V & S Absolut Spirits plant in Sweden

V & S Absolut Spirits produces the Swedish Vodka Absolut which is exported world wide. The production of the year 2006 was 88 million litres. In the plant actuators from Remote Control are being used. The picture shows RC240-DA with Switch Box RCE4L mounted on DN65 valves from MecaFrance for on-off application. The valve units continually regulate the process flow for the production of the Swedish Vodka but some valves are used for by-pass and water for washing up.

RC240-DA mounted on MecaFrance ball valves DN 65 in the evaporation segment where the “drank”, which is a bi-product, is dehydrated to a dry substance of 5-30%. One of the advantages with Remote Control’s compact Scotch Yoke actuators is that they occupy so little space when space is limited.

The sugar plant Danisco Sugar in Sweden is one of the largest and most up-to-date sugar plants in Europe. In the production approx. 17.500 tons of sugar beets are processed daily.

RC280-SR mounted on SOMAS metal-seated butterfly valves MTV400. The RC-actuators are equipped with Remote Control “Safety Lock” for safe blocking and locking of the valves during maintenance. Limit indication is delivered by Inductive Limit Switches RC IND. The valves are mounted in the evaporation segment and are used during the shut-down of centrifugal pumps.

Remote Control Spring Return actuator RC88-SR with ”Safety Lock”, mounted on SOMAS VSS 600 metal-seated butterfly valves. The valves are located in the line where the beet juice is pumped through a heat exchanger.

RC Safety Lock facilitates safe locking of the valve in the desired end position, open or closed. The locking is done with a device, where various service engineers can attach their own padlock and lock the valve. As many as six different padlocks are possible i.e. six different service engineers can each one independently lock the valve and perform service at different sites throughout the plant.
