TowerPack pump for wind industry from Boltight

15 July 2009

UK manufacturer Boltight Ltd has developed an electric pump designed specifically for bolt tensioner applications in the wind turbine industry.

The TowerPack electric pump from Boltight Ltd delivers a maximum pressure of 2000 bar/29,000 psi and is suitable for tough use in difficult conditions. Boltight says that the pump will offer durability and reliability when working in wet, windy, remote and harsh environment; it is IP56 protected.

The Towerpack pump is built around a rugged steel frame with an integral swivel lifting point. The frame itself has been balanced to keep vibration to a minimum. It features a full pendant control interface with a digital pressure read out. High oil flow helps the pump reach the desired operating pressure quickly.
 
The pump offers on board diagnostics, high and low pressure filtration with in-built sensors and a high-pressure quick connect port. The user can select the optional constant pressure operation if required.
