Hydraulic and Automation Warehouse (HAW) has expanded its hose crimper offering with the addition of the Uniflex UG32 grease crimper to its range. The UG32 launch was preceded by the arrival of UG20 grease crimper. Both of these are manufactured specifically for the southern African market by Uniflex-Hydraulik in Germany.
The UG20 grease crimper, which weighs 160 kg, is designed to crimp four-wire hoses from 6,35 to 32 mm and the 200 kg UG32 is tailored to crimp from 6,35 to 51 mm four-wire hoses.
Each crimper comes standard with a quick-die-change tool, facilitating easier changes of the crimpers’ die sets. This is a significant contributor to mass hose production.
Johannesburg branch manager, Neville Alberts says that being a German-manufactured product, the associated quality and reliability are a given, and both units are more cost-effective than those offered by competitors. “Another advantage of this unique range,” he points out, “is the fact that our quick-die-change tool is included in the unit price. There is already large demand for these crimpers. Now, with the Group’s drive into Africa, we feel that this demand will increase substantially.”
