Optimising agricultural efficiency: Streamlining machinery with decentralised mini hydraulic power units
Numerous specialised agricultural machinery feature a multitude of ancillary functions and individual modules integral to various agricultural processes. Notably, not all of these functions necessitate direct supply from central hydraulics.
A ten-point practical guide to safety in hydraulics
H&P delves into the tangible steps and strategies professionals can adopt to ensure safety in hydraulic systems— transforming safety from a compliance necessity into an ingrained practice.
Durable, energy-efficient slurry pump for phosphoric acid plant operations

Reasons for the growing interest in Zero Liquid Discharge technology
In 2021 the global market for zero liquid discharge (ZLD) technology was estimated at $1 billion and is forecast to grow at almost 12% over the next ten years1. The rise is being driven in particular by an increase in adoption of the technology by the food and drink and textile industries as a growing world population puts greater pressure on fresh water supplies. Matt Hale, International Sales & Marketing Director, HRS Heat Exchangers reports
Flexible crimper power unit launched
Parker Polymer Hose Division Europe, a division of Parker Hannifin, has launched a flexible crimper power unit (85CE-PDP). The new unit joins the wide array of portable crimper power units from Parker, to increase productivity and versatility for smaller hose assembly needs, with more flexible options for customers.
Cordless battery pump
Enerpac, a leading industrial tools pump manufacturer, has announced the new SC-Series cordless battery pump, a compact lightweight hydraulic pump.
Drive controllers make servo pumps more efficient
Performance, pump protection and high precision control without compromise – all this is provided by the servo pump control function integrated in KEB Automation’s drive controllers. In combination with KEB’s DL4 and TA series servo motors, they can also save energy.
Ride the wave of digital transformation: Hydraulics industry innovations
The hydraulics industry, once characterised by its traditional and mechanical nature, is undergoing a profound transformation in the digital era. Marc Paro, CEO PARO Software, explains further.
Decentralised hydraulics in the control of flaps and conveyor belts in harvesters
Many ancillary functions and individual modules can be found in highly specialised agricultural machinery, which are used in all agricultural work processes. Not all of them have to be supplied directly with the central hydraulics - using small decentralised mini hydraulic power units to drive and control these functions can minimise tubing and simplify installation close to the control function.
Innovative solution for modern industrial filtration needs
H&P takes a look at the possibilities of filters made using micrometal’s ‘next generation’ PCE process, and the application areas that could benefit from its use
Versatile new CML4 contamination monitor launched
MP Filtri has launched the CML4, its new compact portable contamination monitor, at Agritechnica.
Heat exchangers for challenging dairy applications
Dairy products display a wide range of physical and quality characteristics, from simple fluid milk through creams and yoghurt, to more solid products such as curds, ice cream cheese and even milk powder. Dairy processing also presents a range of heat transfer challenges, including heating, cooling, pasteurisation and ultra-heat treatment (UHT) to extend shelf life.
