Cylinders - Import export

Many laboratory and industrial processes require a constant flow of gas to be delivered, and this is normally supplied from pressurised cylinders containing gas in liquid phase. If the level of liquid reduces fast, frosting can occur on the surface of the cylinder and flow rates can be adversely affected. Our gentle and insulated heating solutions can prevent this phenomenon and restore stability to the flow rate. This is particularly important when using calibration gases where repeatability is vital. Note that separate over-pressure safety systems should always be in place to meet health and safety requirements. We can design jackets for most cylinder sizes, with our standard “HHG” being a popular size normally available for immediate delivery.

With any filling device, a range of accessories can help produce a more efficient fill during maintenance tasks. EMT can supply a range of heated blankets and regulators to ensure if manually filling, the chances of a line freeze are reduced. Typically 20-25% of SF6 is wasted due to temperatures and pressures keeping the SF6 liquified. Our cylinder heater blankets evaporate the gas, increasing the efficiency of the cylinder, to ensure the maximum amount of SF6 can be recovered. This amounts to significant savings on maintenance costs.

Gidrolast specialises in the design and manufacture of both Single Acting and Double Acting Telescopic Hydraulic Cylinders. We build both standard catalogue telescopic designs as well as custom application engineered telescopic cylinders. Often a hydraulic cylinder is required to fit into a very tight space and yet provide a stroke that is actually longer than its fully retracted length. A standard rod cylinder cannot do this. A telescopic cylinder, however, can achieve a very long stroke from a compact retracted length. Telescopic cylinders use a series of nested tubular segments sliding within one another (see diagram below). This enables them to provide a very long output stroke from a very short retracted length in one combined actuator. These cylinders are available in 2, 3, 4, 5, or even 6 stages. Most telescoping cylinders are single acting. That means that they extend using hydraulic pressure but then retract using gravity and the mass of the load.

Metallurgical equipment all endure heavy-duty service under very demanding environmental conditions. Equipment is subjected to moisture, dirt, saw dust, wood chips, sap and tar and slamming loads. The hydraulic cylinders used on that equipment must meet these challenges day after day. Gidrolast has over 15 decades of experience building hydraulic cylinders for this tough industry. In fact, you could say we cut our teeth in the forestry industry. For our customers, that experience is invaluable. Gidrolast designs cylinders that are able to endure the difficult conditions that metallurgical machinery encounters on a daily basis.

Mining equipment is continually subjected to tortuous conditions that punish hydraulic cylinders. These gruelling conditions include dust, grit, heat, cold and moisture. In addition, the equipment is subject to slamming loads and mechanical impacts. Gidrolast designs and manufactures heavy-duty hydraulic cylinders that endure these very difficult conditions. Gidrolast cylinders can be found on hydraulic equipment in surface and sub-surface mining operations all around the globe. They are installed on dredgers, hydraulic shovels, dump trucks, oversized off-road equipment, tunnel boring machines, ore haulers, ore crushers and aggregate conveyors, to name but a few. We manufacture both rod cylinders and telescopic cylinders, double and single action, in sizes from 12mm (1/2″) up to 700mm (28″) bore. Call us to find out why mining equipment OEM’s around the world depend on Gidrolast cylinders.

Military and Naval equipment has some of the most demanding specifications and requirements of any machinery. It has to. Lives depend on it. From the frozen arctic tundra to hot humid jungles, from arid sand-blown deserts to the windswept salt spray of the oceans, military equipment is exposed to every conceivable environment on the planet. Military hardware is often stored unused for months or years at a time, but then must be ready to move and operate at a moment’s notice. The hydraulic cylinders used in this equipment must be of the very best quality. Gidrolast makes them. Gidrolast cylinders are carefully designed and engineered, using only the finest construction materials, and are precision-manufactured with cutting edge industrial equipment. The result is cylinders that meet the toughest military and naval specifications.

Gidrolast knows heavy trucks. We cut our teeth building hydraulic cylinders for heavy trucks all the way back in 1993. Hydraulic cylinders on trucks are subjected to all forms of contamination that would destroy a poorly designed cylinder. Dirt, grit, rain, salt, tar, chemicals, solvents and cleaning agents all combine to attack the cylinder and its seals. Despite all this, the cylinders are still expected to perform. Cylinder failure means downtime, employee overtime, loss of vehicle availability, less productivity and reduced profit. Gidrolast cylinders are built tough to meet these conditions. They can be found mounted on garbage trucks, dump trucks, belly dumpers, semi end dumpers, boom trucks, knuckle boom loaders, road pavers, concrete mixers, concrete pumps, mobile cranes, tilt beds and tow trucks. Applications include dump cylinders, aerial boom cylinders, compaction cylinders, outrigger cylinders, tilt cylinders, swing cylinders, plough lift cylinders, and more.

