Belgium primarily based REM-B Hydraulics has developed a hydraulic shackle release powerpack based on Enerpac’s cordless XC-Series hydraulic pump for connecting and releasing 1000 tonne, eighty five m high, offshore wind turbine bases during quayside lifting onto a pontoon.

REM-B Hydraulics developed the powerpacks for international metal building company, Smulders. The self-contained, remote-controlled hydraulics powerpacks are a safer various to long lengths of hydraulic hoses linked to a quayside pump.
Lifting 85m high fabricated turbine bases from the quayside on to a barge for transport offshore requires shackles to connect the turbine base to a three-point lifting body and crane. Engaging and releasing the shackles is completed using a double performing valve association powered by quayside pump connected by long hoses. เกจวัดแรงดันลมคือ was in search of an easier and safer methodology of participating and releasing the shackles without the necessity for long hoses.
Attached to every leg of the lifting frame, the REM-B Hydraulics’ system removes the requirement for lengthy hoses by using a battery-powered, Enerpac XC pump to function a bi-directional valve connected to a cylinder that strikes the pin connecting the shackle. The entire system is contained in a compact metal case with an exterior aerial linking each unit to a wireless controller. For elevated security, the shackle pins are activated sequentially.
Weighing 9.9 kg, the Enerpac XC-Series hydraulic pump is provided with an environment friendly electric motor powered by an industrial grade 28-volt, Lithium-Ion battery, delivering distinctive pace and run time and is designed for distant outdoor locations.
