Teksal Safety’s custom valve Netherlocks solutions

valve interlock

Teksal Safety recently provided two custom valve Netherlocks solutions for our clients’ projects in Queensland, ensuring safety and continuity of operations.

The projects required a custom interlock with extension and valve drive for a high cycle valve.

Valve interlocks enforce and guarantee a pre-defined sequence of operation.

A predetermined logic ensures the correct valve is operated – this not only ensures the safe and continuous operation of your plant but eliminates human error.

How? When using valve interlocks, your operators have to follow a safe sequence of valve operations.

Easy installation and diverse applications

We can install the valve interlocks on existing or new valve applications without modification or hot works to the host equipment.
