How Does The Hydraulic Expansion Unit Work?
The HEU Hydraulic Expansion Unit uses the base machine’s hydraulic system as its power source.
- Hydraulic oil flows to the unit through the pressure line.
- The unit generates high-pressure water, which is used to expand rock bolts. It is connected to a water supply for operation.
- The unit monitors the expansion process and automatically releases the bolt when the correct water pressure level is reached.
- Hydraulic oil is returned to the carrier machine’s hydraulic oil tank via the return line.
