FlexiDrive Valve Actuators Assist Paper Plants

Listen to this article

Equipped with two stations and joined by a unique linear drive cable, the Smith Flow Control FlexiDrive tool offers paper and pulp plants a cost-effective remote device to safely control valve operations. The FlexiDrive valve operator is constructed of stainless steel, and holds up well in corrosive, industrial environments.

Typical paper and pulp applications can include inaccessible overhead valves, valves in pits and valves in hazardous zones.

FlexiDrive allows a user to locate a point of operation in a safe and convenient place in the plant. It is adaptable to most valves with no modifications needed. The patented flexible linear drive cable effectively delivers rotary torque for distances up to nearly 100 feet 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.
