Less of a strain
May 1st 2007 Netherlocks has developed a
device to facilitate the manual
operation of problematic valves,
whether they are high torque,
difficult-to-reach, or require many
handwheel rotations to activate.
The KMS is a handheld actuator
that is said to enable valves to be
operated at least 40 times faster
than by conventional means.
The KMS is suitable for all
handwheel-operated valves when
used in conjunction with its
universal drive plate. Instead of an
expensive actuator, each valve has
a plate, allowing every valve in a
plant to be activated by a single
KMS. Air-drive, it is safe for use in
potentially explosive
atmospheres.
The portable
actuator is
supplied in
lengths of 480
or 1182mm. More articles from Netherlocks BV: |
