The KISS Principle IIl Hydraulic System
|
Hydraulic
systems are particularly subject to becoming quite complicated due to
the many options and possible hydraulic circuits available. There are a
large number of system providers with good engineers and sales
personnel, all with a fine product and a need to sell for a living.
There becomes a tendency to over design, just to be sure.
Providing
the best combination of hydraulic components capable of performing all
functions required, reliably with a long life and at the lowest overall
cost while remaining easy to service is my goal. I believe that you,
our customer is best served if I follow KISS Principles and provide you
with such a system. After all, if you need to learn about fancy
controls, sensors or electronics to service your new machine, you will
not be focusing on your goal of providing your customers with select
materials at a good profit.
Orbital Action screening plants
employ very simple circuitry, beginning with providing an individual
pump for each primary circuit (working component) of the machine. The
feed hopper and the screen dish have variable volume pumps while the
conveyors have constant volume pumps, all stacked together as a four
pump assembly to be driven with one drive.
Following the pumps,
each of four circuits execute an individual task. The two variable
volume pumps only pump the required volume of oil. The two constant
volume pumps are well balanced to the loads expected. There is no
hydraulic oil being pumped that is not used to power a required
function. No hydraulic power is wasted through pilot circuits,
compensating controls or valves. Heat build up is minimal as nearly all
of the engine power introduced into the system is used to perform work.
Continued next week.
Happy screening,

“The
Finer Cut”, is Brad’s Blog. Each issue will cover a topic of interest
about our machines, our industry, our customers and more. I am excited
about the opportunity to use a Blog to broaden our communications with
our customers and industry. I invite you to return and visit from time
to time, cruising through previous issues to learn many details
regarding our products.
I
also invite you, our reader to contribute by offering your comments.
