Nova Pazova, Serbia, May 31, 2022—Parker Hannifin, the global leader in motion and control technologies, has officially authorized Pneumatik flex as the latest Parker Certified Piping Service Center in Serbia, located in Nova Pazova, Serbia.

With over 50 years of existence on the Serbian market, with the acquired loyalty and trust of their users, Pneumatik flex is the top ranking company of that market for many years in the sector of engineering, production and installation of hydraulic systems. On the world market, Pneumatik flex is present on four continents, with long-term and successful cooperation with several foreign large companies.

The Parker Complete Piping Solution (CPS) programme provides a single source solution that includes all the benefits of weld-free technology and all pipe types and dimensions to customers. Considerable added value can be achieved using a Certified Piping Service Center. This single point of contact will be able to offer everything from expert advice, design, and pre-configuration, to delivery and installation, not only saving time and money through faster installation and reduced downtime but maximising system efficiency and reliability, all focused on new piping and connections, system improvement and modernisation, and all aspects of lines, seals and materials. These services cover solutions for most markets and demanding applications in shipbuilding, the oil and gas industries, automotive and steel plants, as well as major industrial and plant applications such as presses, pulp and paper, renewable energy, and injection moulding.

“Welded piping presents installation challenges, with also hidden failure modes. Non-welded pipe systems can effectively be installed without the need for welders, and the Certified Piping Service Center will do the installation, including flushing and on-site fabrication. We can do the specification and design the system with the customer as well, our team of engineers can do with their engineers to ensure optimal system efficiency,” said the owner of the company Pneumatik flex, Nenad Tomic.

There is an omnipresent demand for connecting hydraulic units with machines and equipment; both as part of new installations and in the overhauling of existing equipment. Welded connections have been the traditional solution. However, there are several inherent problems with traditional welded pipe connections that are driving demand for an alternative.

The increased pressure on operators to ensure machine and production efficiency means that system failures and unscheduled maintenance due to piping and connection faults is extremely costly; both in terms of emergency repair costs and resultant production down time. Add to this the growing importance of safety and environmental protection, which is in turn fuelling demand for safer and more reliable systems, then it is clear why replacing welded connections with tested and approved non-welded technology is a growing issue in almost every industry and application.

Weld-free connections mean better reliability and safety, and reduced costs and down time. Parker offers weld-free connection technologies that are already approved and required connection technologies in many industries. The Parker Certified Piping Service Centers make these services easily accessible to the market.

Using an on-site support service takes the pressure and workload off internal teams, saving management and coordination time, as well as costs. In addition, customised solutions can be designed to meet each customer’s individual needs.

Among the latest additions to CPS are on-site containers and hot oil flushing containers. The containers house all the assembly machines required for pipes up to an outside diameter of 170mm (6 in). Hot oil flushing units ensure that pipeline systems are clean and debris-free before going into operation.
