Non-marring Hydraulic Separator

Portable, manually operated, synchonised hydraulic splitter providing mechanically collaborative organic work-holding without marring contact surfaces or finishes. Integrated into an existing process and existing equipment to ensure reuse of expensive composite component sections and minimise waste and cost to the end customer.

Competencies

Experience based material selection
Reduction of part count and ‘adding lightness’
Kinetic energy translation and deployment
Mechanical and Hydraulic Design Engineering
Design-For-Manufacture-and-Use (DFMU)
Process & machine integration
Ergonomics, manual handling and operator safety

HEP Debris Screening Gate

Working with natural forces rather than against, this design project enables screening of river borne debris from the main flow and preventing physical and economic harms to the sensitive generation equipment.

Briefed to cater for everything from whole trees and personal watercraft to stray swimmers and litter, as well as featuring dynamic adaptation to the seasonal waterlines and flood/drought conditions, the solution has a self clearing mode that is fully remotely commanded and monitored.

Competencies

Comprehension of Civil Engineering data
On-site survey, determination of absolute conditions
Clean-sheet scheming
Stakeholder liaison (inter-agency)
Digital development & simulation
Immersion & electrolytic metallurgy
Flotation & Buoyancy
Fluvial (River) Engineering
Hydrodynamic Engineering
Kinetic energy dissipation & distribution
Design For Manufacture Installation and Service (DFMIS)
Process & machine integration (physical & system
Risk identification, analysis & mitigation

Automated Coil Former

Fully automated, intelligent coil forming machine; self adapting to wire gauge, coil designs, sizes and types. Accurate to 0.012mm, this version is for smaller gauges of wire however the design is entirely scalable. Being fully electric, this machine is optimized for high-rate production - up to 750 units per hour, with low energy consumption and is fully enabled to interface with production control architectures.
