The Problem with Valves

Over time moving parts within valves can deteriorate, lubrication dries up and corrosion can set in.

 

The Result?
Valves become difficult to operate and the potential for strain injuries to the operator significantly increases. Protecting workers against the possibility of strain injury is a major Health and Safety issue.

 

The Solution?
MODEC Range of Portable Valve Actuators and Drivers provide a simple, cost-effective way of greatly reducing the strain associated with operating ‘difficult’ valves or other equipment originally designed to be manually operated.

 

Designed to take the hard work out of operating manual valves, these significantly speed up operations while reducing the risk of strain injury to operators.

 

We can provide actuators for any of the following types of valves:

 

Ball Valves

Butterfly Valves

Gate Valves

Slide Valves

Underground Valves

 

Valvetec Services are an authorised distributor of MODEC Portable Actuators in Scotland  through our partnership with Valtrox Ltd

Specification
Specification Title Specification Description
Power Sources:
These actuators can be manufactured for a variety of power sources e.g. Electric (Battery-powered): 18V or 36V battery options; Pneumatic: Operates with compressed air (typically 3 to 6 bar) or Petrol-driven: Suitable for remote areas without power supply
Torque Output
Typically ranges from 40 Nm to 1,000 Nm, depending on the model. Some models have adjustable torque settings for precise control
Speed (RPM)
Speeds usually range between 20 and 150 RPM, depending on torque settings and can vary based on the type of actuator and valve resistance.
Weight
This equipment is available either as Lightweight models: Around 5–7 kg or Heavy-duty models: Can be 10–15 kg or more, depending on torque capacity.
Control Features
Some models include adjustable speed and torque control
Reversible operation for opening and closing valves
Ergonomic design with easy-grip handles
Safety Features
Overload protection to prevent excessive torque application
Automatic stop function in case of resistance beyond the set limit
Explosion-proof versions available for hazardous environments (ATEX-certified models)
Environmental Resistance
Some models are suitable for outdoor and industrial environments and some have IP-rated protection (e.g., IP65) for dust and water resistance.
Compatibility

Works with handwheel, lever, and gearbox-operated valves
Adaptors available for different valve sizes and types
