Hytec Group and Bosch Rexroth to join forces at Electra Mining

H ydraulic & Automation Ware- house (HAW), the master and authorised distributor for hy- draulic equipment manufactur- ers OMT and Salami respective- ly in sub-Saharan Africa, will showcase these product ranges at the exhibition. The Salami ranges include gear pumps and motors, load sensing valves and manual control valves while OMT’s range of hydraulic acces- sories includes bell housings, drive couplings and level gauges. These new hydraulic offer- ings complement HAW’s already extensive range of products and accessories for mobile hydraulic machines, which will also be on dis- play at the exhibition. The group’s hydraulic fluid specialist, Hytec Fluid Technology (HFT), will be displaying mobile filtration kits. These kits are used by major OEMs. The Hy-Pro Bulk Diesel Filtration Test Rig will also be featured at the stand. This test rig is Hy-Pro’s coalescing/separator tech- nology that removes water and dirt from diesel. A range of hydraulic filtration products and fluid cooling systems will also be exhibited. In addition to the latest hydraulic systems and components and advanced pump and motor refurbishment capabilities, Hytec will display a Hydrostatic Drive Unit. The unit, equipped with hose connections, will dem- onstrate its various control functions for all mobile applications. Hytec Engineering will have on show its cylinder repairs ‘before and after’ units as well as a range of newly manufactured cylinders Africa and Hytec Engineering – all part of the Hytec Group of Compa- nies – will be collaborating at Elec- tra Mining Africa 2016.
