Precision Marine Engineering Solutions
Hydraulic systems are the backbone of modern maritime operations. From steering and rudder control to heavy lifting tools and water-tight doors, these systems must be unfailingly reliable. In the unpredictable environment of the open sea, efficiency and power are paramount to ensuring the safety of both crew and vessel.
At Trident Hydraulics, we supply a hand-selected range of sophisticated pumps and valves designed to thrive in harsh marine conditions. Our commitment to high-technology solutions ensures your marine applications operate with maximum uptime.
Salami Hydraulic Components: 70 Years of Excellence
Established in 1956, Salami Spa now boasts seven decades of experience in the hydraulic sector. Their components are finely tuned for durability and performance.
- Salami Pumps: Known for their robust construction and ability to maintain high volumetric efficiency over a long service life.
- Salami Valves: We supply both pressure-compensated directional control valves and standard directional control valves. Manufactured from high-grade cast iron, these valves are exceptionally durable. Their design ensures they perform reliably even in adverse, corrosive maritime conditions.
Settima Pumps: Innovation in Low-Noise Hydraulics
For marine applications where noise reduction and cost-effectiveness are priorities, Settima is the industry leader. Founded in 1978 by Engineer Cagnani, Settima has revolutionised the market with pumps that reduce vibration and noise—a critical factor for comfort and structural integrity on board ships.
Key Pump Types for Marine Applications
While there are various configurations available, four main types of hydraulic pumps dominate the marine industry:
- Gear Pumps: Simple, robust, and cost-effective.
- Vane Pumps: Excellent for low-noise requirements.
- Transmission Pumps: Specifically designed for propulsion and drive systems.
- Load-Sensing Piston Pumps: The most frequent choice for modern vessels. These are highly efficient as they automatically alter displacement based on the movements of the control valve, saving energy and reducing wear.
