Roses Are Red; Actuators Are Blue - The Kinetrol Blueline Actuator for Food Production Applications
Kinetrol's "Blueline" Series of pneumatic vane actuators for use in food and beverage production. Install Blueline Actuators in areas where harsh chemical wash-down is required. These are areas that are very tough on most pneumatic actuators because of the caustic or acidic chemicals used in the cleaning process damage the actuator.
Kinetrol's Blueline Series provides a very economical option for use with caustic and acidic wash-down procedures. The actuators have non-stick properties, resistance to salt-laden environments, and exceptional resistance to chipping and flaking. Additionally, if the coating does become dislodged, it is visible to the human eye or the photo optic detectors used in quality controls systems.

"Failure Is Not an Option" - Kinetrol Manual and Fire Fail-Safe Spring Units
If you want to operate a valve manually, but maintain the advantage of the fail-safe spring's certainty of position when unattended, check out the Kinetrol's manual and fire fail-safe spring handle. This uniquely designed manual operator offers some compelling benefits in automating valves and provides additional plant safety levels. Spring return (also known as "deadman") handles will help you meet individual plant safety requirements and OSHA requirements for valves that must return to the closed position after an operation. Unlike lever handle or gear operators that will leave the valve in the last state, the spring return deadman device ensures that the valve returns to its original starting position powered by the associated spring handle.
"Exhausting" High Cycle, Fast Open/Close Foundry Applcation
An iron foundry located in the Midwest USA has a valve application with extreme requirements. The atmosphere is scorching and dusty, and the valve and actuator combination has to cycle at a very high rate.
There two most considerable challenges are:
- Finding a valve actuator that can stand up to 100,000 actuator cycles per month (around 1.3 million cycles per year) and operate for more than a year.
- The actuators have to cycle open and closed in a fraction of a second.
Solution
- Due to their reputation for extreme durability, Kinetrol actuators are specified. They are known worldwide to perform flawlessly where cycle rates are high.
- High flow solenoid valves manage the high volume of fill and exhaust air to handle the rapid cycling.
As of the last check, the Kinetrol actuators are operating without problem for more than two years.

Kinetrol Steadyline Actuators
The Kinetrol Steadyline series are precision valve actuators with built-in damping devices that give smooth rotational resistance to the actuator / valve shaft. The Kinetrol Steadyline product smoothes the standard travel of the actuator, dampens any pipeline flow-induced oscillations of the valve disks and enables the user to set a minimum amount of travel time on power failure.
Kinetrol Steadyline is tailor-made and designed for precise, repeatable valve operation, offering superior stability and precision in opening / closing times.
Kinetrol Steadyline offers the next level of valve stability, precision, and control when there is a need to minimize or remove harmful shock or unnecessary motion, or when a valve application needs precise and repeatable closing or opening times.
