Equalizer International, a designer and developer of flange maintenance tools for the energy sector, will launch its newest range of tools at Offshore Europe 2015.
The NutSplitter range, designed specifically for pipe-line bolted flange joints, integrates its hydraulic cylinder into the cutting-head. The cutting-head can be used on a wide range of flange joints due to the design of the cutting head geometry. In addition, an integrated steel shroud encloses the cutting zone to protect against flying particles, while a high strength composite handle provides for vibration and shock isolation.
Options include Equalizer’s integral pump unit which is built into the back end of the tool making it applicable for subsea and working at height applications because it removes the need for hoses, couplings and separate hydraulic-pumps.
“At a time when the industry is looking at cost reduction while maintaining safety standards, the NutSplitter provides an answer for a particular maintenance issue that is efficient, cost-effective and safer than existing solutions,” said John Morgan, managing director, Equalizer International.
Equalizer International will be exhibiting the NutSplitter and the next generation of some of its existing tools on stand 4D41 at Offshore Europe.
