Quarterly maintenance of hydraulic and pneumatic systems: An imperative need

July 9, 2019 3:20 pm

Hydraulics and pneumatics are the application of fluid power and fluid mechanics, which is an important aspect of science that deals with the behaviour of the fluids, whether or not in motion. Whereas pneumatics, is more of an engineering application, utilising the air pressure. The combined application, are the fluid powder, that is jointly used for the generation, control, and transmission of power by the use of pressurized liquids. Bhupendra Khatri, Technical Director, Technic Automation, emphasises on endorsing the accessibility of readymade components of hydraulic and pneumatic control systems to the customers, putting onus on regular and timely maintenance of their machines, for delivering improvised quality output to the customers.

Could you brief us about your contribution towards industrial automation? What are your product offering?
We provide customised fluid power industrial automation since 1992. Our prime motto is to provide cost effective solution for increasing production with quality. We are providing our services for
• Pneumatic automation
• Hydraulic automation
• Air leak test system
• Hydro leak test system
• Special purpose machinery

What is your market position in this domain?
We are in business of pneumatic andhydraulic technologies where in, we provide:
• Pneumatic panel and system, as per our view there are no other professional enterprise providing customised pneumatic automation.
• Hydraulic panel and system, though there are many enterprises which provide hydraulic system and power pack, we deliver hydraulic components that matches the control panel’s circuits.

What are the safety measurement you’re offering in hydraulics and pneumatics?
We provide the operational manual with each and every system which is having component wise precaution and maintenance details.
• For pneumatic system: I would suggest to conduct a quarterly examination of each and every components, as preventive maintenance, along with refuelling required or additional oil in the lubricator for better life of all pneumatic components.
• For hydraulic system: Again, examining each and every components on a quarterly basis, as preventive maintenance is imperative. Further, refuelling the oil tanks whenever required and replace oil of power pack at least once in a year.

What kind of smart industry solutions are being provided in hydraulics and pneumatics?
• For hydraulics: We manufacture suitable power pack, as required, and install/commission at the designated/assembled place for maintenance. We provide all other hydraulic components in a control panel for user friendly operation by customer.
• For pneumatic: We suggest and offer compatible compressors to the customers and to check on the cfm requirement of pneumatic system and offer the other remaining pneumatic components, in a control panel for user friendly operation customer.

What kind of testing and analysis are done for hydraulic fluid? How to monitor the state of a hydraulic fluid?
The testing and analysis of hydraulic fuel essential contains verifying the wear metal, viscosity, water content, oxidation and foam testing, before processing them further. In order to check the state of hydraulic oil, we must consider and conduct visual inspection, quick analysis in the operations and the further examining the oil.

Which pneumatic automation technologies are in place to tackle common service and maintenance tasks?
Pneumatics that are commonly used in the industry are, the pneumatic tools, largely for automobile industries, pneumatic press, air preparation unit etc.

What are your objectives for 2019?
We are making efforts to provide customise automation based on pneumatic & hydraulic technologies to a wide range of industries. Moreover, we want the customers to be cognisant of the availability of ready-made pneumatic control panels & systems, hydraulic control panels & system.

We want the customers to be cognisant of the availability of ready-made pneumatic control panels & systems, hydraulic control panels & system!
