3S Portable Actuators
The 3S Portable Actuator is a lightweight, powerful portable actuator which reduces risk of injury to operators while also reducing network transients and water hammer. Our calm water management closing profile has been designed to remove the risk of introducing transients into a water network when operating valves while allowing operators to keep the correct body position to reduce the injury risk associated with valve operations.
Think Smart and utilize the data gathering features of these actuators which log and record all valve operations.
Easily link wirelessly to windows or phone based apps (also provided by Smart Actuation) to record and store valve operation data
Record the time and date of each valve operation along with the exact number of turns achieved and the position the valve was left in.
Check the asset health of your valves over time with our easy to use traffic light system which provides a valve condition assessment based on operating torque recorded through the full travel of the valve operation.
Use this data to inform valve maintenance and replacement plans as well as recording maintenance activities for critical valves
Does your handheld actuator do this??
- Operates without the need for generators or mains power
- Long life rechargeable batteries designed to last a full working day
- Records time and date of every valve operation
- Records asset condition data for every valve operated with torque graph of full valve operation and benchmarks these to show condition over time
- Links with GIS or operating apps to assign data gathered to valves unique ID
- Provides easy-to-use traffic light system to identify heavy turning or broken valves, results can be fed directly into asset replacement and maintenance planning strategies
- Includes automatic valve maintenance program to increase the working life of network valves and reduce in field valve replacements
- Download maintenance and condition reports to submit for regulatory compliance
- Syncs wirelessly to app’s to provide real time valve operation updates to GIS or other operating systems.
- Reduces the risk of injury to operatives, allowing correct posture to be maintained throughout the valve operation
- Produces 1800Nm (1320 ft/lb) torque
- Allows easy torque adjustment in 10Nm increments
- Smart Torque adjustment throughout valve operation protects valves from being over torqued and damaged when being operated
- Allows for easy valve operation even with stiff or heavy turning valves
- Can be transported in a hard case the size of a carry on bag
- Available with a host of accessories for handwheel operation valves and various cap top sizes
