Market overview

OffshoreBridges and locks Demolition and recyclingOnshore Accumulators

Bridges and locks demand specific expertise. The work we have done here in our ‘home market’, the Netherlands, with all its waterways, has given us extensive experience and know-how in this area. In many bridges and locks over the world our cylinders are applied.

Safety standards are high and the traceability of materials is important. IHC Vremac Cylinders B.V. is experienced in working on offshore projects and delivers all necessary certifications.

IHC Vremac Cylinders B.V. can trace its history back to a time when presses formed the foundation of our company. We possess the two qualities necessary to understand this market: knowledge and experience.

Swivel joints

In the demolitions industry, having experience as dredgers is very useful. Under heavy circumstances our high quality cylinders keep on working.

Accumulators can speed up the process of attraction and/or retraction, without having to go above the working pressure of the cylinder. We deliver accumulators with all sorts of gasses and fluids.

As a component of the hydraulic system swivel joints have to be developed together with our clients. Being a co-maker is a very strong feature of IHC Vremac Cylinders B.V.

... understanding your specific requirements ...

These photos are examples of our markets and products. The dredging and offshore markets are very well known through the IHC Merwede group. The Netherlands is famous for the knowledge in dredging. All over the world our cylinders are used in dredging vessels and equipment.

We are your partner for all hydraulic components. Therefore we completed our product range with accumulators and swivel joints. Do not hesitate to ask for detailed information.

Innovating the sector

Our clients dredge and mine deeper, with larger capacities, higher accuracy and selectivity. To maintain efficient operations, we are required to provide more cost-efficient systems and components that work together correctly. At IHC Parts & Services, we continuously focus on developing and improving our products, services and production operations, and this is what distinguishes us from the competition and defines us as a Technology Innovator.

Product developmentScaling-up means increased capacity, as well as new design

Standard Cylinders

Standard specifications

Bore : 32 mm to 360 mm Rod : 22 mm to 250 mm Stroke : max 10.000 mm

Working/test pressure : 210/315 bar : 320/ 460 bar

Research & Development

Research & DevelopmentAt IHC Vremac Cylinders B.V. we invest much in research and development. More than 75% of the orders we receive involve newly engineered cylinders. We are proud to say that we always provide solutions to the needs of our clients with designs based upon and backed by evidence and reliability. There are always several projects undergoing R&D. By doing so, we are able to provide clients with answers to their questions.

Due to our intensive R&D programme, two patents have been submitted. Both of these involve a method of increasing the corrosion and wear resistance of our cylinders.

The projects undergoing R&D are:• Adjustable end cushioning• Integrated displacement transducer• Piston rod finishing• The potential uses of ‘new’ materials• Buckling load calculation• Integrated electronic devices

EngineeringOnce a new technology has been developed, we consider it our job to remain in close contact with our clients. One of our important values at IHC Vremac Cylinders B.V. is co-makership. From the start of a new project, our engineers work in close contact with the client’s engineers. Together, we are working towards the development of the best solution.

Engineering

Load calculations by FEM

Electronic device for positioning measurement system.

New materials applied in seals.

Service on site

Our machinery is specially equipped for complicated metalcutting.

If there is added value for inspection on site, we will be there. Most repairs have to be done at one of our IHC service centers around the world. We will make sure your cylinder is back in no time.

Repair

Manufactured by experience

Quality Assurance

This welding robot operates according high quality standard procedures.

Repairing a cylinder is a time-consuming business. A special department has focus on each repair: step 1 make an inspection plan, 2 repair if profitable, 3 test for result.

Quality control

Each major weld undertakes a Non Destructive Test.

Our advantageAs a former mechanical engineering company our factory is well-equipped. Every step of manufacturing a cylinder can be done in-house, the knowledge of each production process is available. To stay flexible we gathered also a strong network of suppliers around us.

To manufacture a high quality cylinder we understand the complexity. Assembling a cylinder (or an accumulator or a swivel joint) is an accurate job. Dealing with heavy components and a tight tolerance demands craftsmanship. Our production employees are well-trained and extremely motivated to deliver a complicated product.

All cylinders testedAll the cylinders are tested to the design and test pressure. Together with the test the final inspection and measurements control of the cylinder takes place. All our clients are invited to come over to our production facility to witness the test programme and final inspection themselves.

All kind of cylindersThe scope of after sales and repair is easy. From every cylinder once sold, we can deliver/ manufacture spare parts. We have built up a ‘repair database’ with all our historic repairs. We know the critical parts and keep those in stock. Important is to maintain contact with our customers, especially for after sales.

With our expertise we offer a cost-effective repair solution, sometimes advising to buy a new cylinder. The size and manufacturer of the cylinder does not matter to us, we will take care of it.
