Hydrodrive HSS are manufactured using technology from the aviation industry. The pump house comes from a single aluminium block, hardened and hot-pressed. The 10 mm thickness and the special material prevent leakage or oil film/fog formation even under extremely high working pressure. The 3 ball bearings in the pump ensure outstanding precision and exceptionally smooth, consistent functioning. Each pump house is anodized and due to the surface treatment is resistant to the highly corrosive effects of the sea. The cylinders are also made of cold drawn, hardened aluminum. The thick-walled cylinder is made of a special raw material with even higher tensile strength than the traditional bronze therefore tolerates high working pressure. As the pump house, also all the cylinders and parts are anodized and are resistant to the salt corrosion. There is no reliability without quality, and quality is our benchmark. Our data show the percentage of our Hydrodrive HSS replaced within the first 3 years is less than 0.1% and within the first 5 years is less than 0.3%. The durability average of our system is more than 8 years without maintenance.
