If it should be tailor-made, it will be!
Andreas Voss looks at the benefits of customised piping solutions. B
etter operating performance, streamlined design for tight access areas, delivery times as short as possible – hydraulic equipment manufacturers are confronted with all these constantly increasing
requirements for improving the efficiency of their hydraulic systems. And all this at a time when cost pressures are already high and even increasing. With its Complete Piping Solution System,
Parker can now offer designers an interesting solution for these challenges. Higher pressure is associated with this demand for improved hydraulic system efficiency and higher pressure in turn implies systems that are reliable. On this point, Parker can assure users that all its fittings and flange components are designed as standard with a safety
factor of 4. Moreover, these products have been certified by the leading classification societies. After detailed discussions with the
customer, Parker engineers develop a design that accommodates tight installation space, or recommend to the user the adoption of special components such as blocks or manifolds. Te object of the exercise is to significantly reduce the number of individual components. As and when they are required, the customer can put together the appropriate construction blocks from the Complete Piping Solution System. Tis makes it possible for Parker to deliver installation- ready piping systems and kits. Installation times are substantially reduced with these pre-manufactured components. To avert the risk of machine down-
