• Project Management: Full project management including planning, monitoring, and reporting.
• Fabrication:
  • Apron Feeder: Fabrication and supply of all hydraulic piping (114.3mm pipe, Schedule XXS), including tube, fittings, clamps, support brackets, hoses, and manifolds.
  • Crusher: Fabrication and supply of all hydraulic and lubrication piping systems.
  • Rock Breaker: Fabrication and supply of all hydraulic piping components.
• Processing: Factory testing, Non-Destructive Examination (NDE), surface preparation, and painting prior to delivery.
• Site Installation: Installation of all piping and supports on-site within the strict project schedule.
• Commissioning: Hot oil flushing of hydraulic systems on-site to achieve target cleanliness values.
• Handover: Completion of final connections, Inspection and Test Plans (ITP), QA documentation, and Manufacturer’s Data Report (MDR).

Key Achievement
Despite a very compressed timescale from the outset, Hytube delivered on schedule. Our ability to manage engineering, fabrication, and installation internally allowed us to offer solutions that reduced lead times and maintained critical project momentum.

• System Design: Custom design of Hydraulic Press system capable of operating pressures up to 350 Bar.
• Manifold Technology: Design and manufacture of custom hydraulic manifold blocks to include improved operational logic and additional functions.
• Testing: Rigorous pressure testing to ensure safety and compliance:
  • Design Pressure: 350 Bar
  • Test Pressure: 525 Bar

Key Design Requirements

The client required a solution that addressed specific operational pain points:

• Leak Reduction: Engineering controls to minimize fluid loss.
• Wear & Heat Reduction: Optimizing system design to lower component wear and heat generation.
• Energy Efficiency: Reducing power consumption through non-continuous operation of equipment.
• Cost Management: Delivering lower operational costs and reduced maintenance requirements.

Outcome
Hytube successfully delivered a robust upgrade that met all technical specifications, enhancing the press’s performance and longevity while minimizing ongoing maintenance costs.
