Easy valve operation

04 June 2013

Smith Flow Control's EasiDrive portable valve actuator can be used to effortlessly open and close valves in oil refineries, power plants, paper mills and chemical processing facilities.

One operator is able to drive multiple valves with a single tool; fatigue and risk of injury are said to be reduced, resulting in time and cost savings.

 

The low weight device enables workers to operate valves with ease. A comfortable pistol-grip allows the operator to have total control of the system and the specially designed reaction kit is said to provide protection from the 'kick' associated with some other torque devices.

 

EasiDrive has a variable output torque, controlled by a choice of pre-set Filter Regulator Lubricator packs. The company says this ensures the correct torque is applied at all times and operators are safe, even when under pressure to respond quickly.
