Water/Oil/Gas/Chemicals
In the sectors water, oil, gas and chemicals often heavy bolt connections with large threads (in areas difficult to access) need to be tightened. Usually this work needs to be performed in hazardous environments subject to explosion risks, and the tightening of pressurized pipes with flanges requires high forces.
For working in areas with an explosion hazard the alkitronic pneumatic torque multipliers are ideal. When heavy bolting connections with large threats need to be tightened with high forces, alkitronic hydraulic wrenches and pumps fit perfectly.
The right combination
In explosion-prone areas only hydraulic wrenches or pneumatic torque multipliers can be used, for technical reason. And in restricted spaces our versatile hydraulic wrenches provide special advantages due to their short and flat design.
When working speed counts, a combination of pneumatic torque multipliers and hydraulic wrenches proves itself since pneumatic torque multipliers offer high speed advantages of continuously rotating.
Safety – also in hazardous areas
In chemical plants or mining facilities only explosion-resistant devices and machinery can be used. High precision and reliability are particularly important. With the ATEX-certified alkitronic multiplier you are definitely on the safe side – even in environments with explosion hazards.
Application example
In practice the FLANGE BOY has proven itself for an easy and safe separating of pipe lines. Here flange couplings are mechanically pushed apart. Where very high forces are required, several FLANGE BOYs can be applied and are recommended.
