Message: | According to the financial dept this morning, there was a sample fee for hydraulic pilot-operated relief valves. I knew it was from ROQUET company in Spain. One year ago, Domingo in their company had a hydraulic pilot-operated relief valve that needed AAK to make samples, but was unwilling to pay $2,000 of the sampling fee. The original factory didn't need them to pay, so they chose that factory to produce this hydraulic pilot-operated relief valve. Last week, Domingo came to me again to ask if there was time for sampling and they would pay the sampling fee.
After communication, it was learned that the hydraulic pilot-operated relief valves shipped by the original factory were used in the hydraulic power unit. Less than half a year, it was reported for repair by the customer. It is easy to have insufficient power supply of the hydraulic system during the construction process. The after-sales engineer found that the wear of the valve spool of the hydraulic pilot-operated relief valves led to leakage. He had to use the alternative pilot-operated relief valves first and asked Domingo to contact the original manufacturer to solve the problem. The original manufacturer reported that the hydraulic pilot-operated relief valves had not been worn for more than 1 year previously. The working pressure is more than 450bar this time. The domestic hydraulic pilot-operated relief valves can only have a service life of half a year. If you want to find a hydraulic pilot-operated relief valve with a service life of more than 1 year, you can only buy it from HAWE in Germany. They are the best manufacturer of hydraulic pilot-operated relief valves with high pressure resistance in the world, but the price is estimated to be more than twice that of Chinese manufacturers.
Domingo was a little helpless and asked the boss whether to purchase directly from HAWE in Germany or continue to look for hydraulic pilot-operated relief valve manufacturers in China. |
