FlexiDrive remote valve operator

A simple and reliable system designed to relocate manual valve operation to a safe location

The Sofis FlexiDrive remote valve operator is a straightforward mechanical solution that brings the operation of manual valves down to a safe and ergonomic position.

It allows reliable valve control from a distance, making it easy to operate valves located above, below, submerged, or in tight and confined spaces.

All from a secure and accessible area

Save on scaffolding costs

Scaffolding often involves lengthy permit processes and complex setup procedures.

Arranging scaffolding permits can be time-consuming, as it requires multiple approvals, safety inspections, and compliance documentation before work can begin.

The FlexiDrive eliminates these administrative delays, reducing downtime and keeping your operations safe, simple, and efficient.

With the FlexiDrive remote valve operator, you can operate valves, such as ball valves, from a safe location.

You can operate your hard-to-reach valves from the operating station on the ground floor.

You also avoid exposure to extreme heat, radiation, or fugitive emissions.

You operate valves in hazardous areas from a safe location, even through walls!

FlexiDrive provides a practical and reliable way to operate valves from a safe and accessible location.

Unlike fixed actuators, the FlexiDrive requires no wiring, power, or complex setup, making installation simple and cost-efficient.

Its flexible design adapts to any layout, improving safety and accessibility in areas where manual operation or traditional actuators are difficult to use.

FlexiDrive

FlexiDrive is a versatile product consisting of two stations, joined by a linear drive cable, which enables valves and other wheel operated devices in remote, hard-to-reach or hazardous locations to be operated with ease from a conveniently located handwheel.

FlexiDrive can be applied to any conventional wheel-operated valve/device.

It is suitable for underwater use and the most extreme climatic conditions.

The cable system can deliver torque output for most manual valve operations and transmits drive up to 30 metres from the operator station.

The flexible cable system facilitates up to 540° of bends in the cable run.
