Thinking beyond the simple black rubber pipe

Thinking beyond the simple black rubber pipe

The humble hydraulic hose has seen many improvements in recent years, and a significant amount of advanced engineering has gone into today’s high performance products. Luca Pozzi reports.

Electro-hydraulic pump sets offer energy efficiency gains

Electro-hydraulic pump sets offer energy efficiency gains

Combining the power density of Eaton’s pump systems with the smart control functionality of VSDs can achieve power-on-demand in a more energy efficient way than a conventional proportional valve based system.

Vacuum technology puts the gloss on synthetic stone production

Vacuum technology puts the gloss on synthetic stone production

Diresco uses Busch vacuum technology to produce synthetic stone slabs that are completely free of gas inclusions and cavities. Vacuum is applied to the material presses of both production lines, to ensure a top quality appearance and optimum structural integrity.
