Unscheduled and extended downtime are two setbacks that production managers do their best to avoid. To help facilitate increased uptime in all hydraulic equipment, machinery and applications, Hytec South Africa and Hytec Engineering offer comprehensive hydraulic repair services for Bosch Rexroth South Africa’s entire hydraulics range.

Repair services for hydraulic pumps, motors, gearboxes and valves fall within the scope of Hytec South Africa, while Hytec Engineering, as Group specialist in hydraulic cylinders, repairs and refurbishes all OEM cylinders distributed by Bosch Rexroth South Africa. All repairs and refurbishments are according to Bosch Rexroth specifications which include OEM specifications, with all work and componentry warrantied for 12 months.

All hydraulic equipment undergoing repair or refurbishment is subjected to calibration and all parts are inspected for wear and damage, with affected components replaced new and all seals, bearings and bolts are a mandatory replacement. Hytec Engineering retains an extensive and comprehensive stockholding of refurbished cylinders, which facilitates its cylinder exchange programme.

Hytec Engineering has three hydraulic cylinder test benches, ensuring its cylinder repair and refurbishment capacity and capabilities cater to the requirements of numerous cylinder types and sizes. Four pump and motor test stations, from 90 kW to 600 kW, are used to test pumps and motors. Hytec South Africa also operates a fleet of service vehicles equipped to conduct onsite services, as well as analyse, fault-find, repair and carry out hydraulic system installations.
