AAK Hydraulic Manifold Reduce Energy Consumption by 20%

Timothy is from a Greek hydraulic equipment company, and has been in the
company for 5 years. At the beginning of this year, they launched a new
hydraulic injection molding machine, focusing on energy-saving and consumption
reduction. The hydraulic manifold for the machine is designed internally by
them, and they chose a hydraulic manifold manufacturer who has cooperated for 3
years to try samples. Although the equipment debugging is smooth, the energy
consumption has not been significantly improved. Timothy guessed that the
hydraulic manifold was not efficient, but he had no idea about optimization.
The hydraulic manifold manufacturer has solution neither. Timothy also tried to
contact more than 10 hydraulic manifold manufacturers. They either have no
reply or have to find out the reason during sampling. With promoting date
approaching, the whole team was very anxious.

At Google, Timothy browsed AAK's webpage, noticed a series of articles on
hydraulic manifolds, and left a message with 3 questions:
1. Does AAK have the original design capability of hydraulic manifolds?
2. What customers does AAK hydraulic manifolds supply to?
3. How long does it take for AAK to customize a set of hydraulic manifold?

I felt that this is a customer with a real order, and advised that some of AAK
hydraulic manifolds are customized according to the customer's drawings, some
are designed according to the customer's equipment working conditions, and also
helped new customers solve some difficult and complicated cases of hydraulic
manifolds. Honeywell is AAK's hydraulic manifold customer for 6 consecutive
years.

On the second day, Timothy sent us the original design drawings of hydraulic
manifold, equipment working conditions, testing videos, and the original
manufacturer's hydraulic manifold pictures. I knew that this was a matter of
trust. As long as the problem could be solved, the order would be awarded to
AAK. Our technical team has discussed internally for 1 day, and we have the
idea to optimize the oil circuit layout of the original hydraulic manifold, so
that the energy consumption can be reduced by 20%. After learning about it,
Timothy directly paid the development fee. After 45 days, AAK sent the
hydraulic manifold samples. 2 months later, Timothy sent an email saying that
the AAK newly designed hydraulic manifold had really reduced the energy
consumption of their hydraulic injection molding machines by more than 20%, and
the promotion was smooth. It was just taking time to place annual order.

The 3 key points of this hydraulic manifold design are:

1. The oil circuit should be reasonable: we have MDTools professional software,
and engineers with 17 years of industry experience to operate the oil circuit.

2. Details are the key: elbows are designed through energy efficiency
correlation and smooth transition methods to minimize pressure drop, while most
hydraulic manifold manufacturers use conventional elbows.

3. Process is the core: for hydraulic manifold design, we have a complete set
of processes. From hole checking, wire network connection, hole network to
component selection, oil circuit volume and assembly relationship are all
linked. The hydraulic manifold has compact structure, small space occupation
and small pressure loss.

AAK hydraulic manifold, 3 advantages of design, energy consumption reduced by
20%, you can also try a small order!
