VIVOIL OLEODINAMICA VIVOLO BEGINS ITS JOURNEY IN AMERICA Vivoil Oleodinamica Vivolo (Bologna, Italy) is one of Italy’s leading manufacturers of hydraulic gear pumps, gear motors and flow dividers. Domenico Vivolo founded the company in 1985, after he worked for 20 years as head of production with another gear pump supplier based in Bologna. Vivolo continues to serve as president of the firm. With over 70% of its sales based on exports, Vivoil Oleodinamica Vivolo is well regarded internationally while retaining its commitment that every part is “Made in Italy.” The company produces more than 13,000 units per month at its Bologna headquarters in the heart of the Italian hydraulic manufacturing region, and is ready to face the U.S. market with three key factors: Reliability: The company’s staff, who have been working in international markets for over 30 years, have a great deal of experience in exchanging skills, identifying new needs and developing new solutions. Flexibility: The quest for maximum flexibility is a shared mission at Vivoil Oleodinamica Vivolo. Less focused on standard products, the company’s flexible manufacturing methods allow it to offer custom solutions for its customers. Quality: With ISO 9001:2008 quality certification, each component, from raw materials
to machining and assembly, is checked at every stage, and every finished product is tested prior to leaving the factory. The company’s range of pumps, gear motors and flow dividers—from Group 0.5 to Group 3 with an almost infinite number of combinations of flanges, shafts, and displacements—allows it to serve the U.S. market by building relationships with local distributors.
The company offers a wide range of flow dividers with or without built-in relief valves and has a new flow divider it says is unique to the hydraulics industry. MIA-FD is a manifold style instantaneous auto-compensating flow divider with a cetop three interface, which, with the addition of open center valves, makes it possible to switch off flows to sections without intensification.
