3 Cartridge Relief Valves in the same system, AAK integrated 3 into 1, and reduced the cost by 40%

Mayer has been working in a hydraulic equipment company in Brazil for 3 years. In the first half of this year, they customized a hydraulic power unit for a customer. The pressure supply range is 20bar to 450bar. 3 direct-acting cartridge relief valves, high, medium and low pressure, are used. The equipment was debugged smoothly, and the customer was also very satisfied. However, the batch order was stuck because of the price. The customer reported that the price of similar equipment in the market was 20% cheaper than theirs, and requested that the price of this hydraulic power unit be reduced by 15% before the batch order could be confirmed. The boss asked the engineer to optimize the system to reduce cost. The engineer said that the only way to reduce the cost was to combine the 3 cartridge direct-acting relief valves into 1. The original cartridge relief valve manufacturer was powerless.
