REM-B Hydraulics makes use of Enerpac pump to enhance lifting security

Belgium primarily based REM-B Hydraulics has developed a hydraulic shackle release powerpack primarily based on Enerpac’s cordless XC-Series hydraulic pump for connecting and releasing one thousand tonne, 85 m excessive, offshore wind turbine bases during quayside lifting onto a pontoon.

REM-B Hydraulics developed the powerpacks for international steel construction company, Smulders. เกจวัดแรงดันไนโตรเจน -contained, remote-controlled hydraulics powerpacks are a safer different to long lengths of hydraulic hoses related to a quayside pump.
Lifting 85m high fabricated turbine bases from the quayside on to a barge for transport offshore requires shackles to connect the turbine base to a three-point lifting frame and crane. Engaging and releasing the shackles is finished utilizing a double acting valve arrangement powered by quayside pump related by lengthy hoses. Smulders was in search of a simpler and safer methodology of partaking and releasing the shackles with out the need for lengthy hoses.
Attached to each leg of the lifting frame, the REM-B Hydraulics’ system removes the requirement for lengthy hoses by using a battery-powered, Enerpac XC pump to function a bi-directional valve connected to a cylinder that moves the pin connecting the shackle. The complete system is contained in a compact metallic case with an exterior aerial linking each unit to a wireless controller. For increased security, the shackle pins are activated sequentially.
Weighing 9.9 kg, the Enerpac XC-Series hydraulic pump is provided with an environment friendly electric motor powered by an industrial grade 28-volt, Lithium-Ion battery, delivering exceptional speed and run time and is designed for remote outdoor locations.
