Posted by Anne Ruff on February 11, 2009

Hartridge was proud to host its annual Distributor event and welcome 120 delegates from 50 countries to itsGroup photo at the distributor event 2009, back at the Hartridge buildingannual business review and awards ceremony
19 - 21 January, 2009. The event was used by Hartridge and major fuel injection manufacturers to launch new products and initiatives for the diesel aftermarket sector.

Hartridge announced and demonstrated its dedicated common rail pump test stand (CRp-PC) with Auto Pressure Control, the CRp-PC test bench provides a cost effective, and efficient means of testing current CR pumps with flexibility and capacity for future generations of CR pump development. The auto pressure control function reduces the typical test time of a pump by up to 10% and when combined with automatic test plans releases the machines operator to perform other tasks in the workshop, whilst the CRp-PC tests and records the status of the pump. This greatly increases the efficiency of the machine and workshop personnel. The CRp-PC was demonstrated with Hartridge’s new Bosch CP2 pump kit. Hartridge believes that with the CRp-PC and the planned launch of Auto Pressure Control upgrade package for the AVM2-PC test bench, Group photo at the distributor event 2009, in Windsorthat Hartridge CR pump test equipment is ideally placed to improve the profitability of CR pump repair both in "All Makes" and authorised test modes.

Additionally Hartridge provided updated information and demonstrations on the IFT-70 and HH705 test products for the initial testing of traditional, CR injector and EUI plus theFQM-20 Fuel Quality Meter which provides a measurement of the particles in a fuel sample to determine the potential for the vehicles fuel to damage or shorten the life of the fuel injection system. These products provide the ideal platform for vehicle workshops or small diesel workshops to get started with common rail and EUI technologies.
