Hydraulic Brake Presses and Benders 

A press brake, also known as a brake press, is a machine tool used for bending steel and other non ferrous metal sheet and plate material.  Brake presses are most commonly used for bending sheet metal.  The Press Brake forms the required bend by clamping the material or work piece between a matching punch and die. Quite complex and attractive three dimensional shapes can be created using these machines. 

Hydraulic Punch

Hydraulic punch presses, is a type of machine press used to cut holes in material.  It can be small and manually operated and hold one simple die set, or be large, and computer controlled, with a multi-station turret holding  much larger and complex die sets.

Hydraulic punch presses use high pressure oil to actuate a large cylinder rather than a flywheel.  They are either valve controlled or valve with limit switch and or pressure switch control.  Limit switch systems allow the ram to be controlled to within fixed points as commanded.  This allows greater control over the stroke of the ram, and increases punching rates as the ram no longer has to complete a full stroke up and down but can operate within a very short stroke length.

High Pressure Water Blasting, Cleaning  Machinery

High-pressure cleaning or water blasting, uses water pumped to high pressures and then ejected out of specially formed nozzles at at high speeds and sometimes at high temperatures. The velocity and temperature is used to clean surfaces of most loose materials as well as paint and adhesives.  By focusing the pressurised water stream, the forces generated can be quite aggressive, even stone sand and rubber from highways and runways, sealants and membranes from concrete and chewing gum from footpaths.

We have also assisted in the design supply and installation of high pressure electric and gasoline pumps, stainless steel piping and distribution systems for food manufacturing as well as the cleaning of marine vessels, Plumbing, Drain Cleaning and Clearing, Pipe relining and Building industries.

Roll Forming

Roll forming, also spelled roll-forming, is a continuous bending operation in which a long strip of sheet metal usually in the form of coiled galvanized steel is passed through sets of rolls mounted on consecutive frames or stands, each set performing only an incremental part of the bend, until the desired cross-section profile is obtained. Roll forming is ideal for producing constant profile parts in long lengths and in medium to high quantities.  Mobile Hose Fixers and Hydraulics have supplied Hydraulic Components,  motors, hoses and custom cylinders for this specialised field.

Brewery, Food Processing and Filling 

The process required for the manufacture of food products for the Australian consumer are some of the most stringent in the world. 

Chemically resistant, inert and non toxic materials must be used in all areas where the is contact with food. 

At the same time, Food acids, fats, sugars and salts  are also some of the most aggressive and or abrasive chemicals around.  Therefore careful selection of the correct materials is essential for durability and safety.

Hydraulics is predominantly used in Mixing systems, Filling systems, and Liquid pressure Injection systems.

Concrete Cutting

A concrete saw also known as a con-saw or road saw) is a usually a fuel powered tool for cutting through concrete, bricks, tile, asphalt or any other solid material.  It can be a small and hand held unit or a larger walk behind motorized saw.  Usually the hand held units are powered by a remote hydraulic power pack.  This makes the saws particularly powerful and yet quite compact.  The saw blades used on concrete saws are often composite diamond Blades

Thin Abrasive wheels can also be used on cut-off saws to cut stone and steel. The friction generated in cutting hard substances like concrete usually requires the blades to be cooled to prolong their life and reduce dust.

Injection Moulding (Plastic and Materials)

Injection moulding is a manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting material into a mould.  Injection moulding can be performed with a host of materials, including metals, glass, elastomers, plastics, confections, polymers.  Material for the part is fed into a heated barrel, mixed, and forced into a mould cavity by a specially machined hardened steel screw, where it cools and hardens to the configuration of the cavity.

 Aluminium and iron casting / Foundries

We have supplied high pressure magnetic (induction) resistant hoses to foundries that produce iron and aluminium metal castings.  Metals are cast into shapes by melting them into a liquid, pouring the metal in a mold, and removing the mold material or casting after the metal has solidified as it cools.
