Easy mounting
Smith Flow Control (SFC) has
introduced its ISO-pattern IML
intermediate lock with universal
mounting. The IML lock uses an
operating key to lock the actuator in
an open or closed position so that the
valve cannot turn, no matter what. No
custom brackets are required; any
valve or actuator with ISO standard
mountings is compatible with the
IML lock.
Provides safer valve operation
Smith Flow Control has
ushered in an affordable way
for companies to safely
manage valve operations. The
EasiDrive portable valve
actuator securely and
effectively operates valves in
power plants, oil refineries,
paper mills and chemical
processing facilities. One
operator can efficiently
operate multiple valves with a
single tool while reducing
fatigue and injury risk.
Removes strain
The Netherlocks Power Wrench
portable pneumatic valve actuator is
ergonomically designed for safe
operation and employee comfort. The
Power Wrench connects to valves by a
bolt-on universal drive plate, allowing
a single Power Wrench to operate
multiple valves: plates can be installed
on all necessary valves, then the
operator can quickly attach and use
the device as and when needed.
