Eaton reduces delivery time
2nd Quarter 2012
Hydraulic systems & components
To respond to the needs of its Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) customers, Eaton has localised the assembly and testing of its Vickers PVM pump at its Wehrheim facility in Germany. This change has significantly reduced the lead time for the most popular PVM builds when ordered in small or medium quantities.
John Taylor, EMEA product manager for open circuit piston pumps said, “As a result of our ongoing production and supply chain optimisation efforts, we expect to further decrease the delivery time during 2012. Our new supply and service offering enables our customers to react with greater flexibility and speed to the demands of their customers and thus be more competitive.”
Eaton’s Vickers PVM pump is a versatile medium pressure open circuit variable piston pump with displacement between 18 and 141 cm³ aimed at industrial applications up to 280 bar continuous pressure. It is widely used in industrial power units, and it has also been successfully applied to marine and transport applications, where low noise is critical. In addition, its ATEX certification offers the possibility to use the Vickers PVM pump in potentially explosive atmospheres for oil & gas and mining applications.
General manager of Eaton Hydraulics in South Africa, Emil Berning, emphasises the impact this has locally by saying, “These shortened lead times will enhance supply to the local market through Eaton’s distribution partner in Sub-Saharan Africa, BMG Hydraulics. Other services offered by BMG in support of this include local application engineering, testing and technical backup.”
