Hydraulic systems & components
Hyflo’s extensive range of fluid power products includes hydraulic crimping equipment and tooling, designed for the efficient manufacture of factory quality hose assemblies. The Parker Parkrimp and Karrykrimp hydraulic crimping equipment enables customers to manufacture hose to precise specifications quickly, easily and cost-effectively.
The Parkrimp 2, the largest machine in Parker’s crimper range, is available in single or three phase options. It requires no calibration and is simple to operate. This versatile crimper can crimp straight or bent-stem steel and stainless steel fittings, from 0,6 to 5 cm diameter. The robust machines are suitable for high volume productivity, as well as portable, onsite assembly.
Karrykrimp 2 models are portable or bench-mount crimpers that can crimp Parkrimp style straight or bent-stem stainless and stainless steel fittings up to 3 cm in diameter. The modular design gives users the flexibility of a portable crimper, with the advantages of increased productivity when connected to the stationary power unit. Increased height enables longer bent tube fittings to be crimped.
Parker’s Parkalign system positions the fitting securely in the die to ensure a perfect crimp to the exact diameter required. The efficient bottom-loading design enables operators to manage long hose assemblies easily and linked dies prevent segments from being misplaced or mismatched. Dies are colour-coded by size for easy identification and reduced setup time. These crimping systems are suitable for use in diverse industries, including general industry, mining, construction and civil engineering, transportation and automotive, machine tools, materials handing, oil field services and marine and shipping.
