Introducing the Modec MC89 Papillon.
This butterfly shaped torque management device was designed to create a torque reaction fixture for a valve below ground where we faced the following issues:
- There was no vehicular access to the valve.
- The valve was very high turning torque.
- There was no existing fixed structure to locate the torque reaction arm and lanyard.
We designed the fixture to fit in the aperture hole and locate against the inner side walls of the valve chamber.
The portable valve actuator offers over 900Nm turning torque and up to 320RPM spindle rotation, depending on model choice.
This once again demonstrates Valtorx’s technical expertise in handling valve turning applications of high complexity. This equipment is made to order for JN Bentley and delivered to a site location in Warrington, England.
