Plate heat exchangers are designed to provide highly efficient heat transfer for various industrial applications, like chemical and food processing. Regular maintenance intervals for plate heat exchangers are needed in order to maintain production efficiency. Overtime, dirt, silt, sand and other debris can build up and impact the heat exchanger’s performance and cause unplanned downtime.…
The EFCip electric torque multipliers are built to increase joint accuracy and integrity. In industries that demand leak-free joints or preventing bolting failures, the philosophy of “getting it right the first time” should be adopted by all industries. The ability to properly and securely fasten joints such as flanges with gaskets is important for critical…
Pipelines that stretch across miles and miles of vast open, remote land transporting liquids and gases require maintenance. Deep below the surface in an underground mining operation, large industrial vehicles or tools require routine maintenance. The large bolts used to securely join sections of pipes and valves together or used with mining vehicles require torque…
A dial torque wrench is typically used as a quality control instrument to verify or monitor torque. What is a dial wrench? A type of wrench that measures the amount of torque applied to a fastener and displays the torque value on a dial. The dial wrench captures the finishing torque applied to a fastener…
The ability to audit joints such as flanges with gaskets is important for critical applications where leakage or rupturing of the connection can have disastrous, costly or environmental implications. Auditing is a preventative quality measure and is a required part of an ISO or other quality management system. Auditing large bolts is very difficult. Use…
A pulse tool has the speed of an impact wrench with nearly the repeatability of a clutch based shut-off torque tool. Containing precision-machined parts the pulse unit is a sealed chamber that is filled with a formulated hydraulic fluid. Pulse blades with a custom designed precision roller push the fluid inside the rotating chamber generating…
The CLD pneumatic torque multiplier provides precision tightening and loosening of all heavy-duty fastening connections. The torque multiplier shuts-off when the pre-set torque is achieved. It’s non-impacting and operates at a smooth, continuous rotation. The pneumatic wrench increases speed and productivity, as it is faster than a hydraulic wrench and is less expensive. The tool…
In large construction projects there are many factors that cause delays and unplanned expenses. Some are uncontrollable like weather. Other factors such as improper planning, lack of workers, or inadequate tooling are controllable. Selecting an improper tool for one aspect of a project can cause delays, rework and costs increases. Worldwide, impact wrenches are a…
Hydraulic wrenches are notorious for their heavy ratchets, bulky compressors and laborious operation. Hydraulic tools operate through a hydraulic ram that extends and retracts, ratcheting the head. This is a long and tedious process that requires the operator to activate and stand by the pump with a hand-held controller. Torque Multipliers increase speed and productivity,…
When operating torque tools for high torque and speed applications, it is extremely important to consider the issue of torque reaction of the tools being used. For torque tools such as torque multipliers, pneumatic screwdrivers, nutrunners, DC control tools and other torque tools that will be used for the torque application, you need to consider both…
