Over the years, A-Tech has been contracted to perform various projects. Initially, A-Tech was contracted to provide a solution to the steel mill for modifying throttle cylinders to handle the harsh environment.
At first, the cylinders were failing about every 7 days. After evaluating the system and the symptoms, the seal design and composition was changed.
These changes resulted in the same cylinders lasting up to a year before requiring replacement. This saved the company over $70,000 for the first year.
Upgrading hydraulic system for self unloading cement carrier
Design and installation of lube system on 3 cargo unloading systems
Installation and maintenance of lube system on steel mill machinery
Retrofit hydraulic system on water tight doors for U.S. Navy
Design and installation of hydraulic actuator for water tight emergency escape hatches for Military Sealift command.
A-Tech’s hydraulic repair projects reflect the depth of the company’s engineering capabilities. On the self unloading cement carrier, A-Tech upgraded the vessel’s hydraulic system to handle continuous offloading demands, increasing flow capacity and reducing downtime. For three separate cargo unloading systems, A-Tech designed and installed a custom lube system to protect critical hydraulic components under constant use.
In heavy industrial settings, A-Tech’s on-site service team installed and now maintains a dedicated lube system for steel mill machinery operating under extreme heat and load. Among A-Tech’s hydraulic repair projects for the U.S. Navy, the team retrofitted the hydraulic system on water tight doors to meet strict military reliability standards, and for Military Sealift Command, A-Tech’s cylinder shop designed and installed hydraulic actuators for emergency escape hatches, engineered for dependable operation when it matters most. These projects follow hydraulic reliability principles established by the National Fluid Power Association.
