products & developments Voss extends offering for OEMs and dealers

Hose lines are an important part of hydraulic systems. The Voss Fluid product range covers the entire spectrum of conventional hydraulic hose lines, including fittings up to 2" and all pressure ranges. All of the company’s components, including hose fittings, are equipped with a long-term corrosion protection zinc-nickel coating. Hose fittings with tear-off protection provide a high degree of safety in sensitive pressure areas. Voss Fluid is also expanding its consulting services, so customers can increase productivity in purchasing. The company provides advice on installing lines and designing hydraulic circuits, discloses savings potential by means of cost-benefit analyses, and supports customer-site installation by providing further educational measures and practical training programmes on site. The company directly supports the OEM market in the assembly of components. For example, Voss assembly kits contain individually combined components as pre-sorted material, fully in compliance with the respective production step. In addition, the company takes care of the pre-assembly of individual components, upon request, and supplies them as a ready-to-install system.

Pre-assembled tube geometries, assembled hose lines, tube fittings and flange couplings, hose fittings, measurement connections and accessories are all now offered by Voss Fluid from a single source. In its new tube competence centre in Germany, Voss Fluid processes thick- and thin-walled hydraulic lines with lengths of up to 6m and an outer diameter of up to 60mm, precisely in line with customer specifications. The lines are manufactured on the basis of an exact copy of existing tubes, or based on a sample or directly from design drawings. Customers can choose from tubes made of steel or stainless steel, or steel tubes with an organic corrosion coating.

Voss Fluid has extended its service range and now, in addition to hydraulic coupling technology, also offers customised tubes and hoses, as well as a wide variety of accessory components. As a result, the company can now serve OEMs and dealers of fluid technology more efficiently and extensively. Within the framework of programme extensions, central service offerings ranging from consulting and pre- assembly to logistics have been further strengthened. With this extended solution offering, customers are able to standardise the quality of their hydraulic systems and reduce their number of suppliers.

The pre-assembly of tube geometries is a new, extended service offering from Voss Fluid

Molecor launches DN125mm orientated PVC pipe

The molecular orientation process is claimed to provide the TOM ® pipe with improved mechanical and hydraulic characteristics compared to other materials. These include higher hydraulic capacity, enabling the conveyance of greater volumes of water for the same diameter; lightness, removing the need for machinery for large diameters, and being easily manipulated and installed up to DN 250mm; and better behaviour with regard to water hammer.

The pipe system being fully watertight prevents leakages and head losses, which result in a decrease of the volume of supplied water. These characteristics provide solutions to optimise the available hydraulic resources and to reduce the energy costs and hydraulic infrastructures.

Molecor has launched orientated PVC pipe in a new DN125mm dimension, increasing the possibilities of network design, with diameters that ensure effective pressure and required flow. The company has already pioneered the manufacture of orientated PVC pipes of DN500, 630 and 800mm, and is committed to innovation, research and development to provide solutions and meet the challenges presented by the water supply market.
