Water/Oil/Gas/Chemicals
In the water, oil, gas and chemical sectors, heavy bolt connections with large threads (in areas difficult to access) need to be tightened. Frequently this work needs to be performed in hazardous environments subject to explosion risks, where tightening pressurized pipes with flanges requires great force.
For working in areas with an explosion hazard when heavy bolting connections with large threats need to be tightened with great force, alkitronic hydraulic wrenches and pumps are ideal.
The right combination
In explosion-prone areas only hydraulic wrenches or pneumatic torque multipliers can be used. In restricted spaces alkitronic's versatile hydraulic wrenches provide special advantages due to their short, flat design.
When working speed counts, the combination of pneumatic torque multipliers and hydraulic wrenches is excellent, since pneumatic torque multipliers offer high speed and continuous rotation.
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 safe – even in environments with explosion hazards.
Application example
In practice the FLANGE BOY has proven itself for easy, safe separation of pipe lines. Flange couplings are mechanically pushed apart. Where very great force is required, we recommend using several Flange Boys.
