Hydraulic Bleed Manifold

Hydraulic Bleed Manifolds are popular in todays safety conscious mining environment because of its ability to safely bleed stored energy from hydraulic system.

What Is It ?
A device used to relieve and test for stored pressure in hydraulic systems.

Why was it developed?

• To safely and effectively release stored hydraulic pressure.
• To assist with the isolation of stored energy as an integral part of isolation procedures.

What are some of the hazards without the manifold?

• Burns from oil which routinely operates in excess of 90 degrees Celsius.
• Eye injuries from hot spraying oil.
• Oil injection injury.

How Does It Work?

• The method of operation is as simple as opening a tap and pulling a lever.

When Is It Used?

• The bleed manifold is used whenever the hydraulic system must be opened to atmosphere.
• When a hose needs changing.
• When removing components.
• When diagnosing faults.

Support Available