Gidrolast got its start in building rugged hydraulic cylinders for use on heavy trucks in the waste management industry way back in 1994. That means we know first-hand what is required to build cylinders that will tough it out in this industry. So whether the cylinder is operating the gate on a garbage truck or the grapple in a scrap metal yard, the compactor on a scrap baler or lifting the blade of a bulldozer in a land fill site, Gidrolast cylinders are built to last. Both OEMs and end users around the world appreciate the rugged reliability built into each of our cylinders. Careful, experienced design is combined with high-quality manufacturing to make our Gidrolast hydraulic cylinders the cylinders of choice in waste management and recycling equipment. It’s not hard to see why tough, reliable cylinders are required in the waste management and recycling industry, as these pictures clearly testify. Hydraulic cylinders are shown in action in a scrap metal yard above.

Hydraulic cylinders used on shipboard machinery or in shipyards must endure the toughest of conditions, including hot and cold temperature extremes, exposure to salt water, driving rain, ice, as well as dirt and many other forms of contamination. That is an extremely abusive environment for hydraulic actuators. Cylinders used under these conditions must be designed and manufactured with these well in mind if they are to survive and work reliably. In addition, many hydraulic cylinders used on ships and harbour cranes are very large-bore and very long-stroke. Their large size makes frequent repair or replacement simply out of the question. Other marine cylinders are mounted in a ship’s machinery that is very difficult to reach. All these factors makes reliability a primary concern for marine cylinders. Gidrolast has a great deal of experience in building marine-grade hydraulic cylinders that thrive under those trying conditions.

Fork lift trucks, pallet loaders, conveyors, cranes, and so on. These machines are at the heart of any facility moving materials and products. These machines also depend on the power of hydraulic cylinders to do their work. That means that the cylinders have to be reliable. A failure means loss of production and profit. At Gidrolast, we appreciate that. We build our cylinders to last with precision machining and using heavy-duty seals and bearings. Our factory uses the latest high-technology production methods including robotic welders, friction welders and skive roller burnishing. Our quality control methods are the best in the business. And to cap it off, all of our cylinders are 100% pressure tested before they leave our factory. That means that our customers are 100% confident when they mount a Gidrolast mast cylinder into the bowels of their fork lift truck or assemble a lift cylinder under a heavy-duty conveyor.

From the sticky tar sands of Uzbekistan and the frozen windswept wastelands of Ural to arid, sun -leached Texas and the sizzling hot deserts of Saudi Arabia; from the warmth of the Caspian sea to the cold salt spray of the ocean, Gidrolast hydraulic cylinders are the actuators of choice in the gruelling oil field industry, both onshore and offshore. Oil rigs are located in some of the most demanding locations in the world. Blowing sand, sticky tar, extremes of hot and cold temperatures, corrosive elements and heavy-duty use. The cylinders used are often large-bore and long-stroke. Downtime is measured in millions of dollars. In addition to all that, the equipment is often located in remote areas far from civilization. Rugged, reliable cylinders are a must. Gidrolast designs and builds heavy-duty hydraulic cylinders, both rod style and telescopic, to withstand the tough conditions and demanding requirements of the petroleum industry.

The Advance Solar EnergyManager is a tried and tested thermal store design with an internal heat exchanger and shunt pump arrangement resulting in delivery of hot water equivalent to the volume of the tank at 43ºC. The solar version has a dedicated solar coil which reduces energy bills and reliance on fossil fuel. The solar thermal panels will contribute to heating and hot water during periods of solar gain. The shunt pump is pre fitted and wired to activate when taps or showers are turned on. The EnergyManager comes as shown above with wiring centre for installers to complete the wiring for the rest of the system. Full instructions for wiring the total system are included. At 65ºC operation the EnergyManager is perfect for underfloor or low temperature radiator circuits and offers efficiencies due to the temperature being lower than most thermal stores. As a thermal store it can reduce boiler cycling and act as a buffer for heating.

Use these Advance Thermal Stores for the provision of fast, safe hot water provision throughout the house. They work on the thermal store principle of storing central heating water and providing mains fed hot water via a powerful coil for power showering and quick bath filling. The coil is not pumped. The thermal store acts as a buffer for fast radiator heat up and boiler efficiency. The direct pattern cylinder (TSDC) without the integrated feed and expansion tank has to be fed with a remote F and E tank sited above the highest point of the radiator circuit. You need two pumps - one for the boiler to keep the store hot - controlled by the thermostat on the store, and one for the heating circuit - controlled by the room thermostat and heating programmer. These low maintenance pre plumbed units provide flow rates up to 30 litres per minute and if linked to the appropriate gas, oil, solid fuel or biomass(except Heat Pumps) are suitable for average to larger properties

The HETAS listed SFUTS pre plumbed pre wired Universal Thermal Store has been designed to link a number of heat sources including gas or oil boilers, wood burners, and solar thermal or PV as well as electric and other inputs. Hot water is safely delivered at mains pressure through a large integral coil for fast bath filling and power showering without a pump. In summer the solar coil, if utilised, will provide most of your hot water needs. In the winter the wood burner, when lit, will handle most of the heating and hot water duties. Central heating is taken from the store which acts as a buffer for fast radiator or under floor heat up. The store is kept hot by the energy inputs controlled by thermostats. Because the unit is a sealed system it is fine for under floor systems. The primaries are 28mm and can be teed off for two separate circuits if required.
