Electric clutch

I guess I am comparing it to how we are doing it now. I wonder how many hydraulic pumps you could run off of it? I guess you would have one main pump running lines to many different appliances.
 
All the hydraulic components a pretty cheap. I just hope we can rech the flows and psi's necessary to run all the components efficiently.
 
Some general info for all:

Horsepower Requirements

Because different types of prime movers vary in their pumping performance capabilities, the horsepower required to achieve a given output depends on the energy source.

Hydraulic power is more efficient than either electric power or internal combustion.
Various requirements may be calculated using these relationships:

Hydraulic horsepower required = Pressure x Flow / 1714

Brake horsepower (electric) required = Pressure x Flow / 1457

Gas engine horsepower required = Pressure x Flow / 1100

Hydraulic Driven Pumps, some are driven with independent hydraulic drivers and others driver built in.

I have never used one, but it seems like a good idea. You'd have to use an unloader with a pressure switch built in, so the clutch kicks out on unload and re-engages when the trigger is depressed.

Electric Clutches seems like the new wave for Espec for 2010

I have done a lot of research and it is very time consuming. I have a pretty good budget for new equipment, I will make some calls and see if anyone is interested (chem injection). Those prices make the electric clutches look pretty good.

So what was the final equipment decision
