MACPROTEC ENGINEERING / MACHYD
Hydraulic Simulation & Troubleshooting Software
Your Hydraulic Expert, on Every Shift.
Understand the system. Identify the fault. Reduce troubleshooting time.
MACHYD is a plant-specific hydraulic simulation and troubleshooting software developed by MACPROTEC Engineering for complex industrial hydraulic systems.
Built from actual equipment schematics, MACHYD transforms static hydraulic drawings into interactive simulations, allowing maintenance teams to visualize oil flow, simulate component failures, investigate faults, and identify likely root causes.
01 / CAPABILITIES
Why MACHYD?
When Hydraulics Stop, Production Stops.
Hydraulic systems in clinker coolers, vertical roller mills, and other critical cement plant equipment involve complex arrangements of pumps, valves, actuators, and control circuits.
Troubleshooting these systems using conventional OEM drawings can be time-consuming, particularly when a fault in one component produces symptoms elsewhere in the circuit.
MACHYD bridges the gap between hydraulic schematics and real equipment behavior, helping maintenance teams understand system operation, narrow down potential failures, and determine the most useful checks.
02 / CAPABILITIES
Built Around Your Hydraulic System
Your Equipment. Your Schematics. Your Simulation.
Plant-Specific Circuit Models
Hydraulic systems are recreated from actual as-built schematics, component specifications, and equipment documentation.
Interactive Oil Flow Visualization
Visualize pressure, return, pilot, and load-sensing oil paths, together with valve positions, solenoid states, and operating sequences.
Component Failure Simulation
Introduce faults in hydraulic components and observe their effects on equipment operation, circuit response, and system conditions.
Intelligent Fault Diagnosis
Select observed symptoms to obtain ranked potential causes and recommended diagnostic checks.
Troubleshooting History
Record confirmed failures and corrective actions to improve future troubleshooting and knowledge retention.
Offline Accessibility
A Windows-based application designed to operate offline, without requiring new sensors or an extensive IT integration project.
03 / CAPABILITIES

04 / CAPABILITIES
Simulate Faults. Identify Root Causes.
From Symptoms to the Next Diagnostic Check.
MACHYD combines interactive hydraulic circuit visualization with systematic fault diagnosis.
Visualize the System
Explore operating states, oil flow paths, component interactions, and equipment sequences.
Simulate a Fault
Introduce a component failure and observe the resulting changes in the hydraulic circuit.
Identify the Symptoms
Select observed equipment behavior, pressure indications, and operating abnormalities.
Investigate the Cause
Review ranked potential causes and recommended checks to narrow down the fault.
This approach supports more systematic troubleshooting and reduces reliance on trial-and-error component replacement.
