Hyflo’s Cape Town operation enhances efficiency
September 2018
News
Hyflo’s Cape Town operation recently completed a rationalisation programme designed to enhance efficiencies in the Western Cape.
“With the relocation of Hyflo’s head office facility from Paarden Eiland to Johannesburg at the beginning of the year, the Cape Town branch has merged its operations into one building,” explains Wynand Kellerman, Cape Town branch manager, Hyflo Southern Africa. “Operational and structural changes have been implemented to streamline productivity and improve our services to a growing customer-base. The redesigned layout at the branch facilitates manufacturing processes that interchange easily for the efficient production of all Hyflo systems, which encompass hydraulics and pneumatics, hoses and fittings, as well as automation systems.”
Hyflo has made a substantial investment in advanced equipment, to meet the specific requirements of customers in diverse industries, including marine, manufacturing, mining, agriculture, off-shore services and general engineering. The new workshop is equipped with an overhead crane and spray-booth, as well as 30 kW and 75 kW test benches for testing pumps, manifold blocks, hydraulic motors and control valves. The South African Fluid Power Association (SAFPA) approved hose and fittings department has a test bench, designed to pressure test up to 1500 Bar. Parker hydraulic hose is also manufactured and tested at this facility. The cylinder department manufactures, modifies, repairs and tests class-approved cylinders.
