of any size take-up unit. A power pack’s primary function is to provide the necessary hydraulic/oil flow in gallons per minute to properly power a take-up. The power pack serves as a reservoir to store oil for the pump. The flow of oil in the power pack determines how fast the carriage travels to the take-up unit. The pressure created by the power pack is the determining factor in the strength of pull the take-up achieves. Take-up units, as discussed here, must have a power pack in order to function properly.
West River Conveyors carries a variety of hydraulic power packs for use with our take-up units. We stock power packs for a number of different size take-up units with standard t-frame motors — including 5, 7.5 and 20HP. We also build power packs to suit your specific needs. Our engineers have successfully manufactured custom hydraulic power packs for many different take-up styles and sizes.
In mining operations, gearboxes are the heart of conveyor drive systems. When they run smoothly, material flows without interruption. But when issues arise—like overheating, unusual noises, or sudden torque loss—maintenance read more »
Conveyor systems are the lifeline of aggregate operations, keeping crushed stone, sand, and gravel moving efficiently through processing plants, storage yards, and onto transportation vehicles. However, the demanding nature of read more »
Gravel may seem simple at first glance, but in reality, its size, weight, and abrasiveness make it one of the most demanding materials to move. In mining and construction environments, read more »
