150kW High-Efficiency HPU for Recycling Baler
Overview
For a leading recycling facility, we delivered a high-efficiency 150kW ECO-DRIVE Hydraulic Power Unit for a recycling baler. We addressing high power demands, variable duty cycles, and strict noise limits. Featuring inverter-driven control, efficient cooling, precision filtration, and PLC integration, the compact system cut energy use by 30%, reduced noise, improved cycle control, and ensured cleaner oil.
The Challenge
High Power Requirement (150kW)
Pressure and flow fluctuations across duty cycles
Demanding operational hours with minimal downtime
Need for smarter energy usage and modern electrical integration
Strict acoustic requirements for the site
Our Solution
