Portable valve actuators
14 October 2013
Large valves used in the paper and pulp industries can be safely operated with Smith Flow Control's EasiDrive portable valve operating system.
EasiDrive’s reaction device transmits torque onto the valve body and away from the operator, which is said to make it one of the safest valve operating systems available.
Smith Flow says the EasiDrive is a cost-effective alternative to a dedicated valve actuator. Paper and pulp plants often use manually operated valves with high operating torques. These can require hundreds of hand wheel turns to open and close or are just difficult to operate. Unlike an impact wrench that can damage a valve, the EasiDrive is a continuous drive system.
