Hydraulic Power Unit for Extrusion and Industrial Drive Systems

CMH designs and manufactures custom hydraulic power units for industrial machines and systems where reliability, control and operational continuity are essential requirements.

CMH designs and manufactures custom hydraulic power units for industrial machines and systems where reliability, control and operational continuity are essential requirements.

This unit was developed for an application in the field of industrial drive systems dedicated to extrusion, an environment characterised by complex machinery, demanding production cycles and the need to keep numerous auxiliary functions under control.

The power unit was engineered around the specific requirements of the machine and configured to integrate into the production process through stable, reliable and easily controllable hydraulic management.

CMH custom hydraulic power unit for extrusion and industrial drive systems

A hydraulic system engineered around the machine

In industrial applications of this level, a hydraulic power unit cannot be regarded as a simple assembly of components.

Correct operation stems from the coordinated sizing of the reservoir, pumps, valve blocks, filtration, control instruments and safety devices.

Each element must contribute to a precise objective: supplying the machine with hydraulic energy under the required conditions, while ensuring smooth operation and long-term reliability.

For this reason CMH develops every system starting from the real cycle of the machine, the required functions and the expected operating conditions.

Control and reliability in industrial applications

Systems intended for the extrusion and industrial drive sector may operate for extended periods and within processes where production continuity plays a decisive role.

The design of the power unit must therefore account not only for nominal performance, but also for the stability of the system throughout the entire work cycle.

A correct configuration makes it possible to achieve:

Custom hydraulic power units

One of the main advantages of a custom-designed power unit is the ability to fully adapt the system architecture to the requirements of the machine.

Layout, valve blocks, reservoir capacity, filtration systems, sensors, pressure switches and control components are selected according to the application, rather than adapted afterwards from a standard configuration.

This results in a more rational system, easily accessible for maintenance and consistent with the spaces and operating modes of the machine.

Hydraulics for the extrusion sector

The extrusion sector uses drive systems designed to handle high loads and continuous industrial cycles. Gearboxes are used, among others, on single-screw extruders, co-rotating and counter-rotating twin-screw extruders and on injection moulding machines.

In this context, hydraulic systems can perform essential complementary functions within the machine or the production process.

The ability to design the power unit around the specific application allows CMH to supply systems suited even to complex installations, where precision, reliability and operational continuity must be guaranteed over time.

Design, manufacturing and testing

Every CMH hydraulic power unit is the result of a process that includes application analysis, hydraulic schematic design, component selection, manufacturing and final testing.

The goal is not simply to build a hydraulic power pack, but to provide the machine with a system sized to correctly perform its work under the expected operating conditions.

Designed. Built. Tested in Italy.
