Hydraulic power unit for material discharge in the fibre cement industry

Hydraulische groep kiepbak

DV Hydraulics designed and built a hydraulic power unit for a discharge function in the fibre cement industry, intended for the controlled material discharge via a tipping hopper onto a conveyor belt. This hydraulic installation was fully engineered and manufactured to measure, with a focus on simplicity, robustness and a short delivery time.

By using standardized and normalized components, the system is reliable, easy to maintain and suitable for long-term operation in demanding industrial production environments.


Technical specifications of the installation:

  • 5.5 kW electric motor

  • 14 cc external gear pump

  • Nickel-plated manifold block for increased corrosion resistance

  • NG06 valves compliant with ISO standards

  • Return and breather filters for safe and efficient maintenance

  • Hydraulic cylinder with 100 mm bore, 60 mm rod and 800 mm stroke, equipped with load-holding valves

  • Hydraulic hoses with abrasion protection for extended service life

  • Design focused on long service life and ease of service


By equipping the hydraulic cylinder with load-holding valves, the load can be moved in a controlled and safe manner during the discharge process. This hydraulic power unit was delivered plug & play with complete technical documentation.
