Nantong, China | May 27, 2025

The vertical hydraulic cylinder disassembly machine has been successfully installed and commissioned at Nantong COSCO Shipping Engineering Co., Ltd., marking another milestone in the shipyard's equipment modernization program.

Key Highlights:
✔ Smooth Installation & Commissioning - The machine was installed with precision alignment and tested under operational conditions
✔ Final Acceptance Completed - All performance parameters met or exceeded specifications
✔ Enhanced Maintenance Capability - Provides efficient disassembly/assembly of large hydraulic cylinders up to 500mm diameter

Technical Advantages Demonstrated:

• 300,000N.m booster torque successfully handled severely rusted cylinder components

• Automatic centering system reduced alignment time by 60% compared to manual methods

• Stepless speed control allowed optimal adjustment for different cylinder types

The shipyard's maintenance team reported significantly improved workflow efficiency during trial operations, particularly in handling propulsion system cylinders for VLCC and bulk carrier repairs.

"This advanced disassembly solution will become a cornerstone of our equipment maintenance strategy," stated the shipyard's Chief Engineer. "Its precision and power address our most challenging cylinder repair needs."
