Pig Feeder - hydraulic modification

We received an enquiry regarding the hydraulics on a mobile pig feeder.  Our hydraulics engineer visited the site, where he made up the hydraulic hoses as required and fitted them.  The hydraulic valves were mounted as required.

In order to check the operation of the hydraulic system, our engineer connected his power pack to the machinery.  Once he was satisfied the hydraulic system was operating correctly, the power pack was disconnected and he left the site.

P & R Hydraulics offers an on-site service for customers based in East Anglia because we understand the need to reduce machinery downtime and keep costs to a minimum.  Our hydraulic engineer will travel to site, diagnose the problem and continually communicate with the customer regarding any necessary action.  Where possible a repair will be performed on-site, however, at times it is necessary for a hydraulic unit to be brought back to our in-house workshop for repair and test.

We will consider site visits further afield - please contact our Service Department with details (01603 424880).

Drilling Rig - Hydraulic Fault

Our experienced hydraulic engineer was called out to site to investigate the hydraulic fault on a Hanjin P6000 drilling rig.


He removed the tank top filter lid and found the hydraulic oil to be contaminated with excessive amounts of brass and metal.  The hydraulic pump was disconnected for repair, the hydraulic tank cleaned and all filters removed.  The next job was to remove as much oil from the hydraulic system as possible.  The return filter assembly was cleaned and the return filter and small suction filter were renewed.  He cleaned the large suction

filter, as best possible.  The repaired hydraulic pump was re-installed and re-connected to the hydraulic pipes.



Our engineer left the site when he was satisfied with his work.  The customer was to fill the tank, run and check the hydraulic system.
