Hytec, Hytec Fluid Technology, Hydraulic & Automation Warehouse, Hytec Services Africa and Hytec Engineering – all part of the Hytec Group of Companies – will be collaborating at Electra Mining Africa 2016. In addition, Hägglunds, part of Bosch Rexroth, will be joining the Hytec Group on its stand to display its “Gearbox Eliminator” to strengthen the position of the Hytec Group as Africa’s leader in hydraulic sales, service and repairs.

Hydraulic & Automation Warehouse (HAW), the master and authorised distributor for hydraulic equipment manufacturers OMT and Salami respectively in sub-Saharan Africa, will showcase these product ranges at the exhibition. The Salami ranges include gear pumps and motors, load sensing valves and manual control valves, and OMT’s range of hydraulic accessories includes bell housings, drive couplings and level gauges. These new hydraulic offerings complement HAW’s already extensive range of products and accessories for mobile hydraulic machines, which will also be on display at the exhibition.

The group’s hydraulic fluid specialists, Hytec Fluid Technology (HFT), will be displaying mobile filtration kits. These kits are used by major OEM’s. The Hy-Pro Bulk Diesel Filtration Test Rig will also be on display at the stand. This test rig is Hy-Pro’s coalescing/separator technology that removes water and dirt from diesel. A range of hydraulic filtration products and fluid cooling systems will also be exhibited.

In addition to the latest hydraulic systems and components and advanced pump and motor refurbishment capabilities, Hytec will display a Hydrostatic Drive Unit. The unit, equipped with hose connections, will demonstrate its various control functions for all mobile applications. Hytec Engineering will display its cylinder repairs ‘before and after’ units as well as a range of newly manufactured cylinders for mobile machines.

These two companies within the Hytec Group are the only companies in Africa accredited with the stringent Bosch Rexroth Service Centre of Competency certification, which they were re-awarded with again in 2014.

For visitors coming from the rest of Africa, Hytec Services Africa (HSA) will be available to discuss the Group’s product and systems distribution, as well as service and support capabilities throughout sub-Saharan Africa. HSA will present its most recent expansions into African markets.

The “Gearbox Eliminator” from Hägglunds will be on display. This gearless hydraulic drive system can provide maximum torque from zero speed with variable speed control. The power unit is of a closed loop hydraulic system design for continuous duty, suitable for high torque low speed applications.

Join the Hytec Group of Companies at stand E10 in Hall 6 at Electra Mining Africa 2016 held at Expo Centre Nasrec, Johannesburg from 12 to 16 of September.
