The efficient and safe operation of valves is crucial in many industries.
Traditionally, drills and impact guns have been used to tighten and loosen valves. However, these tools are primarily designed for tasks such as breaking loose nuts and bolts, often using vibration to achieve this.
This approach can be inappropriate for valve operation, as valves require a more controlled and precise application of torque.
The modec Portable Valve Actuator (PVA), on the other hand, is specifically designed and engineered for valve operation. It provides a safer, more efficient, and more accurate solution compared to traditional tools.
Controlled Torque and Speed:
The modec Portable Valve Actuator is equipped with a built-in torque limiter that ensures accurate torque application, reducing the risks of overtightening or undertightening, which can lead to leaks or damage. Additionally, the PVA's speed controller and revolution counter provide operators with complete control over the valve’s operation, making both opening and closing processes safer and more reliable.
Reduced Risk of Injuries:
Unlike drills and impact guns, which operate with high impact and uncontrolled torque, the modec's PVA uses controlled torque and a torque reaction system. This significantly minimizes the risk of hand injuries, a common hazard with traditional high-impact tools.
Faster Operation:
They drastically reduces the time needed to operate valves, particularly in applications where frequent valve adjustments are required. This leads to greater efficiency, cutting down both the time of operation and the number of operators necessary for the task.
Reduced Labor Costs:
Increased operational efficiency and reduced manpower translate into significant cost savings for businesses. By utilizing valve actuators, fewer operators are needed, and valve operations are streamlined, contributing to a reduction in labor costs.
Consistent Torque:
The Modec PVA has a wide range of torque settings, and allow the operator to apply the right amount of torque depending on the valve.
Revolution counter:
The modec PVA has a built on revolution counter to have a precise and accurate position of the valve after any operation.
Reduced Risk of Damage:
Overtightening with a drill or impact gun can damage valves and piping. The PVA's torque limiter helps avoid this issue.
▶️Fatigue damage: Repeated vibrations can cause fatigue damage to the valve's materials, leading to cracks or fractures over time.
▶️Loose connections: Vibration can loosen connections between the valve and its components, such as gaskets or seals, resulting in leaks.
▶️Reduced valve life: Constant vibration can shorten the overall lifespan of the valve. These issues can compromise the valve's reliability and performance, ultimately leading to increased maintenance costs and potential downtime.
The modec Portable Valve Actuator is a powerful solution for industries that need safe and efficient valve operations.
It solves the problems of traditional tools like impact guns, especially when it comes to safety, efficiency, vibration damage, and accuracy. With the modec's tool, companies can reduce risks, save on labor costs, and ensure their valve systems last longer and work more reliably.
