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

REM-B Hydraulics developed the powerpacks for international steel building company, Smulders. เกจวัดco2 -contained, remote-controlled hydraulics powerpacks are a safer alternative to lengthy lengths of hydraulic hoses connected to a quayside pump.
Lifting 85m high fabricated turbine bases from the quayside on to a barge for transport offshore requires shackles to attach the turbine base to a three-point lifting frame and crane. Engaging and releasing the shackles is completed utilizing a double performing valve association powered by quayside pump related by lengthy hoses. Smulders was looking for an easier and safer methodology of engaging and releasing the shackles without the need for long hoses.
Attached to each leg of the lifting frame, the REM-B Hydraulics’ system removes the requirement for lengthy hoses through the use of a battery-powered, Enerpac XC pump to operate a bi-directional valve related to a cylinder that moves the pin connecting the shackle. The whole system is contained in a compact metallic case with an exterior aerial linking every 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 equipped with an environment friendly electric motor powered by an industrial grade 28-volt, Lithium-Ion battery, delivering exceptional pace and run time and is designed for distant outdoor areas.
