Prevent operator injuries
Repetitive actions subject the body to stress. Operators responsible for maintenance in large utility or refinery plants are at risk of occupational health issues, such as muscular or skeletal illnesses from repetitive strain injury (RSI) or over-exertion. They are also more prone to workplace accidents if proper procedures are not followed. A specific challenge for operators is the frequent manual operation of valves. Manually rotating these valves involves highly repetitive motions, repeatedly straining the same muscles and body parts. Additionally, remaining in the same position for extended periods causes fatigue, adding to the risk. With a Sofis portable actuator, you avoid operator injuries caused by strain or over-exertion during manual valve operations.
Actuate any valve thanks to flexible mounting
You can use the open end Power Wrench for any type of valve. Preparing the valve only takes minutes. You quickly bolt a universal drive plate onto the hand wheel. Then connect the tool to your plant air system and you are ready for operation.
