Limitorque The valve operators specified for more than 80% of the nation's automated cargo fleet. The first U.S. automated cargo ship was equipped with Limitorque valve controls . . . and it started a trend. Today they're being used on?or are specified for?more than 80% of automated cargo vessels laid down since 1963, such as the typical classes shown below. And on tankers as well . . . some have more than 100 Limitorque oper-ators on their deck valves alone! What makes Limitorque first choice? Proven performance . . . and reliability unequalled for critical marine valves. Limitorque opera-tors are designed for the most ad-vanced automated remote-control systems. They open and close valves anywhere on the ship?smoothly, instantly?by push-button or pro-grammed sequence. Valve maintenance is minimized because the precision action of a Limitorque control protects valve components from undue wear and damage . . . even under overload conditions. Limitorque controls pro-tect the ship and personnel . . . close valves automatically in emer-gencies. Units may be readily operated by hand, if required . . . whether power is available or not. For reliable control of valves, hatches, ramps ? wherever con-trolled linear or radial movement is needed?investigate automated control by Limitorque.
