When an actuator breaks down, it takes months to get a new one in place. With help of HYTORC, valves can be operated all times. Savings can range from thousands of Euros, up to millions of Euros.

Application: Shut off valves.
Tooling: Avanti-8 with special adapters and a custom made reaction arm. A “mobile unit” was designed for storage.
Old method: There was no quick solution when an actuator broke down.
Problem in old situation: When an actuator breaks down, it takes months to get a new one in place. With help of the Avanti-8, the valves can be operated all times. Furthermore, the break-loose point of the valve can be determined for maintenance purposes.
Financial benefits: savings can be enormous, but it depends on the situation. HYTORC has done projects where valves needed to be operated and the actuator was not operational. Savings can range from thousands of Euros, up to millions of Euros.
An adapter is used to fit the tool on the valve and the edge of the flange is used as reaction point for the reaction arm.
The shut off valve can be operated with help of a custom made reaction fixture, which is placed around the flange. The reaction fixture can be used on all kinds of shut off valves.
