Hydraulic systems and industrial refrigeration drums

Hydraulic Systems

Hydraulic systems use fluids under pressure to transmit force and movement in industrial machinery and equipment. They are widely used in presses, injection molding machines, extruders, elevators, and machining equipment, ensuring precision, power, and control in operations.

These systems generate heat during operation due to the internal friction of the fluid and components. A chiller is essential in this process, as it maintains a stable hydraulic oil temperature, preventing overheating and ensuring:

Greater operational efficiency;

Extended pump and valve life;

Oil viscosity stability;

Reduced downtime due to thermal failures.

Without proper thermal control, the system loses performance and can suffer premature damage.

 

Tumblers

Tumblers are equipment used for the surface finishing of metal or plastic parts through polishing, deburring, or cleaning processes. The parts are placed inside a rotating drum filled with abrasives, and constant friction achieves the desired finish.

During this process, heat is generated through friction, which can alter the quality of the finish or deform sensitive parts. The chiller cools the water used in the tumbling process, ensuring that the process occurs at a controlled temperature, resulting in:

Better surface quality of the parts;

Greater precision and uniformity in the finish;

Protection of parts against thermal deformation;

Increased productivity by maintaining a continuous process.

 

Importance of the Chiller in the Process

The chiller is responsible for removing the heat generated during industrial operations, ensuring ideal temperature conditions in processes that require thermal stability.
In both hydraulic systems and drum machines, it ensures control, efficiency, and safety, being a key element in maintaining equipment reliability and performance.
