Why a PVA ? Valves maintenance PVA Technical characteristicsIndustrial valve operations demand efficiency and ergonomics. Imagine a portable valve actuator that redefines efficiency and ease of use. The modec MC89 is that reality. This case study shows how innovative design can improve the tool. We’ll focus on the MODEC MC89 and see how it stands out from the competition.
One of our clients recently had the opportunity to test both our portable valve actuator and a competitor’s model. The results were eye-opening. While using the competitor’s actuator, they encountered significant issues—it took over 45 minutes to complete the task, overheated during operation, and consumed two batteries to finish the job.
Portable valve actuators commonly face two major challenges:
These issues can significantly impact productivity and operator comfort.
The MC89 demonstrates remarkable battery efficiency:
➡️One battery lasts 18 minutes of operation
➡️Competitors require 45 minutes to perform the same tasks
This 60% reduction in operating time translates to significant productivity gains and less downtime for battery changes.
While competing actuators heat up significantly during use, the MC89's energy efficiency is optimized thanks to a carefully designed construction.
The actuator, a product of rigorous manufacturing, withstands the harshest conditions and ensures optimal continuity of service. It thus allows:
➡️Improved operator comfort
➡️Reduces the risk of heat-related component damage
➡️Allows for longer continuous operation
At just 5.4 kilos, the MC89 Portable Valve Actuator is exceptionally lightweight and compact
This design:
➡️Improves maneuverability in tight spaces
➡️Reduces operator fatigue during extended use
➡️Enhances safety in challenging environments
Despite its compact size, the MC89 doesn't compromise on power:
The MC89 Portable Valve Actuator comes with an embeded speed control and torque limiter electronic system for an optimal people and material protection as well as a perfect adaptation to different constraints and environments. When reaching the torque limit, the actuator will stop and sound.
The optimized conception of the MC89 has led to remarkable improvements in both ergonomics and autonomy:
1. Extended Operation: Two 18V Lithium-Ion batteries provide up to one hour of continuous use
2. Flexibility: Option to use main power connection for unlimited autonomy
3. Rapid Recharging: Batteries can be fully recharged in just 1 hour
4. Versatile Applications: Suitable for various industries including water treatment, petrochemicals, and energy production.
The MODEC MC89 case study shows how smart engineering solves common problems with portable valve actuators.
The MC89 reduces operating time, handles heat better, and is easier to use, setting a new benchmark for efficiency and reliability. Tools like the MC89 are driving safer, faster, and more effective operations across different industries.
