Hytec Engineering improves cylinder castings quality
3rd Quarter 2015
News & events
Hytec Engineering has appointed ACO Casting Services SA, the South African arm of the German continuous castings specialist, ACO Group, as its cylinder castings supplier. The decision to change castings suppliers will enable Hytec Engineering to raise the standard of its cylinder castings to international levels, a level already attained by ACO Eurobar, the brand name marketed by the ACO Group.
The high quality castings are supplied unfinished from Germany, with all machining done in South Africa by ACO Casting Services with strict adherence to Hytec Engineering specifications. ACO recently established its South African facility in Germiston, where consignment is held and machining carried out. “The higher quality castings are available with immediate effect,” says Pierre Goosen, general manager of Hytec Engineering. “ACO Casting Services is holding consignment stock to agreed levels – some in raw casting format and the remainder pre-machined.”
Negotiations for the supplier appointment focused around supply, delivery, price and stockholding, as the inherent quality in the ACO Group’s casting products was already well established. “ACO Eurobar satisfies the highest quality specifications in the hydraulics industry,” explains Goosen. He adds that the ACO Group and ACO Eurobar quality levels are acceptable to Bosch Rexroth in Germany, and this is one of the reasons why ACO is their preferred supplier. “In fact, this proven technology was jointly developed with Bosch Rexroth,” he adds.
Goosen says that with ACO Casting Services a consistent supply of quality castings will enhance Hytec Engineering’s cylinder production, a benefit which will be passed on to its clients.
