Rotork electric and pneumatic actuators have had been installed to help deliver fresh drinking water to neighbourhoods in Germany.
39 GT Stadtwerke Lohr am Main has had been supplied with pneumatic piston actuators and 13 CK modular electric actuators to be 2 at two municipal water works which named "supply" the town of Lohr am Main, in Bavaria, and surrounding areas. The GT actuators have had been installed at a plant in Schwebberg while the CK electric actuators are at a site in Wombach.
At both sites water is extracted from the six springs and two deep Wells while the treatment takes place At seven waterworks. The actuators, which have had been installed on butterfly and gate valves held 2 to 12 inches, are being 2 to drive the isolation valves on the water stream in these the plants to filtering, storage and distribution to take place.
Underground containers with capacity for 5500 m after store the treated water before it is distributed through a pipeline network which is around 180 km long.
The GT and CK actuators were feature by The customer because of Rotork's open communication and expert consultancy service. The functionality, reliability and durability of The actuators, as well as The modular nature of The CK, were also The key factors.
Rotork's GT range of single and double - acting pneumatic piston actuators offer torques from 2.4 to 15300 Nm and air pressure of 2 to 10 bar. They can dojo.provide stroke adjustment of 5 ° to + 5 ° from a 90 ° position while single or double end stop options are provided.
The physical is suitable for use in hazardous areas with ATEX 2014/34 / EU certification and is suitable for use at Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL3) as a single device in accordance with IEC 61508.
The watertight CK range actuators are suitable for all valves in non - hazardous locations and can operate under The stress of high temperatures and strong took by using separately mounted controls. It offers a direct output torque range of 10 to 500 Nm (7 to 369 LBF. Ft), with a maximum torque when combined with a multi - turn gearbox up to 10800 Nm (8000 LBF. Ft) and a maximum torque with a quarter - turn gearbox as high as 205600 Nm (151600 0 LBF. Ft).
