UNIFLEX, a supplier of greaseless crimpers for hydraulic and industrial hoses, has released a special model, the HM 400 which, due to its huge opening travel of 130mm, enables insertion and crimping of hoses with a 6" ANSI 150 flange. It also features an innovative, narrow and yet robust design with integrated hydraulic aggregate and proven Control C control. The HM 400 aims to set high stan- dards for quality, economic efficiency and ergonomic operations and is one of the classic production crimpers combin- ing all the properties expected from this machine category in an efficient manner. The optimised hydraulic system only re- quires a 5.5kW drive (7.37PS) and thus helps to save electricity and, as a result, operating costs. Because of this the HM 400 – like all hydraulic crimpers with slide bearing technology from Uniflex – requires no greasing. The machine

inserted and crimped without removing the crimping dies. The maximum crimp range is approximately 190mm (7.48"). Quick-change crimping dies reduce the setting time and increase productivity thanks to the fixed 6 o’clock die and the Control C2 control provided as standard. The HM 400, with its high level of ergonomic features and reliability, offers excellent performance and quality. All machines and accessories from Uniflex are optimally paired and come in the original long-life Uniflex quality.
