Hanbay Develops New Spring Return Electric Actuator for Emergency Shutoff Valves

Virginia Beach, VA, March 16, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Hanbay Inc, the valve automation experts, has announced the release of a new spring return electric valve actuator that is compatible with any manufacturer’s ESV (emergency shutoff valve). This new design offers LP gas and anhydrous ammonia handlers the ability to remotely automate any ESV with a 24VDC or 110VAC fail-safe electric actuator. This CSA/UL rated explosion-proof actuator further advances Hanbay’s niche in providing compact electric valve automation to propane affiliated industries.

“Our ability to automate any emergency shutoff valve addresses the growing demand for propane handlers looking for more efficient flow control equipment,” says Mark Clifford, Sales Application Engineer at Hanbay Inc. “Hanbay’s development team has brought electric valve automation to an industry that in the past has largely relied on pneumatic, cable or nitrogen systems to do what our actuator can do automatically. These outdated systems are negatively affected by humidity, moisture or frozen environments. They also require continuous maintenance attention, whereas our actuators are maintenance free.”

Any ESV valve that controls liquid or vapor for LP gas or anhydrous ammonia lines whether in bulk plants, on a bobtail truck, transport or tank car can be custom fitted to a Hanbay actuator. The Hanbay actuator provides automatic shut-off of liquid or vapor flow in the event of an accidental pull-away, line break, or hose rupture. Electrically automating ESV’s reduce cost of operation, energy and maintenance while simultaneously improving safety and efficiency.

Hanbay Inc specializes in designing and manufacturing custom electric valve actuators that can be mounted on any valve. In 2016, Hanbay introduced the industry’s only explosion-proof fail safe electric actuator and mounting kit for 1¼” to 4” internal valves. Now, Hanbay has followed up by developing mounting kits for 1¼” to 3” ESV’s as well.
