Modern mining equipment is increasingly complex, costly, and difficult to operate productively. As a result, proper operator training has become everyone's business. The fact is, it takes training to spot a truck and position it for loading under a full bucket. It also takes training to back up a truck just using mirrors under that bucket. Otherwise, your mining operations will suffer from lower productivity, higher fuel costs, increased tire wear, and more equipment maintenance and repair.
Because hydraulic power is used in everything from automotive brakes to industrial robots, the skills taught by Amatrol’s Basic Hydraulics Learning System (85-BH) can open the doors to careers in various fields, such as manufacturing, transportation, agricultural, and construction. Basic Hydraulics training introduces the fundamental hydraulic principles, such as pressure and flow, while simultaneously teaching industry-relevant hydraulic skills; this signature Amatrol approach to curriculum reinforces both theory and practice, which produces a well-rounded understanding of the topic. As an example, after completing this training system, learners will not only be able to basic hydraulic operation, installation, design, and troubleshooting for various applications, but also understand concepts like flow rate versus cylinder speed and pressure versus cylinder force.
Basic Hydraulic training includes gauges, manifolds, cylinders, valves (relief/sequence, pressure reducing, check, directional control), flow meter, and hydraulic motor. These components are all industrial quality to ensure durability and help learners become better prepared for what they will encounter on the job. All Amatrol products are made from top-notch materials and carefully crafted (hand-welded, painted, and silk-screened) to create tough, attractive, well designed industrial training systems that facilitate learning and will serve teachers and students for years.
Amatrol’s Basic Pneumatics training system (85-BP) introduces pneumatic principles through a combination of Amatrol’s top-flight multimedia curriculum with hands-on industrial pneumatic skill-building.

Amatrol’s Electro-Fluid Power Learning System (85-EF) can be used with eight different basic pneumatic or hydraulic learning systems to teach electrical relay control of hydraulic and pneumatic systems and their industry applications. Learners will practice industry-relevant skills related to these new topics including developing a sequence of operations given an application, connecting and operating an indicator lamp given a ladder diagram, and many more!
The Electro-Fluid Power training system provides learners with the components to set up a variety of industrial relay control circuits using ladder diagrams and Boolean logic. Some of these components include selector, pushbutton, limit, and pressure switches; control and timer relays; and hydraulic and pneumatic directional control valves.
The Electro-Hydraulics Training System (85-EH) teaches electrical relay control of industrial hydraulic applications. Learners will study industry-relevant electro-hydraulic skills including operation, installation, performance analysis, and design. The electro-hydraulic training system can be used with Basic Hydraulics (85-BH) or any Amatrol learning system that includes the Basic Hydraulics training system. Electro-Hydraulics can also optionally be used with Intermediate Hydraulics (85-IH).
The Electro-Hydraulics training system includes an electrical control panel with relay control components and an electrical valve module with solenoid-operated hydraulic directional control valves and electrical / electronic sensors. These components will be used to study a variety of topics including electrical control systems, basic control devices, power devices, control relays, sequencing control, timer control, pressure control applications, and circuit applications.
Amatrol’s Electro-Pneumatics Learning System (85-EP) adds to the Basic Pneumatics Learning System (850-P1) to teach electrical relay control of pneumatic systems and their industry applications. Learners will study industry-relevant skills related to these topics including operation, installation, performance analysis, and design.
The 85-EP provides students with the components to set up a variety of industrial relay control circuits using ladder diagrams and Boolean logic. Relay control is a fundamental building block in the study of automation since programmable controllers and solid state controls also use the same programming methods.
The model 85-EP includes an Electrical Control Module with relay control components, Electrical Valve Module with solenoid operated pneumatic directional control valves and electrical/electronic sensors, lead set, student curriculum for both theory and lab, student reference guide, and an instructor’s guide.
The Grid-Tie Learning System – Solar (85-GT1) features real-world components that are commonly found in commercial and residential environments to help make learners job-ready and prepares them for certifications. For example, the 85-GT1 is equipped with a Photovoltaic Combiner box and a multiple panel solar array, allowing learners to connect panels in series and parallel; an Iskra ME162 single-phase meter that measures and registers electric energy in single phase two-wire networks using globally-recognized products; and an Enphase Solar Microinverter that helps students understand converting DC generated by a single solar module to AC.
Amatrol’s Intermediate Hydraulics training system (85-IH) introduces advanced hydraulic components (pilot-operated check valves, two-position directional control valves, telescoping cylinders, etc.), explains how each works, and then shows how they relate to real-world applications in elevators, punch presses, backhoes, and many more. This approach to curriculum is an Amatrol signature: reinforce both theory and practice to produce a well-rounded understanding of the topic. Learners will be able to understand concepts like pressure intensification and cylinder regeneration while also being able to operate, install, design, and troubleshoot hydraulic components.
Intermediate Hydraulics includes directional control valves, relief valves, a flow control valve, a check valve, and an accumulator. Amatrol training systems use industrial-grade components displayed on hand-welded, painted and silk-screened panels, and workbenches made from top-flight materials. This precise attention to quality and detail ensures a tough, visually appealing, user-friendly design that will last for years and help learners gain experience with components they’ll actually see on the job.
The skills and principles offered in Intermediate Hydraulics build on the fundamentals taught by the Basic Hydraulics (85-BH), but also lead to additional, more advanced learning systems such as Advanced Hydraulics (85-AH) and Electro-Hydraulics (85-EH). The advanced hydraulics training system teaches learners about hydraulic performance analysis and maintenance, while the electro-hydraulics training system (which is used in several exercises with the intermediate hydraulics training system) introduces electrical relay control of hydraulic systems.
Amatrol’s Intermediate Pneumatics Training System (85-IP) builds on basic pneumatic skills by introducing more advanced concepts such as air logic, ways to decelerate a pneumatic cylinder, and how to prevent condensation in a pneumatic circuit. Learners will have the opportunity to study these concepts while working with a hands-on training module, which enables practicing skills such as connecting and operating a two-way valve and changing an air filter element; this approach of simultaneously teaching theory and practice reinforces each element and results in a thorough understanding of the topic.
The Intermediate Pneumatics training system includes directional control valves, check valve, pneumatic cylinder, Venturi block, assorted filter elements, and much more. Amatrol’s commitment to using top-flight, industry-standard materials ensures that learners work with components they’ll actually see on the job.
