Hey guys. I picked up this new to me Chinese made press brake. The story is, A guy bought it new. Didnt have a place to put it, didnt have three phase power, and after 7 years of storing it and never having it fully operational, sold it. I paid very, very little for it. Machinery is very rare and very expensive in alaska. I was thrilled even though it is typical Chinese craftsmanship. It looks to have good bones, seimens electrical components, valve body looks good, I dont see why it wouldn't work. Both motors are being reround for 240 three phase (they came 440 only) by a friend. While its apart, I am doing some quality improvements.
Id like to add a hydraulic filter. It has a strainer, but id like to add a Spin on Hydraulic filter. Maybe like 3 or 10 Microns. Where would you suggest putting it? Return line? You can see where everything returns from the valve body. I would have to cut into the return line before it enters the valve body and weld on fitting to go into the filter base. What flow and pressure rating do you think I would need? Pump produces about 5000PSI. Below are some photos
