Hydraulic Technology
SPX FLOW hydraulic solutions are relied on for heavy lifting, controlled bolting and large-scale construction across a range of industries. Our technologies are used in bridge building, stadium construction and on-site in manufacturing plants. The applications of hydraulic tools are vast; therefore, SPX FLOW hydraulic engineers can assist in the development of specialized solutions to meet specific needs. For example, our Power Team cylinders are often integrated into end-products like carjacks.
Energy
Demand for wind power is increasing around the world and, with it, the need for wind turbine installations. With supply chain shortages and other issues hampering construction, companies are under increased pressure to work more efficiently. SPX FLOW is helping contractors improve work productivity and accelerate wind turbine installation with a line of tools that drive efficiency on the construction site.
SPX FLOW has developed a series of hydraulic torque wrenches and pumps for the bolting process in wind turbine installation, as well as in oil and gas pipeline installations. Bolting is a key component in the construction of wind turbines. For every wind turbine, hundreds of bolts are required for fastening tower sections, the foundation and blades. Tightening and applying final torque settings to the bolts quickly and precisely is crucial to maintaining schedules and keeping labor costs down.
SPX FLOW Bolting Systems provides high-performance hydraulic tools that are working behind the scene at power generation plants, ocean-based oil platforms, floating platform systems, land-based oil rigs and large wind turbines. Growth in traditional and renewable energy requires increasing infrastructure among local, regional and global communities. Bolting Systems high-performance tools and systems and help make this possible.
Rail
SPX FLOW provides several hydraulic tools and equipment specially designed for applications in the railroad industry. SPX FLOW brand, Rail Systems, manufactures switching systems and crossing barriers for the UK and international markets. With a dedicated team of engineers, SPX FLOW Rail Systems designs point operating systems to meet the demands for the international rail operations for both conventional and high-speed applications.
