CASE STUDY · REFURBISHMENT
A practical press refurbishment combining hydraulic cylinder work, modified pipework, guarding and a complete industrial refinish.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The press was stripped down and cleaned to provide a clear starting point for the refurbishment work.
The hydraulic cylinders were resealed, modified pipework was installed and light guards were fitted as part of the refurbishment.
The completed press was finished with a two-pack epoxy paint system.
THE CHALLENGE
The work involved more than cleaning and repainting. The hydraulic cylinders needed resealing, the pipework required modification, and light guards were fitted before the final finish was applied.
OUR APPROACH
Active Hydraulics treated the press as a complete refurbishment project, carrying out the hydraulic repair work alongside the mechanical modifications and final coating so the machine could be returned as a coherent finished assembly.
ENGINEERING FOCUS
The engineering focus covered the systems and physical condition that affect the press in service, including cylinder sealing, pipework routing, light guarding and the final protective finish.
THE RESULT
The completed refurbishment addressed the hydraulic cylinders, pipework and guarding while also restoring the overall appearance of the press.
The final two-pack epoxy coating completed the workshop refurbishment and provided a consistent industrial finish.
