Dynatest’s new HPIC boosts hydraulic power

Finnish hydraulic power specialist Dynatest launched the HPIC (hydraulic pressure intensifier for cylinders) at INTERMAT 2015. Aimed at hydraulic demolition tools, it boosts power by a factor of 2.18. “We have designed it for crushers which need power to crack the concrete,” explains area sales manager Hughes Lambert. “That’s when you need the additional power.” Dynatest is aiming the new product at manufacturers of heavy duty demolition tools.

Finnish hydraulic power specialist 2597 Dynatest launched the HPIC (hydraulic pressure intensifier for cylinders) at INTERMAT 2015. Aimed at hydraulic demolition tools, it boosts power by a factor of 2.18.

“We have designed it for crushers which need power to crack the concrete,” explains area sales manager Hughes Lambert.  “That’s when you need the additional power.”
Dynatest is aiming the new product at manufacturers of heavy duty demolition tools. Since the HPIC boosts the pressure, any machinery will need to be designed with seals that can take the higher pressure - rather than retrofitting to existing kit.

The company also manufactures the HPI (hydraulic pressure intensifier) which can be used for a wide range of applications. “The HPI is for any application when you need to increase the hydraulic pressure,” explains Lambert. “It could be the bucket of an excavator for example. It’s like growing bigger muscles for humans.”

Dynatest, which recently re-engineered its entire portfolio of products to create its Blue Hydraulic range, provides hydraulic energy for construction machines through compressors, hydraulically-driven generators and high pressure water pumps. “If you have a working machine with hydraulics inside, you can connect a generator, a compressor, a pump to get a different kind of energy from the machine,” says Lambert. “You might want to have on-board high-pressure cleaning or to power electrical tools on site.”

Though it works largely with OEMs, Dynatest also has a global reseller network for installing its kit on machines which have not been equipped with it at the factory. It exports 85% of its products to customers who are usually in highly industrialised countries in Europe, the Far East, Asia and North America.

    The mini and midi excavator sector continues to squeeze more out of less, with some innovative engineering solutions being applied to zero- and short-tailswing models - Geoff Ashcroft investigates. It is a vicious circle - customers seek smaller, tighter, ever more compact excavators, leaving manufacturers with the challenges of squeezing greater levels of technology into what is all too often an even smaller machine.

    New technology and reduced machine emissions were amongst the key topics at the CEA conference in London - Mike Woof writes. Construction machine manufacturers are going to have to find new solutions if targets on emissions controls are going to be met. This is a clear viewpoint for the industry. But as the speakers at the recent CEA conference in London showed, there are differing opinions on how that will be achieved and what technical solutions will come to the fore.

    US and European asphalt paving needs are different, but some firms are bridging that gap, reports Mike Woof. With a clear differentiation between the US and European asphalt paving markets, manufacturers from the latter are now developing machines aimed at the former. The US and European markets for paving machines have developed along very different lines. North American pavers are designed for high throughputs and high paving rates, having been designed to meet a need to build roads over long distances wi
