Portable Valve Actuator Survey & Demo

We offer a survey service for our Modec portable valve actuators. This is done to gather information about the existing valves and winding gear at the customer’s site.

During a survey we can measure break-out torque of the valve stem. This is essential so that we can propose the best portable valve actuator which offers the right combination of speed and torque needed to turn the customers valve.

We will also take measurements of the valve drive stem. This is important so we can select the best connection adaptors and torque management devices.
If the portable valve actuator achieves a good snug fit, this gives the user confidence and reduces the risk of strain injury.

These photos are taken from a recent site survey for the Environment Agency on the River Thames nearby The Trout Public House in Oxford.

At this location are 6 slide valves (penstocks), all fitted with fixed Rotork actuators. The portable device will be used to enable valve operation in the event of power outage.

Another great opportunity for Total Lockout with Modec Portable Valve Actuators.
