Languages: English

Hydraulic systems can be used to load, unload, lift, retract, rotate, and operate many different components. Tissue machines typically employ one or more hydraulic systems, each composed of a fluid reservoir, reservoir heaters, one or more hydraulic pumps, filtration equipment, cooling heat exchanger, distribution and return piping, valves, actuators, and instruments and controls. Strainers, filters, heat exchangers, and sometimes water-removal equipment are used to keep the hydraulic fluid clean and dry, and in the proper temperature range, in order to minimize problems and wear, and successfully operate hydraulically-actuated equipment.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this module, you will be able to:

  • Explain the purpose of hydraulic systems
  • Identify the safety hazards and safety guidelines associated with hydraulic systems
  • Identify and describe the common components of a typical tissue machine hydraulic system
  • List the functions of common hydraulic system components
  • Describe the types of valves that are commonly used in hydraulic systems
  • Identify and describe the typical process flows of a hydraulic system

Key Questions

The following key questions are answered in this module:

What are some of the things that hydraulic systems are used for on tissue machines?
They can be used to deflect variable crown rolls, load/unload pressure rolls, cantilever machine sections, and reposition doctors, steam boxes, rolls, and other equipment, especially at the dry end.

What are some of the safety hazards associated with hydraulic systems?
Burns from hot fluids, bruises and abrasions from unsecured lines or hoses, fires if an ignition source contacts hydraulic fluid, and pinhole leak injections into the skin.

What is the purpose of the "breather assembly" on hydraulic fluid reservoirs?
The breather assembly lets filtered air in and out of the tank as the fluid level changes.

Why is it important to have a relief valve downstream of a hydraulic pump?
Hydraulic pumps are usually positive displacement pumps, which are relatively unaffected by discharge pressure. The relief valve prevents downstream damage from overpressurization.

Why does a hydraulic system have equipment to both heat AND cool the hydraulic fluid?
The heaters keep the fluid warm during shorter shutdowns and startups, while the cooler removes heat from the fluid during machine operation, because the fluid absorbs heat from the process.

Sample Video Transcript

Below is a transcript of the video sample provided for this module:

Accumulators are often installed in hydraulic systems to provide stored energy when high loads are required or when hydraulic pressure is suddenly lost, such as when a pump shuts down. They are pressure vessels with pressurized bladders that are used to maintain and control the fluid pressure inside the vessel. Accumulators can be used to maintain hydraulic pressures for short periods of time, dampen pressure pulses in the fluid flow, or allow equipment to slowly return to a lower energy state if hydraulic pressure is lost.

Customer Q&A

I would like to have several employees take multiple courses. How can I set that up?

We're in the process of making bulk course and multiple user purchases easier. But for now, you can order multiple courses and contact us with details on who you'd like to assign courses to. We can set up each user's training plan and make sure everyone gets the eLearning assignments they need.

Can I get a free full-length preview of a course to see what this course covers?

While we do our best to offer details on course contents, we don't normally offer full-length previews. But please contact us with more details for a better understanding of what your organizaton needs and how we can help.

Do I get a certificate when I complete a course?

Yes. All of our courses allow you to print a completion certficate upon successfully passing the integrated test at the end of each eLearning course.

How do I log in to take a course that I have already paid for?

You'll receive an email with login details moments after you purchase your pay-per-view (PPV) course. Just click the login link and enter the user name and password provided.

Do you have courses in different languages?

Yes. While all of our courses are originally produced in English, we develop many courses in a growing number of languages, including Chinese, Dutch, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Tamil, and Thai. Available languages are normally displayed in the Course Details section on each course page.
