Andalan Fluid Sistem provides professional hydraulic service and hydraulic cylinder repair. Proven performance from a 14+ meter feed drilling cylinder with over 12,000 working hours.
PT Andalan Fluid Sistem carried out the repair of a feed drilling cylinder measuring more than 14 meters in length. In the project information published by Andalan, the repaired cylinder was reported to have achieved more than 12,000 operating hours.
This case illustrates Andalan's experience in handling large hydraulic cylinders for industrial and heavy equipment applications, from assessing component condition to determining the appropriate repair work.
Handling a Hydraulic Cylinder More Than 14 Meters Long
A cylinder of this size requires planning for handling and repair. Inspection, dismantling, machining, component repair, assembly, and testing need to be matched to the unit's condition and requirements.
On this feed drilling cylinder project, Andalan applied its engineering experience to assess components and determine the repair method. The objective was to prepare the cylinder for a return to its intended operating application.
We love challenges. And we take them.
Project Record: More Than 12,000 Operating Hours
The feed drilling cylinder repaired by Andalan Fluid Sistem was reported to have achieved more than 12,000 working hours. This record reflects the unit's use in its operating application following repair.
Evaluating repair results involves both the cylinder's condition after the work and its performance during use. Information from field operation helps provide a picture of the outcome for the unit discussed in this case.
The recorded operating hours relate to this project. Assessment of other cylinders depends on their component condition, application, operating loads, and maintenance.
An Engineering Approach to Hydraulic Cylinder Repair
Hydraulic cylinders have different characteristics and operating conditions. For this reason, large hydraulic cylinder repair begins with condition assessment and evaluation of potential causes of damage before the repair method is selected.
The scope of work may include:
- Cylinder inspection and condition assessment.
- Dismantling and cleaning.
- Inspection of the barrel, piston, rod, gland, and other components.
- Component repair and machining as required.
- Chrome-plated rod inspection and repair where necessary.
- Replacement of seals and wear components.
- Honing and surface finishing based on inspection findings.
- Hydraulic cylinder assembly.
- Pressure and functional testing.
- Final inspection and quality control.
The actual scope is determined by inspection findings. Learn about Andalan's hydraulic cylinder reconditioning process for an overview of inspection, component repair, and testing stages.
Planning Cylinder Repairs to Help Reduce Downtime
Hydraulic cylinder damage can affect equipment availability and production. Details of the symptoms, repair history, and operating requirements help the team plan the work.
Repair or remanufacturing can be considered when component condition allows. The decision should take account of inspection findings, technical requirements, costs, and a suitable schedule.
For recurring leakage, read the discussion of hydraulic cylinder leaks after seal replacement to understand the importance of investigating the cause of damage.
