What Is SafeVision?
|
|
|

Hytork®'s CostSaver is a precision
package consisting of the Hytork® Actuator, pad mounted solenoid
valve, switchbox, SafeMount stool and conduit kit. The
CostSaver allows for solenoid wire termination inside the Hytork®
switchbox, thereby eliminating the need for additional electrical
junction boxes, electrical conduit, expensive pneumatic tubing and
fittings. This package also eliminates the need for a coupling
between the switchbox and the actuator. The CostSaver has been
designed to be a complete, rugged, efficient and simple to install
package requiring only one conduit connection supplied by the
customer.

CostSaver Way

|
|
Old Way

|
The CostSaver Way:
- The
HyVision switch
box/junction box
- The
CATS or BANJO
direct mount Solenoid valve range
- The COSTSAVER PVC coated flexible
steel (galvanised) conduit system
|
|
The Way things used to be:
- Switch box (no visual indication)
- Switch box mounting bracket and screws
- Switch box drive adapter
- Switch box cable
- Switch box cable glands
- Junction box
- Junction box bracket
- Junction box screws
- Junction box cable glands
- Solenoid valve
- Solenoid valve cable
- Solenoid valve cable glands
- Cable ties
- Solenoid valve bracket and screws
- Piping
- Pipe fittings
|
|
|
The
Hytork® CostSaver System Eliminates: |
|
|
-
Electrical Junction Boxes
-
Multiple Electrical Conduit
Runs
-
Expensive and
vulnerable pneumatic tubing and fittings
-
Fabricated brackets and
couplings to the actuator + solenoid + switch packages

Dramatic Reduction In Maintenance Costs |
|
|
The considerable reduction in parts and
the commonality of the HyVision Switch box and CATS
solenoid valves throughout the XL Series Actuator Range means that
potential maintenance costs are dramatically reduced.
When mounted to an
"XL" Series Actuator a
CostSaver System includes:
- The HyVision switch
box/junction box
- The CATS or Banjo
direct mount Solenoid valve range
- The CostSaver PVC coated
flexible steel (galvanised) conduit system

Hytork®'s Valve Automation Centers
will assemble and test "CostSaver Systems" to the Hytork®
"XL" series of actuators and then to any quarter turn valve to
provide you with complete valve automation confidence.
- Its a Switch Box:
- That can house up to four
switches. (micro switch, proximity switch and reed switches)
- Its a Visual Indicator with no
externally moving parts.
- Providing the largest visual
indication of any switch box on the market. After all why are
you purchasing an indicator? To see it easily and
safely!
- Its a mounting bracket to the
XL Series actuator.
- Eliminates the need for
additional brackets and couplings. Cost effective and designed
to fit.
- It's a Position Monitor on Multi-port valves.
- The visual indicator is set up so that when the actuator
operates a multi-port valve the visual indicator shows the flow
of the fluid passing through the valve.
- Its an Electrical Junction Box.
- With up to three separate conduit entries, and sufficient
terminals to easily wire four switches and two solenoids, the
HyVision switchbox eliminates the expense and need for a
separate junction box.

HyVision
The Heart Of The CostSaver System |
|
|
How
Do You Connect? |
|
|
Air Supply
- Single Air Connection
- Both the CATS and
Banjo solenoid valves mount directly on the actuator
eliminating all brackets and piping except the air supply.
Electrical Supply
- Switch and solenoid wiring made
easy
- The HyVision switch box
is also your Electrical Junction Box. The solenoid valve wires
pass through the furnished flexible conduit, which connects into
one M20 HyVision conduit entry, and terminates on the
internal terminal strips. Solenoid mains power and switch wiring
(up to 4 independent switches) pass through the second M20
conduit entry to quickly complete the necessary wiring. You save
both the cost of expensive additional conduit runs and the
labour to install them.
- Corrosion Protection with the
CostSaver
- The CostSaver/CATS
solenoid combination prevents dirty corrosive ambient air from
entering spring return actuators without pressurising the spring
chambers. (See CATS page)
- Small Actuator CostSaver
- For small Xl actuators up
to size XL185, in clean environments, a Banjo Mount
solenoid can be used with the CostSaver to further
minimise costs.
- Dual Coil CostSaver
- For dual coil or dual solenoid
applications, an optional third M20 conduit entry is
provided in the HyVision switch box. The second furnished
flexible conduit is connected to this entry for wire termination
inside.

Quality Assurance From The Valve Automation Center |
|
|
This Hytork® product is Quality Assured Registered
management systems to ISO 9001. This Quality Hytork® product is
one of many valve automation products that are stocked, ready for
installation as part of an engineered valve automation package at
HYTORK®'S VALVE AUTOMATION CENTER.
It is the professional center for valve
automation packages. Packages that are designed and assembled from a
host of stocked accessories.
These include:
- Aluminium, SG Iron and specific
application actuators
- Position monitoring switches and
sensors
- High visibility visual indication
switch enclosures
- Cost Savers
- Manual Override Gearboxes
- Positioners
- Hytork® solenoid valves
All these standard Valve Automation
products, assembled to a dimensioned CAD drawing, which can
accompany the package for your complete documentation requirements.
A proven
source for quality automation (ISO 9001) of all
your 1/4 turn valve and damper requirements.
A typical process plant will have many types and manufacturers of
1/4 turn valves, with different Actuators, different Switches,
different Solenoids, different
Positioners and Brackets that are neither engineered nor consistent
from one order to the next.
HYTORK'S VALVE AUTOMATION CENTER
provides engineered similarity throughout your
plant, lower spares, simplified
installation, maintenance, documentation and easily trained
technicians
with overall reduced
costs.
This service is also available from
approved Hytork®
Distributors - for details telephone Hytork®.
