Bulk Material and Handling Cylinders
Hydraulic Cylinders for Material Bulk & Handling Environments
Ship locks, barriers for coastal protection, hydroelectric power plants, or ship locks: for centuries, people have tried to control and use the forces of water. While the vision remains, the methods are getting better and better as technology evolves.
Large hydraulic mining cylinders operate nonstop with all kinds of materials under extreme conditions, whereas in bulk materials handling they have to withstand abrasive and seaside conditions or high vibration levels. Cylinders in tunnel boring machines are exposed to wear intensive circumstances, whilst dealing with extreme side loads and torque acting on the cutting head.
- Optimal design
- Extremely high wear and corrosion resistance
- First class seal and bearing configuration

Key Features of Our Material Bulk & Handling Cylinders
Newly created technological methods for surface technologies, have replaced old technologies, like plasma sprayed Ceramax. Laser cladded, thermal spraying and overlay welding have become the standard. Together, these in-house technologies form Van Halteren Technologies’ brand name for rod coatings: Enduroq.
For all environmental situations, Enduroq surface technologies can offer excellent solutions. Furthermore, Enduroq integrates concepts for selecting, engineering and producing leads, steering to the highest quality products and services.
We have developed a Seal Matrix for all kinds of applications and piston rod surfaces.
The most critical aspect of cylinders is the combination of different technologies. Optimal interaction between rod surface, hydraulic fluid and seal configuration is essential. Tribology analyzes the friction, lubrication and wear of interacting surfaces in relative motion, guaranteeing improved lifetime.
Fully integrated in the hydraulic cylinder, CIMS requires the application of the CIMS profile beneath the rod surface. The CIMS measuring system works in every environmental situation, such as dredging vessels, offshore platforms, ship loading and unloading systems, tunneling machines and bridges.

FAQ
Learn how Van Halteren Technologies provides robust and reliable hydraulic cylinders specifically designed to withstand the extreme demands of material bulk and handling environments, including mining, tunneling, and heavy industry.
What makes hydraulic cylinders essential in material bulk & handling?
Hydraulic cylinders are critical in material bulk and handling because they provide the immense linear force and precise control needed for heavy-duty operations. From moving mining shovel arms to pushing tunnel boring machines or operating booms on cranes, these cylinders enable efficient and continuous operation with all kinds of materials under often extreme, abrasive, and vibratory conditions.
What specific challenges do hydraulic cylinders face in these harsh environments?
Cylinders in material bulk and handling are exposed to severe conditions. In mining, they operate nonstop with abrasive materials and must withstand extreme loads. In bulk material handling, they face seaside conditions, high vibration, and constant exposure to dirt and sand. Tunnel boring machine cylinders endure wear-intensive circumstances with extreme side loads and torque on cutting heads, all of which demand exceptional durability and protection.
How does Van Halteren Technologies ensure durability and protection for its cylinders in these demanding applications?
Van Halteren Technologies ensures superior durability by using specialized surface treatments, such as the Enduroq 2000 series for mining cylinder surfaces. This high-quality coating allows each cylinder to withstand the harsh conditions of the mining industry, including rocks, sand, and other abrasive materials that can cause untimely damage. Our cylinders are designed to endure heavy-duty torque and extreme operational stress.
