Hydraulic and Automation Warehouse (HAW) has concluded an agreement appointing the company as an Authorised Distributor for SALAMI in sub-Saharan Africa. Effective from 9 July 2015, SALAMI’s renowned hydraulic gear pumps, motors and manual-operated mobile control valves will be available to the region’s hydraulic industries, with full backup and aftersales support.

“SALAMI hydraulic components have an established reputation across the globe as a top-class brand with a wide range of products that introduce cost-effective, efficient and reliable performance in fluid power applications,” explains Wynand Kellerman, General Manager, HAW. “We’re excited to add SALAMI to our list of available products, which further cements our status as one of Africa’s largest stockholders of hydraulic components from the world’s leading brands.”

In the valve category, the agreement includes distribution and support of SALAMI monoblocks; sectional and load sensing valves; and electronic load sensing systems. The monoblock and sectional valves are characterised by very low leakage between spool and body and excellent metering characteristics. The spools are fully interchangeable. The range of SALAMI electronic load sensing systems are a highly efficient solution that reduces power consumption, has a high control capacity and supports simultaneous operation of more than one actuator without interaction.

The range of gear pumps and motors includes products manufactured in both cast iron and aluminium alloy. The new product ranges offer a high degree of efficiency, and are easy to combine in multiple drive units with maximum reliability. These solutions are especially suitable for applications where low noise levels are required. Cast iron units are more durable.

HAW is a Hytec Group Company. It has provided an expansive, high-quality product line of hydraulic hose and fittings components and accessories for the southern African fluid power industry for more than 20 years.
