Consider how often your crew is dispensing fluids. Then consider how much money you could save if you could account for all of it. 

Xingyu supply professional and honest service.

Bulk fluids cost you thousands of dollars annually. Add up what you're missing with every drop that's spilled or misplaced, and you're losing out on significant profit opportunities.

An effective fluid control system dispenses only precise, pre-authorized volumes to create efficiencies for your entire shop operation. Here are the top 4 reasons why you need fluid control:

1. Accountability.

Fluid control systems can regulate every ounce of fluid in your shop or dealership. In fact, they can be programmed to dispense only the correct fluid and authorized amount. This ensures that every vehicle or machine receives the appropriate amount of fluid for more accurate billing. In addition, you can minimize dispensing errors ' and even identify where inaccuracies originate.

2. Accurate inventory.

Storing bulk fluids can be complicated ' and frustrating. Most shops and dealerships must plan ahead when transitioning from an empty container to a new one. If a new drum is ordered too soon, it may take up much-needed space for an excessive time period. If it's ordered too late, common services can't be performed. With a fluid control system, you can track the amount of fluid dispensed so you always know when it's time to reorder drums.

3. Efficiency.

Customers demand fast service. The faster you perform a job, the sooner you can move on to the next one. With fluid control, your technicians don't have to guess, and subsequently check and even redispense, the amount of fluid used. Only the correct amount of fluid is dispensed ' once ' so your crews can complete a service order and move on to the next one quickly.

4. Profitability.

Waste cuts into your profits ' whether it's from wasted materials or wasted efforts from your team. Use fluid control systems to enhance profitability by optimizing your resources. Use more of the bulk fluids you've purchased and tie them directly to service orders. Additionally, by maximizing the productivity of your crew, you can churn through more service orders in less time to improve profitability.

Fluid Power Advantages

Hydraulic and pneumatic systems share many benefits for the machines in which they are installed. These include:

• high horsepower-to-weight ratio ' You could probably hold a 5-hp hydraulic motor in the palm of your hand, but a 5-hp electric motor might weight 40 lb or more.
• safety in hazardous environments because they are inherently spark-free and can tolerate high temperatures.
• force or torque can be held constant ' this is unique to fluid power transmission
• high torque at low speed ' unlike electric motors, pneumatic and hydraulic motors can produce high torque while operating at low rotational speeds. Some fluid power motors can even maintain torque at zero speed without overheating
• pressurized fluids can be transmitted over long distances and through complex machine configurations with only a small loss in power
• multi-functional control ' a single hydraulic pump or air compressor can provide power to many cylinders, motors, or other actuators
• elimination of complicated mechanical trains of gears, chains, belts, cams, and linkages
• motion can be almost instantly reversed

Hydraulic and pneumatic systems are both widely used in stationary (industrial) and off-highway (mobile) equipment. Hydraulic systems are widely used when heavy force or torque is involved, such as lifting loads weighing several tons, crushing or pressing strong materials like rock and solid metal, and digging, lifting, and moving large amounts of earth. And although pneumatics is capable of transmitting high force and torque, it is more widely used for fast-moving, repetitive applications, such as pick-and-place operations, gripping, and repetitive gripping or stamping. In both cases, electronic controls and sensors have been implemented into fluid power systems for the last few decades. These electronics make hydraulic and pneumatic systems faster, more precise and efficient, more reliable, and allow them to be tied into statistical process control and other factory and mobile equipment control networks.

Hydraulic applications

Off-highway equipment is probably the most common application of hydraulics. Whether it's construction, mining, agriculture, waste reduction, or utility equipment, hydraulics provides the power and control to tackle the task at hand and often to provide motive power to move equipment from place to place ' especially when track drives are involved. Hydraulics is also widely used in heavy industrial equipment in factories, in marine and offshore equipment for lifting, bending, pressing, cutting, forming, and moving heavy work pieces. Following are case histories housed on websites of industry publications describing the use of hydraulics in a variety of applications:

Pneumatic applications

Factory automation is the largest sector for pneumatics technology, which is widely used for manipulating products in manufacturing, processing, and packaging operations. Pneumatics is also widely used in medical and food processing equipment. Pneumatics is typically thought of as pick-and-place technology, where pneumatic components work in concert to perform the same repetitive operation thousands of times per day. But pneumatics is much more. Because compressed air can have a cushioning effect, it is often called on to provide a gentler touch than what hydraulics or electromechanical drives can usually provide. In many applications, pneumatics is used more for its ability to provide controlled pressing or squeezing as it is for fast and repetitive motion. Moreover, electronic controls can give pneumatic systems positioning accuracy comparable to that of hydraulic and electromechanical technologies.

Pneumatics is also widely used in chemical plants and refineries to actuate large valves. It's used on mobile equipment for transmitting power where hydraulics or electromechanical drives are less practical or not as convenient and in on-highway trucking for various vehicle functions. And of course, vacuum is used for lifting and moving work pieces and products. In fact, combining multiple vacuum cups into a single assembly allows lifting large and heavy objects. Following are case histories housed on websites of industry publications describing the use of pneumatics in a variety of applications:

Food & Beverage:

Fluid Power Components

Fluid power systems consist of multiple components that work together or in sequence to perform some action or work. People well versed in fluid power circuit and system design may purchase individual components and assemble them into a fluid power systems themselves. However, many fluid power systems are designed by distributors, consultants, and other fluid power professionals who may provide the system in whole or in part.

 The major components of any fluid power system include:

• a pumping device ' a hydraulic pump or air compressor to provide fluid power to the system
• fluid conductors ' tubing, hoses, fittings, manifolds and other components that distribute pressurized fluid throughout the system
• valves ' devices that control fluid flow, pressure, starting, stopping and direction
• actuators ' cylinders, motors, rotary actuators, grippers, vacuum cups and other components that perform the end function of the fluid power system.
• support components ' filters, heat exchangers, manifolds, hydraulic reservoirs, pneumatic mufflers, and other components that enable the fluid power system to operate more effectively.

Electronic sensors and switches are also incorporated into many of today's fluid power systems to provide a means for electronic controls to monitor operation of components. Diagnostic instruments are also used for measuring pressure, temperature and flow in assessing the condition of the system and for troubleshooting.
