The easi-drive is an efficient and cost-effective valve operating system where valve size, pressure rating or work environmental conditions would normally demand a permanent dedicated actuator or would require a work crew.

Designed to operate in/with minimum facilities, easi-drive is available in three optional modes - pneumatic, hydraulic or electric. In any production or manufacturing facility easi-drive can be run on adjacent plant air or from available single-phase electrical supply.

The easi-drive is fully portable and can be supplied to manage any single valve or bank of valves. The system consists of three elements - drive gun, valve couple and a power pack. All torque ranges can be catered for using variable torque adjustment capability as standard.

Features and user benefits:

• Low cost alternative to permanent dedicated actuators.
• No requirement for dedicated power supply.
• Operates from adjacent plant air or single-phase electrical supply.
• Suitable for use in all Hazardous Areas.
• Ideal for minimum facilities installations.
• Wide band torque capability with variable torque adjustment as standard.
• Ideal for moving tight or partially-seized valves.
• Adaptable to any size/type of valve.
• Eliminates operator fatigue and greatly reduces the risk of injury.
• Reduces work crew tasks to one-man operation.
• Fully portable - can manage banks of valves with a single drive tool.
