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 applications
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.
Hydraulic torque wrenches in restricted spaces thanks to their flat design
Pneumatic torque multipliers in explosion-prone areas
The right combination – Combination of pneumatic torque multipliers and hydraulic torque wrenches for high working speed
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.
Advantages at a glance
- Hydraulic wrenches: flat design for safe tightening in restricted spaces; simple usage and low weight; high efficiency with little maintenance and low costs
- Pneumatic multipliers: ATEX certification for high work safety and robust motor housing of cast aluminium
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.
