Hi I am new here but have often viewed the great advice given regarding hydraulics.
I am building a wood processor - I'll post some pics later. It has twin Cassapa 20gpm open centre tandem pumps, a 30hp Kubota diesel, a lifting table/ram/spool, a log splitter spool feeding a 4"x2"x18" cylinder and a hydraulic motored 12' conveyor attached.
Question, how to power the whole circuit
I'm thinking of combining the pump outflows and feeding these first to a 2 spool valve block with PB facility - one spool for the lifting table (with in-line one-way reducer) and the other a motor control spool feeding perhaps a priority valve for conveyor speed control and then taking the PB to feed the detent splitter valve. The hyd motor will run all the time.
Will the motor (an axial piston type running at low revs) rob the splitter valve too much or conversly, will the splitter valve opening stall the motor?? I don't want to get into flow dividers as they will cause heat build up, I think.
Any thoughts or advice are most welcome
