Manifold Blocks
-
System manifold blocks
In Systems Engineering, project methods are used to design client-specific solutions in the form of manifold control blocks. These are mainly used in mobile equipment for agriculture and municipal services, in road-building and construction machines, as well as in renewable energy systems such as wind turbines or solar power plants. The manifold blocks, in steel or aluminium design, offer maximum functionality in a very small space.
Monoblock designsValve combinations in monoblock construction consist of a single, heavy-duty, cast body that is designed for high working pressures. Thanks to the wide selections of spools, types of operators, types of hand levers, and auxiliary valves such as secondary pressure relief, anti-cavitation make-up, pressure control, flow control and check, these are particularly suited for use in complex applications where small installation dimensions are vitally important.
Specific applications
Custom Solutions
-
Custom solutions are often based on new developments and require close cooperation between the development department and the customer. This calls for direct contact between the customer and the Competence Center.
PistenBully Example: Expert Hydraulics
The red snow groomers from Kässbohrer are a familiar sight in ski resorts. Under the hood are nine of our LCV series valves.
Our proportional, ultra-responsive hydraulic control system in the PistenBully implements the driver's commands quickly and accurately, no matter how heavy the load of snow in front of the plow blade. Development covered the entire hydraulic system, consisting of a 12-way plow blade, rear cutter, winch and fan control.
Drivers and service technicians set the requirements for the development of this new subsystem. The PistenBully 600 shows just what it is capable of in very demanding, extreme weather conditions.
