REM-B Hydraulics uses Enerpac pump to improve lifting safety

Belgium based mostly REM-B Hydraulics has developed a hydraulic shackle release powerpack primarily based on Enerpac’s cordless XC-Series hydraulic pump for connecting and releasing 1000 tonne, 85 m excessive, offshore wind turbine bases during quayside lifting onto a pontoon.

REM-B Hydraulics developed the powerpacks for worldwide steel construction firm, Smulders. pressure gauge 10 bar -contained, remote-controlled hydraulics powerpacks are a safer alternative to long lengths of hydraulic hoses related to a quayside pump.
Lifting ไดอะแฟรม 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 body and crane. Engaging and releasing the shackles is completed utilizing a double acting valve arrangement powered by quayside pump linked by long hoses. Smulders was looking for a simpler and safer method of engaging and releasing the shackles without the need for lengthy hoses.
Attached to every leg of the lifting frame, the REM-B Hydraulics’ system removes the requirement for lengthy hoses by utilizing a battery-powered, Enerpac XC pump to function a bi-directional valve linked to a cylinder that moves the pin connecting the shackle. The entire system is contained in a compact steel case with an external aerial linking every unit to a wi-fi controller. For increased security, the shackle pins are activated sequentially.
Weighing 9.9 kg, the Enerpac XC-Series hydraulic pump is supplied with an efficient electric motor powered by an industrial grade 28-volt, Lithium-Ion battery, delivering exceptional pace and run time and is designed for remote out of doors locations.
