Cast aluminium reservoir boasts 123l usable volume

Specialised in hydraulics accessories, the company surprised visitors of the 2013 Hanover Industrial Fair with its introduction of the largest standard cast aluminium hydraulic reservoir currently available on the market. With this new product, R+L Hydraulics has extended its well-known range of aluminium reservoirs of nominal sizes 3.5 to 70 litres by a long-awaited large-capacity reservoir that has decisive benefits: Unpainted, the NG 130 aluminium reservoirs have an exceptionally low weight of only 25 kg. They are easy to handle, are stackable, can accommodate baffles and have an excellent price–performance ratio. Being thin-walled by design, the NG 130 has an inherent cooling capacity of 2.1 kW at Δt = 40 °C, thereby eliminating the need for an oil cooler in many applications.

“Besides extending our standard range of aluminium tanks with nominal sizes from 3.5 to 130 litres, we offer special reservoirs built to customer specifications in both steel and aluminium, to which we can also apply special coatings for specific applications”, explains R+L Managing Director Lothar Gädtke. “We draw on our long experience in developing aluminium products for the hydraulics industry and close ties with our customers as the basis for product developments that set new standards. The new NG 130 is one such product.”
