Hydraulic Controls will show its newest manually operated roof bolter and rib bolter logic blocks, Trouble Shooting Kits, hydraulic integrated circuits and a stainless-steel water valve for mining applications on Stand H1103 at AIMEX – Asia-Pacific’s International Mining Exhibition, to be held at the Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park, from August 20-23, 2013. The logic blocks, which are designed to work with various drill rigs that install roof and rib support bolts, are manufactured to Mining Design Guideline (MDG) specifications covering bolting and drilling equipment in underground mines. The Sydney-based company will also feature its locally made hydraulic integrated circuits (HICs), which can be manufactured to specifications as required by the customer. Another feature of the company’s AIMEX stand will be its stainless-steel water valves, designed to control the flow of cooling or flushing water in hostile mining environments.

The valves were developed to meet demand for normally open and normally closed valves that can work at water pressures of 240 bar and flows of 120 lit/min.
The valves can pilot operate to start or stop water flow and are also fitted with a bypass valve for manual operation. Designed in Australia, they were manufactured from high-grade stainless steel with internal components designed for reliability and durability in the harsh water environments of mine sites as well as in other hazardous areas, Hydraulic Controls’ Paul Flint said. Hydraulic Controls has been designing and manufacturing hydraulic valves, high-pressure water valves and hydraulic integrated circuits for all types of machines for 40 years. All of its HICs can be made from steel, aluminium or stainless steel. The company’s services include hydraulic circuit design, manifold layout and cartridge valve selection as well as CAD with 3D modeling for customised products, offering fast turnaround for all prototype work.
