Revolutionizing Heavy Lifting: Split Flow Pump Upgrade Kits

In the fast-paced world of infrastructure and heavy lifting, precision and efficiency are critical. But upgrading equipment to meet more complex lifting demands can be costly.

For those already using Enerpac systems, Split Flow Pump Upgrade Kits offer a way to enhance control and efficiency without replacing entire setups. These kits help coordinate multiple lifting points more precisely, making them useful for projects requiring synchronized movement. By upgrading existing equipment rather than investing in new systems, contractors and engineers can optimize their operations while managing costs.

What will a Split Flow Pump Upgrade Kit allow you to do?

Enerpac’s standard split flow pumps already offer consistent oil flow to each lift point, ensuring uniform cylinder movement. However, the upgrade kits take this technology to the next level, allowing users to:

1. Extend the number of lifting points
2. Increase system accuracy
3. Control the entire lifting process from a single interactive touchscreen

Split Flow Pumps: Three Upgrade Options

Enerpac offers three distinct upgrade kits, each catering to different operational needs:

1. Network Kit: This kit expands the lifting capacity of standard Split Flow Pumps from 2, 4, 6, or 8 points to a maximum of 32 lift points. It connects multiple Split Flow Pumps (SFPs) and controls them from a single station, ideal for large-scale projects.
2. Synchro Kit: Designed for single Split Flow Pump setups, this kit synchronizes lifting points using feedback from stroke and pressure sensors, similar to the advanced EVO pumps. It’s perfect for operations requiring heightened precision.
3. Multiple SFP Synchro Kit: Combining the benefits of both previous kits, this option connects several SFPs and synchronizes all lifting points to within 0.04 inches (1.0 mm) using stroke and pressure transducers. It’s the ultimate solution for complex, multi-point lifting operations demanding the highest accuracy.

Benefits of Split Flow Pump Upgrade Kits for Infrastructure Projects

The upgrade kits offer numerous advantages for infrastructure contractors:

• Increased Flexibility: Adapt existing equipment to handle a wider range of projects without purchasing entirely new systems.
• Enhanced Precision: Achieve synchronization accuracy of up to 1mm between lifting points, crucial for delicate operations like bridge installations or equipment positioning.
• Improved Safety: Centralized control and real-time monitoring reduce the risk of uneven lifting and potential accidents.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Upgrade existing systems rather than investing in new, more expensive equipment.
• Scalability: Start with a basic split flow pump and upgrade as project demands grow, spreading costs over time

Applications in Infrastructure

These upgrade kits can be particularly valuable in various infrastructure applications:

• Bridge construction and maintenance
• Installation of large, prefabricated components
• Positioning of heavy machinery and equipment
• Shipbuilding and large-scale marine projects

Conclusion

Don’t just think of these Split Flow Pump Upgrade Kits as just add-ons; they’re a gateway to enhanced capabilities in heavy lifting operations. For infrastructure contractors looking to stay competitive and tackle more challenging projects, these kits offer a cost-effective path to increased precision, safety, and operational flexibility.
