• |
Low cost alternative to permanent dedicated actuators. |
• |
No requirement for dedicated power supply. |
• |
Operates from adjacent plant air or single-phase electrical supply. |
• |
Suitable for use in all Hazardous Areas. |
• |
Ideal for minimum facilities installations. |
• |
Suitable for all climatic conditions. |
• |
Wide band torque capability with variable torque adjustment as standard. |
• |
Ideal for moving tight or partially-seized valves. |
• |
Adaptable to any size/type of valve. |
• |
Eliminates operator fatigue and greatly reduces the risk of injury. |
• |
Reduces work crew tasks to one-man operation. |
• |
Fully portable - can manage banks of valves with a single drive tool. |
|
| |
Three simple steps to easi-drive installation and use:
1. Decide if you want to retain the option of manual valve operation via the handwheel.
2 Install the relevant easi-drive equipment.
3 Connect drive gun to power supply (pneumatic, electric or
hydraulic). |

| Easi-Drive is an efficient and cost-effective alternative to a dedicated actuator. Wherever you have manually-operated valves that have high operating torques, hundreds of handwheel turns to open/close or are just difficult to operate then easi-drive is your solution. |
| |
 |
Each drive tool has a unique serial number and is supplied with it’s corresponding certificate of calibration. The example provided shows the relationship between the input air supply pressure, via the SFC air filter, regulator and Lubro (FRL) pack and the output torque that the drive tool can produce.
By adjusting the air pressure you can easily restrict the torque output of the drive tool for your precise requirements. |
