Alkitronic R-SG Ideal for bolting plate heat exchangers

Applications

These specialized tools are ideal for bolting connections on plate heat exchangers, commonly used in industries like food and beverage, paper, and chemicals. They significantly reduce the time needed for tightening and loosening plate packs, ensuring perfect retention and absolute tightness, which are crucial in these applications.

The tools offer reliable, low-wear operation thanks to their ability to continuously rotate when working with spindles or long threaded bolts. Depending on the specific requirements, there are options for electric or pneumatic driven torque multipliers, capable of delivering torque up to 4,800 Nm.

Advantages

The operation is load-free and assembly time is short. When using two or more torque multipliers diagonally, there’s a rapid simultaneous tightening of large plate packs. Models like alkitronic® RCL, CL2-SG, and the battery-driven torque multiplier EA feature a fast gear for easy turning, and a simple, quick switch to power gear.

Alkitronic Specials These tools offer a range of targeted types for convenient use in every tightening situation. Options include radial gearing (R) with high-performance worm drive and tangential gearing (SG) with highly efficient spur gear. The tools have a long lifespan, thanks to their extremely robust motor housing made from either cast aluminum or break-proof polymer.

Specifications

For pneumatic-driven models, optimal performance with the indicated torques requires an operating pressure of 2-7 bar and a volume flow of approximately 10-15 l/s. The torque accuracy is dependent on the stability of the supply system. Electric-driven models feature a universal AC input of 100 V – 253 V, frequency 45 Hz – 66 Hz, a maximum power of 2000 W, and come under protection category I. They have an EFCip with a protection class of IP 54 (EF optional), and the EA models include two lithium-ion battery packs (18 V, 5.2 Ah) with a battery charger.

Product Information – Remote Control with Alkitronic CLV-R or CLV-SG These models come with a convenient remote control and an individual pneumatic drive. They allow for the fast, simultaneous, and even tightening of large packs using several torque multipliers with either radial (R) or tangential (SG) gearing.

• Capable of operating up to four torque multipliers at the same time.
• Particularly effective for multiple bolting connections and serial assemblies in semi-automatic operations.
• Features low-level sound emission due to integrated sound reduction. For highly efficient bolting connections, preconfigured alkitronic® Remote Systems are available for use with one or up to four alkitronic®CLV torque multipliers.
