Torque Mulipliers for Food and Beverage

In the food and beverage sector, perfect hygiene and faultless machinery are essential. Very often the plate heat exchangers used in these sectors have to be maintained, serviced, repaired, and fastened together tightly. To ensure a trouble-free production process, reliable tools are crucial. 

alkitronic® has therefore designed torque multipliers especially for use in plate heat exchangers.

Torque Multipliers for your bolting application

Plate heat exchangers are used in a variety of fields, particularly those involved in heating or cooling fluids. Thus, saving time when loosening and tightening heavy bolt connections is essential.
alkitronic® electric or pneumatic torque multipliers are designed to save customers’ time during maintenance. They offer continuous rotation, tightening or loosening heavy bolt connections with large spindles or long threads. 
Electric and battery-driven torque multipliers EC, EB, EAF for high precision and speed and easy handling
Pneumatic torque multipliers for saving time thanks to continuous rotation
Electric and pneumatic torque multipliers with radial or tangential gearing for plate heat exchangers

Overview of our torque multipliers
