Emergency portable valve operation February 1st 2010 The Easi-Drive portable valve
actuator from Smith Flow Control
provides wastewater treatment plants
with emergency operation of valves
in the event of a power failure. Easi-
Drive can open or close electric
actuated valves during a power
outage to protect against overflows.
In the event of an outage, an
operator can use Easi-Drive powered
by an electric generator to make the
required valve movements until
power is restored.
Easi-Drive is a fully portable,
lightweight and adaptable tool
available in electric, pneumatic and
battery powered modes. Suitable
for all hazardous areas, Easi-Drive
reduces work
crew tasks
down to oneman
operation and
eliminates
operator
fatigue and
risk of injury.
The tool's
reaction
device
protects the
operator from
the "kick"
normally
associated
with a torque
wrench. More articles from Smith Flow Control Ltd: |
