It is therefore appropriate that the specialist in compaction technology is working with\u00a0HANSA\u2011FLEX. The fluid technology specialist supplies hose lines for 80 different machine types to Tirschenreuth in Bavaria, where the rollers are developed and produced.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nIn Europe\u2019s most modern roller factory extending to 58,000 square metres, Hamm produces tandem rollers, rubber-wheeled rollers and single drum rollers up to a total operating weight of 28 tonnes. Hamm ensures effective production with eight, efficiently designed production lines, optimised material flows from goods receipt to delivery, and intelligent storage systems. An important component of the ingenious production concept: hose assemblies from\u00a0HANSA\u2011FLEX."},{"acf_fc_layout":"image_section","image":8509,"image_text":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"just_text","text":"Series production<\/h2>\r\n8,000 hydraulic hose lines per week are manufactured at the\u00a0HANSA\u2011FLEX\u00a0location in Ko\u0161ice in Slovakia for Hamm\u2019s HD and Euro series. There they are picked in advance for specific machines and put together as kits customised for preassembly and production cycle assembly operations. The Hamm material number, which\u00a0HANSA\u2011FLEX\u00a0embosses on the sleeves, indicates exactly where each hose line is to be installed. \u201cAll hose assemblies are shipped in pallets with push-on frames, in which each kit is separated from the others by a cardboard box,\u201d is how Andrea Albrecht, Managing Director of\u00a0HANSA\u2011FLEX\u00a0Slovakia, explains the procedure. When the goods reach the customer, three\u00a0HANSA\u2011FLEX\u00a0employees store the hose lines on the Kanban shelving. \u201cWe deliver our hose lines directly to the assembly line, structured according to the individual operating process. This not only eliminates the time-consuming search for components, but also the need for intermediate storage,\u201d Albrecht adds. To ensure that the required goods are available at the roller manufacturer\u2019s production facility at the right time, the hose line assemblies are called off according to delivery schedules. \u201cOur truck makes regular trips from Ko\u0161ice to Tirschenreuth to deliver the ordered goods,\u201d says Albrecht."},{"acf_fc_layout":"slider_wide_section","wide_slider_from_right":[{"image":8508},{"image":8505},{"image":8502},{"image":8504},{"image":8501},{"image":8500}]},{"acf_fc_layout":"just_text","text":"
Individual custom-made products<\/h2>\r\nThe\u00a0HANSA\u2011FLEX\u00a0branch in Bayreuth, which is only 60 kilometres from Tirschenreuth, is responsible for providing Hamm with support. Special hoses and fittings for the rollers are also manufactured there. \u201cProximity to the customer is a great advantage, especially when time is of the essence; for example with overnight deliveries or spare parts,\u201d explains Sebastian Schl\u00fcter, sales representative at the\u00a0HANSA\u2011FLEX\u00a0Coburg branch, who has been working closely with Hamm for seven years. \u201cOnce a week I visit the customer to discuss current projects and explore potential for optimisations.\u201d For this purpose Schl\u00fcter talks directly to the employees on the assembly lines. \u201cBy engaging with the technicians on site we can identify difficulties at an early stage and make adjustments, for example, to the type of layout,\u201d Schl\u00fcter says in summary."},{"acf_fc_layout":"image_section","image":8503,"image_text":"Proximity to the customer is a great advantage \u2013 especially when time is of the essence."},{"acf_fc_layout":"just_text","text":"
Prototype development<\/h2>\r\nHamm also relies on the advice of the experienced specialists at\u00a0HANSA\u2011FLEX\u00a0for prototype development: during an initial analysis the installation conditions of the hydraulics are examined closely. \u201cBecause the entire machine has already been designed, the hydraulics have to be adapted to the available space at the very end,\u201d says Schl\u00fcter, providing an insight into how things are done in practice. \u201cWe fit the machine with suitable hose lines according to the spatial conditions and other requirements.\u201d In addition to the length, the connections and the diameter, the features of the hose line are also important: whereas they are only exposed to minor stress during steering, the lines for the roller drive and compaction need to function reliably under heavy-duty conditions. \u201cWe therefore use hose lines with several steel inserts that not only withstand the strong vibrations, but also a pressure of over 350 bar,\u201d says Schl\u00fcter. Once the hose assemblies have passed the initial sample inspection by Hamm's quality assurance department, nothing then stands in the way of series production."},{"acf_fc_layout":"image_section","image":8507,"image_text":"8,000 hydraulic hose lines per week are manufactured for Hamm.

Comprehensive cooperation<\/h2>\r\nThe know-how of the fluid technology specialists is also required for the maintenance of Hamm\u2019s production machinery.
