Un Seizing Technology For All Type of Valves
Restoring Valve Performance Through Advanced Technology
Seized Valve Release is a patented technology for the release of seized valves and the cycling of critical assets whereby risk control is important, it has been patented in several countries throughout the globe.
Valve PAK® Injection Leak Sealing – A DWI Approved material used to seal leaking packing glands on valves and applied under pressure.
The causes for valves seizing:
- Valve seizure is indiscriminate of valve type, age, or size.
- Often due to corrosive particulate build up in aged assets.
- New assets suffer from excessive force in the ‘wrong’ direction.
- Over torquing valves in the closed position to obtain a ‘good’ isolation.
- Differential locking of valves in the closed position.
- Foreign particles build up in wastewater valves.
- Under specification of valve actuators.
- Idler gear seizure on crown and pinion valves.
- Incorrect gearbox set up on butterfly valves.
Solution offered by EPC:
- HydroV® utilises vibration to resonate the valve.
- Both Frequency and Amplitude can be adjusted independently.
- Low amounts of Torque are used to instigate movement in either direction.
- All parameters are continuously monitored.
- The system is fully calibrated to ensure no uncertainty.
- The system is modular and can grip to any valve in any orientation.
- The modular design makes for risk free operation and flexibility.
- The unit is pneumatic and operated remotely, outside of the ‘danger zone’.
- Indiscriminate of valve size, type or age.
