Compressed Air Boosters
Poppe + Potthoff Maschinenbau GmbH supplies compressor units, air amplifiers, nitrogen charging stations and pressure control systems of up to 400 bar for various gases. We offer ready-to-connect units to increase the existing pressure for pneumatic and hydraulic applications. In this way, the performance of existing systems can be increased flexibly and efficiently. Our compressor units are used wherever the existing system pressure is insufficient to implement specific applications. Air Amplifiers are suitable for the compression of pressurised air or nitrogen. Our boosters can be used for various kinds of testing and filling, recovery of gases or for other functions requiring high pressure.
High-pressure valve
In addition to technical challenges in pressure generation, applications in high-pressure technology often require special high-pressure valves with the desired properties which are only very rarely available in the market. For this purpose, Poppe + Potthoff Maschinenbau GmbH develops and manufactures high-pressure valves for the control and regulation of volume flows in hydraulic applications. The valves are pneumatically or electrically controlled.
Performance Data
High-pressure hydraulic units for oils
Poppe + Potthoff Maschinenbau GmbH supplies ready-to-connect hydraulic units up to 4,000 bar. A pneumatically driven piston pump is used for pressure generation. The pump is simply connected to the existing domestic air supply network. Accordingly, no electrical connection is necessary for the construction of the pressure. Our hydraulic units are available in various pressure stages and are used, for example, in hydraulic clamping systems.
The desired operating pressure is set at the hydraulic units by means of a pressure reducer on the pneumatic drive side. The transmission ratio (e.g.: 1:600) provides the desired operating pressure. For example, a 5-bar inlet pressure corresponds to an operating pressure of 3,000 bar. When the desired high pressure is reached, the pump stops automatically and thus no longer consumes energy.
A shut-off valve allows the separation of the unit and pressure output. The expansion valve also allows the pressure to be released into the tank.

High-pressure hydraulic units for water
In addition to the classic oil hydraulic units, Poppe + Potthoff Maschinenbau GmbH also supplies ready-to-connect water hydraulic units of up to 4,000 bar. The design of the units is largely identical to the oil hydraulic units. Water hydraulic units serve, for example, as a drive medium for washing pumps in machine tools. These systems are also available at various pressure levels and require only compressed air from the domestic air supply network as the drive medium.
The desired operating pressure in the hydraulic units is set by means of a pressure reducer on the pneumatic drive side. The pressure ratio (e.g.: 1:600) produces the desired operating pressure. For example, a 5-bar inlet pressure corresponds to an operating pressure of 3,000 bar. When the desired high pressure is reached, the pump stops automatically and thus no longer consumes energy.
A shut-off valve allows the separation of the unit and pressure output. The expansion valve also allows the pressure to be released into the tank.

Mobile pressure regulation systems
With the mobile pressure unit/pressure truck, a hydraulic pressure of up to 4,000 bar can be generated. Hydraulic supply and pressure translators are designed to customer requirements. The oil is filtered and passed via quick couplings to the proportional valve, which is mounted directly on the pressure translator and regulates the pressure build-up according to the defined specifications. The high-pressure section consists of three high-pressure valves with a pneumatic drive. Calibration connections are accommodated on the pressure transmitter. The high-pressure accumulator is equipped with a 2/2-way valve, accumulator, safety valve, manometer, storage relief valve and a pressure switch with a digital display.
The mobile pressure unit, therefore, is a compact and automatic operating system for pressure generation and control, taking into account customer-specific media and purity classes.

PRESSURE TEST BENCHES AND APPLICATIONS
PRECISE, REPEATABLE AND RELIABLE
As a specialist in pressure testing technology and state-of-the-art test rigs, Poppe + Potthoff Maschinenbau supports the development and production of particularly resilient components made of various materials – especially for automotive, shipbuilding and mechanical engineering as well as fluid and the medical industry. We offer individually designed test benches such as burst pressure test rigs, pressure cycle test benches, leak test systems, functional test rigs and autofrettage systems.
Pressure cycle test stand with vacuum test
Pressure cycle test cooling systems of ECUs, PTC heaters, high-voltage coolant heaters, ACDC and DCDC converters and other media-carrying components while controlling the ambient and media temperature of e.g. water-glycol at temperatures from -40 °C to 140 °C .
Function test bench: Battery simulation under the influence of temperature
A temperature-controlled volume flow (e.g. 50 l/min) can be generated with the Poppe + Potthoff test stands for functional testing of media-carrying components. In addition, a component from e-mobility can be energized if required and pressure cycles applied.
Leak Test Stands
With the leak test rigs from Poppe + Potthoff, various components and assemblies can be tested for leaks by means of a drop in pressure. Depending on the test requirements, our systems including a vacuum unit and low-pressure or high-pressure module can be designed for optimal leak testing. In addition, Poppe + Potthoff offers e.g. bubble tests in a water bath / underwater tests with air and gas.
Burst Test Stands up tp 200 bar
In order to prove the quality of media-carrying components, hose lines, pipes, pressure vessels and other components are pressurized until they burst.
Autofrettage up to 12 0000 bar
A flexible and expandable system for performing autofrettage on various components such as common rails and pump heads up to 12,000 bar.
Compressed Air Boosters
Poppe + Potthoff Maschinenbau GmbH supplies compressor units and pressure control systems up to 400 bar. We offer you ready-to-connect units to increase the existing pressure for pneumatic and hydraulic applications. This allows the performance of existing systems to be expanded flexibly and efficiently.
Test bench for H2 components
We offer pressure test systems for the development and validation of hydrogen and nitrogen components. The focus is on test benches in the area of pressure cycle testing, bursting pressure testing and hydrostatic strength testing.
1050 bar helium / nitrogen / hydrogen
A leak test bench equipped with a pressure module up to 1050 bar, an optionally integrated climatic chamber and a gas sniffer (e.g. Inficon) to detect leaks in H2 components such as on-tank valves, hoses, pipes, fittings, regulators, valves and fuel cell components.
Automotive
Automotive testing includes a wide range of tests. Poppe + Potthoff Maschinenbau supports the industry with state-of-the-art pressure test benches, autofrettage systems and function test benches.
Aerospace
Test systems by Poppe + Potthoff Maschinenbau put fluid systems and components for aviation applications to a hard test. During a longterm design and service life test, they undergo up to millions of pressure load changes in order to simulate the service life of a component.
Home Appliances
Household appliance manufacturers are aware of the importance that their media-carrying components must be leakproof from day one, and components must be able to withstand a higher pressure load than the operating pressure. Poppe + Potthoff Maschinenbau supports the industry with various pressure testing systems.
Medizintechnik
Test benches for medical technology components from Poppe + Potthoff Maschinenbau put a wide variety of components to the test. Reliable, repeatable and accurate pressure tests and verification processes ensure the quality of a component during research and development, and production.
Shipbuilding
Marine engines are made up of components that are exposed to extremly high pressures and require pressure testing. Among many others, cooling systems, pumps and valves in ship engines are subjected to pressure and tested for their resilience using pressure test benches from Poppe + Potthoff.
Oil and Gas
Various components from the oil and gas industry can be tested on Poppe + Potthoff pressure test benches. Drill pipes, pipes and (gas) valves are components that are exposed to changing pressure and temperature conditions and require pressure testing to ensure quality and safety.
