Belgium 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 1000 tonne, eighty five m excessive, offshore wind turbine bases throughout quayside lifting onto a pontoon.

REM-B Hydraulics developed the powerpacks for international metal development company, Smulders. The self-contained, remote-controlled hydraulics powerpacks are a safer different to long lengths of hydraulic hoses related to a quayside pump.
Lifting เกจวัดแรงดันpressuregauge fabricated turbine bases from the quayside on to a barge for shipping 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 much less complicated 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 long hoses by utilizing a battery-powered, Enerpac XC pump to function a bi-directional valve connected to a cylinder that strikes the pin connecting the shackle. The complete system is contained in a compact steel case with an exterior aerial linking each unit to a wi-fi controller. For elevated security, the shackle pins are activated sequentially.
Weighing 9.9 kg, the Enerpac XC-Series hydraulic pump is equipped with an efficient electric motor powered by an industrial grade 28-volt, Lithium-Ion battery, delivering distinctive pace and run time and is designed for remote out of doors areas.
