Emergency portable valve operation
11 January 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. The product 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.
Emergency portable valve operation
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 one-man 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. The actuator also features a variable output torque adjustment, available in various sizes of maximum output from 350 to 8,500 foot pounds. Unlike an impact wrench, which could damage a valve, the Easi-Drive is a continuous drive system.
