Selecting the right hydraulic hose

Hoses typically become heavier for any given length, with added layers of reinforcing wire, as the working pressure requirement increases.

Connecting Machinery with Efficiency

Essential for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of construction machinery like excavators, loaders, bulldozers, cranes, etc., hydraulic hoses play a crucial role in various equipment.

Tyres are integral to any OTR equipment design

Rajiv Poddar, Joint Managing Director, Balkrishna Industries, speaks on the company's approach to sustainability.

BKT’s Bhuj Plant: Racing ahead of time

The Bhuj site, at the centre of a well-thought-out growth strategy by BKT, consists of the state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities as it aims for an annual tyre production of 600,000 MT.

Improving machine productivity

The demand for the hydraulic hose is estimated to grow at a substantial rate from the construction industry owing to the requirement of high operating pressure and maximum abrasion resistance to the equipment.

Improving performance

Hydraulic hoses and fittings play a vital role in the fluid power transmission in hydraulic equipment. Construction and mining equipment will continue to be a major growth driver for this segment.

Hydraulic Hoses & Fittings

Hydraulic hose and fittings is one of the most important components in fluid power transmission. Selection of the right hose depends on various factors viz, operating pressure range, temperatures, abrasion resistance, and application and flow requirements. One should also consider the type of fluid conveyed and the application.

Aligned with CE Growth

High pressure, large diameter and volumetric capacity hoses fitted with appropriately speced fittings and protection covering are key ingredients for heavy construction and mining machinery. Such hoses have endured extreme usage under adverse to poor operating cycles and environment.

A Global Business Empire of Indian Origin

Many businesses around the world become successful by identifying an existing trend (socio-economic and market) and selling accordingly. But only a handful break through the obvious and dare to go beyond, thus creating not just success but an unprecedented niche for themselves.

Advantage Radials

Radial-ply tyres offer a distinct advantage over bias-ply tyres. They may cost more, but they offer better productivity, higher cost savings, and comfort, writes Bhushan Mhapralkar. Earthmoving and construction equipment operate in a different environment from that of an automobile.

We expect the benefits of radial technology to generate an increasing demand.

The radial tyres developed by Michelin reduce machine downtime, increase productivity on loaders by providing better grip and decrease fuel consumption by 5-6 per cent on an average. One can easily imagine what can be the impact on the fuel bill for large fleets, says Harkesh Jaggi, Commercial Director Earthmover and Industrial Tyres, Michelin India. Excerpts of the interview.

We plan to increase our capacity of radials to 30,000 tpa.

The demand for bigger size radials in mining sector is increasing. As the capacity of the machine is growing, the tyre size is also growing and Balkrishna Industries Ltd (BKT) the leading radials manufacturer in OTR segment-is gearing up to introduce bigger size radials in future. Rajiv Poddar, Joint Managing Director, BKT, shares his views on the market trends in radials with Sudheer Vathiyath. Excerpts of the interview.
