Instruction
• During all set up procedure, loads must be safely transferred. • During all construction phases, all components and units must be safely stabilised. • According to the formwork system choosen, admissible fresh concrete pressure must not be exceeded. Such a case will cause to formwork overload and more deflection both on formwork and concrete, even breakage and overload on tie-rods. Maximum working load of tie-rods used must be checked. • Person who works on the system in all phases (i.e. setting up, erection, concreting, dismantling and disassembly etc.) should be assure to have enough and safe workplace. • The formwork removal must be done after the concrete has reached sufficient strength. • Formwork removal must be done by using lever arms or other tools provided together with the formwork system but not the crane or any other devices which will cause unwanted results. • In order to keep the scaffolding, platform, formwork or other parts stable and safe, user should check the conditions where the procedure occurs during the formwork removal procedure. • Any small parts used in the system should be fixed in their place to avoid loosing or falling freely. • All connecting parts must be used properly to provide correct functioning of them. Selecting of wrong part could cause leakage of the relevant products under loading. • All connections must be checked periodically. Especially bolt and nut connections and pin connections should be controlled. • Enough number of Fire Extinguishers and any other necessary items against danger of fire should be kept available where the formwork and scaffolding systems need.

Hydraulic Power Units
On each MESA-HCP Platform, cylinders are syncronised and controlled by MESA-Hydraulic Power Units.
HU-201006 : For HCP System having max. 4-Cylinders
HU-201006-08 : For HCP System having max. 8-Cylinders
4 Cylinders Control Unit
Working Pressure: 250 bar Maximum Pressure : 260 bar Signal Voltage : 24 VDC Main Voltage: 3 x 400 VAC
Each cylinder can be controlled one by one or multiple combination.HPU is able to work all of cylinders all together. Every cylinder can be controlled separately by own direction control valve that located on hydraulic control block.Direction control valve can determine the direction of the load.
All equipments are selected according to the 250 bar working pressure.There is a pressure relief valve (10) on the each cylinder line that adjusted 250 bar. Pressure relief valve can keep the system against over pressure.
One tandem gear pump (6) is driven by electrical motor (9). Electrical motor is selected according to the pressure and flow level.
Hydraulic pump can provide the 250 bar as nominal system pressure and also 4.5 l/min flow level as maximum. Flow level can be adjusted by flow control valve (13).
Actual pressure can be read on pressure gauge screen (12) that mounted on each line. Return line filter (5) has enough capacity to excellent filtration and protection of system. It is selected as filtration media 20 micron. Easy change of filter element and magnetic pre-filtration is possible.
Oil level and temperature can be followed by flow/temperature gauge (3).
Quick couplings provide easy connection and keeping line pressure (14).
