overall performance of your machine and dramatically reduce the life of your system and its components.

• Flushing

HYQUIP engineers ensure that the correct cleanliness and flushing procedures are followed, thereby optimising the performance and life of your equipment. HYQUIP guarantee the cleanliness of all installation works using either wet flushing or a pneumatic pellet system.

WARNING - Don't compromise your investment, an inappropriate installation that has been inadequately flushed can lead to costly and untimely problems - let HYQUIP assume sole responsibility for the supply, installation, flushing and commissioning of all your fluid power requirements.

• Commissioning

Even a good installation by competent engineers with the correct flushing procedures does not ensure a successful installation. Success is determined post commissioning when the equipment is fully integrated with your equipment. As such, HYQUIP engineers are fully prepared with documentation, drawings, in-house technical support and test equipment necessary to ensure your installation is completely simulated and operated to your satisfaction.

HYQUIP engineers are experienced at working in partnership with other contractors and specialist personnel to ensure successful integration during the commissioning phases of any new installation.

AFTERSALES SERVICE AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT

As well as providing component parts from market leading component manufacturers and undertaking service contracts around the UK, HYQUIP’s mobile Trouble Shooters are available to undertake ad-hoc faultfinding, reactive and preventative maintenance, servicing (oil/filter changes and analysis), refurbishment works and upgrades.

For FREE impartial technical advice or emergency breakdown assistance contact a member of HYQUIP’s engineering team for an initial assessment.

• Oil Changes, Cleaning, Analysis & Filtration

Machine life will be extended and operating efficiency maintained if contamination in your hydraulic system is reduced. HYQUIP offer services to undertake necessary oil changes, cleaning, analysis and offline filtration to prolong the life of your component parts and hydraulic systems.

• Preventative Maintenance & Service Contracts

By detecting problems before they occur, a planned maintenance programme will reduce costs often resulting from machine downtime. HYQUIP can schedule planned service visits to suit your production schedules. During planned visits consumable parts can be replaced and necessary checks undertaken to eliminate contamination and other causes of system failure. If you are currently reviewing your maintenance schedule, HYQUIP have skilled engineers who will conduct a free no obligation site assessment and propose a programme of hydraulic maintenance to be undertaken.
