Hydraulic Training Seminar Auckland, Hyspecs Mini DC Powerpacks
The next Hydraulic Training Seminar has been scheduled in Auckland for the 2nd & 3rd of September. It will be held in our specially designed seminar room at our Auckland branch, 32 Crooks Road, East Tamaki.
Book your spot on the course by downloading and filling out the registration form here.
This two-day seminar offers you an introduction into hydraulic components and their operation. Subject matter covers generic types of pumps, motors and valves and the course content will provide you with an understanding on how these components operate, are applied and conditions that may lead them to fail.
The information presented in the seminar is combined and used in a winch circuit design that is carried out with parameters provided by participants. This allows you to see an example of basic circuit design and component combinations.
Basic fault-finding is also covered to assist you with the emotions of lost money, time and production involved with on-site problem solving. Looking at problem solving from another angle can help you reduce your customer's downtime.
All topics are presented in an open forum and we welcome you to ask questions and participate in topic discussions. This provides the opportunity to hear and share real life experiences that relate to the topic being discussed. For more information on the course content download the Programme from here.
The cost of the two day course is $500 + GST and this includes all course material, lunch and refreshments for both days.

Product Update - Emmegi KBV Air/Oil Cooler
Emmegi coolers are a quality product that have served customers oil cooling requirements for many years. A few years back Emmegi released a cooler with an in-built bypass check valve. This greatly reduced the risk of over pressurising the cooler saving on expensive mistakes. The by-pass required an extra hose to be plumbed into the line, making hose companies happy but not so the customer.
The latest release from Emmegi, the KBV cooler does away with the need for the extra hose as the bypassing is achieved internally. The latest design does the same job but at a better overall price.
Download the Emmegi KBV cooler specification brochure here. For more information or to purchase one of these coolers please talk with one of our sales engineers using the contact details here or drop us an email.

100,000th Customer Giveaway
After a three month countdown we've finally made it - 100,000 packingslips in Auckland! The winning packingslip was for a $12 dollar Eaton gasket seal. Not a bad investment for $700 worth of fishing gear. The lucky winner was Keith Chestnut of Boart Longyear. It seems fate had an acting role in his win as he had just bought himself a new fishing boat weeks before.
Hyspecs wishes Keith good luck with the new fishing gear. Feel free to drop off a smoked Snapper on your way through next time Keith!
