Grandweld Shipyards Expands Capabilities with New Hydraulic Testing & Flushing Equipment
Grandweld Shipyards is pleased to announce a significant addition to its in-house service capabilities with the successful commissioning of a new hydraulic bench test machine and hydraulic flushing machine — both now fully operational and ready to support our clients’ hydraulic maintenance and repair needs.
Hydraulic Bench Test Machine
Our new bench test machine delivers a comprehensive testing solution for a wide range of hydraulic components, with operating capacities of 100 to 600 L/min at 300 bar. This advanced equipment is capable of testing and certification of hydraulic pumps, hydraulic motors, hydraulic cylinders, and control blocks up to 600 L/min at 300 bar. The machine is capable of testing and certifying:
Hydraulic pumps
Hydraulic motors
Hydraulic cylinders
Control blocks
This equipment allows Grandweld to perform rigorous performance verification and fault diagnosis in-house, reducing turnaround times and offering clients a faster, more cost-effective alternative to third-party testing.
Hydraulic Flushing Machine
Complementing the test bench, our new hydraulic flushing machine is used for high-capacity flushing of hydraulic systems up to 650 L/min at 150 bar, ensuring cleanliness after repairs and installations. It operates across a temperature range of 30 to 60°C, enabling thorough cleanliness of hydraulic circuits — a critical requirement following repairs, system overhauls, or new installations.
What This Means for Our Clients
Together, these additions strengthen Grandweld’s position as a full-service hydraulic solutions provider, enabling us to handle more scopes of work in-house with greater speed, precision, and quality assurance. Whether for scheduled maintenance, emergency repairs, or newbuild commissioning support, our team is equipped to deliver.
