Cylinders boost pneumatic performance
The P1T rodless cylinder has a longitudinal polyurethane body seal that lifts and passes through the body of the carriage as it moves.
The Parker valve assemblies now fitted to control the raising and lowering of the third axle overcome the problems of water and contamination ingress and vibration damage which resulted in the low operational life of previously installed valves.
The Parker assembly includes a Viking P2L-B, G1/4 valve, two regulators and fittings.
The Ex-Cell offers a unique combination of high level payloads within compact overall dimensions, providing a solution to the access problems of today's urban and rural environments.
The hopper's short overhang gives excellent weight distribution even when binlifts are fitted, and with a capacity of 2 cubic metres offers operational performance levels ahead of competitors standard width products.
Ex-Cell bodywork is available in 9,11,13 and 15 cubic metre capacities and can be mounted to any suitable GVW chassis.
The Phoenix's huge hopper means fewer packing cycles, giving reductions in wear, fuel consumption and noise levels, the two plate packing system offering proven reliability and excellent weight distribution.
Phoenix bodywork is available in 15, 18, 20, 23, 25 and 28 cubic metre capacity.
Parker Pneumatic's Viking valve range features compact installation dimensions, high flow capacity, short change-over times and low change-over pressure.
Viking valves are made entirely of anodised aluminium for good corrosion resistance.
Smooth design with no dirt-collecting pockets, and stainless steel fixing screws for the end covers enable the valve to withstand most aggressive environments. Request a free brochure from Parker Hannifin ...
