Valve Actuator With Safety Interlocking

Smith Flow Control’s FlexiDrive Valve Actuator can be applied to any conventional wheel-operated device in oil, gas or chemical processing plants to make them constantly accessible and safe. The FlexiDrive is a dependable, versatile and cost effective remote valve operator. The FlexiDrive system allows a user to locate a point of operation in a place of safety or convenience. It is adaptable to any conventional valve with no modifications needed. A patented flexible linear drive cable effectively delivers rotary torque for distances up to 30 metres, depending on the output torque required. The system can be passed through and around walls, bulkheads and floors, and is completely sealed and permanently lubricated for maintenance-free, continuous loop operation. Suitable for underwater use, the FlexiDrive is constructed from corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel. It is designed to withstand temperatures from -30 to 175°C and is delivered as a complete unit. Smith Flow Control is a leading supplier of valve interlocking systems for the oil and gas and chemical processing industries worldwide. Its interlocks can be used with virtually any kind of valve (including motorised and instrument valves), switches, vessel closures, access guards, pressure and temperature sensing systems and rail/road/sea tanker loading systems. These interlocks reduce the scope for operator error and ensure safe continuous plant operation. Smith Flow Control is a subsidiary company of Halma.
