high pressure hydraulic hose-Safe hydraulic hose assembly critical on mining equipment
Be sure to adhere to all government, industry and manufacturers specifications and standards when selecting hydraulic system components.Two basic goals should be kept in mind when replacing hydraulic hose assemblies – make the system as leak-proof as possible, and make the system accessible for easier maintenance.Most hydraulically operated mining equipment will come from the factory with the hoses routed properly. That is, the hose will run parallel on the piece of equipment, follow its contours and have the proper attachments. They will also have a proper layout with regard to the location of port positions, valves, filters, heater exchangers and the fluid reservoir.If, however, the hose has been previously replaced, equipment maintenance personnel should pay close attention to routing the new hose. Never assume the old hose was routed properly.
