HAW unique hose crimper introduced to SA market<\/a>: <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The HAW UG20 grease crimper as displayed at NAMPO 2018. These crimpers, and the UG32 crimpers, are designed and manufactured specifically for the southern African market by Uniflex-Hydraulik GmbH on behalf of HAW.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hydraulic and Automation Warehouse (HAW), a Bosch Rexroth South Africa Group Company, has expanded its hose crimper offering with the addition of the Uniflex UG32 grease crimper to its range. With orders ready for delivery in December 2018, the UG32 launch was preceded with the arrival of UG20 grease crimper, which was on display at the NAMPO 2018 exhibition. Both of these crimpers are manufactured specifically for the southern African market by Uniflex-Hydraulik GmbH in Germany.<\/p>\n

The UG20 grease crimper, which weighs 160 kg, is designed to crimp four-wire hoses from \u00bc inch (6.35 mm) to 1. \u00bc inch (32 mm) and the 200 kg UG32 is tailored to crimp from \u00bc inch (6.35 mm) to 2 inch (51 mm) four-wire hoses. Each crimper comes standard with a quick-die-change tool, facilitating easier changes of the crimpers\u2019 die sets, which is a significant contributor to mass hose production.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe previously supplied crimpers to our clients from opposition companies,\u201d explains Neville Alberts, Johannesburg Branch Manager, HAW, \u201cbut due to product demand and our Group\u2019s role in the fluid power market, the decision to supply a crimper that is unique to HAW was made.\u201d Being a German-manufactured product, the associated quality and reliability are a given, and both units are more cost-effective than those offered by competitors.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnother advantage of this unique range,\u201d Alberts points out, \u201cis the fact that our quick-die-change tool is included in the unit price. There is already large demand for these crimpers, as evidenced by the interest shown at NAMPO 2018 held from 12 to 14 September and the number of enquiries subsequently received. Now, with the Group\u2019s drive into Africa, we feel that this demand will increase substantially.\u201d 10 units of each crimper arrived in early December and are available to clients immediately. However, crimpers outside of this stockholding are ordered from Germany and require a four- to six-week delivery period.<\/p>\n

HAW also supplies greaseless crimpers manufactured by Uniflex, which are imported on customer request only. They are ideal for environments where cleanliness is of utmost importance, and they require less maintenance than grease crimpers, although the latter is a more cost-effective purchase. \u201cThe option to digitise these crimpers is also available,\u201d Alberts concludes, \u201calthough there are pricing implications for this option.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Uniflex manufactures this range specifically for HAW, the company will carry out its own branding as and when the imported crimpers arrive.<\/p>\n
