June 2023: KTI Hydraulics Inc. has launched a new submerged direct current (DC) hydraulic power unit (HPU) aimed at enhancing the reliability of recycling machinery. This submerged HPU features a 1.8-kilowatt motor with 12-volt and 24-volt DC options, providing high ingress protection. It is equipped with a pressure-loaded gear pump, a potted solenoid, and a reservoir with a capacity of five quarts. Additionally, the new design of the HPU is more compact, measuring 15.5 inches by 9.5 inches by 8 inches, thereby reducing the space needed for hydraulic components.
