Reliable Valve Remote Control for Marine Systems
How It Works
Hydraulic Valve Remote Control
Our hydraulic valve remote control allows precise valve operations with flexible installation, ensuring efficiency and reliability. The system offers quick control with minimal manual effort, enabling fast actuation and reducing downtime. It supports various actuators, both quarter-turn and linear, and its compact, robust design fits most marine valves, enhancing operational efficiency.
Electro-Hydraulic Valve Remote Control
Ideal for limited spaces requiring electrical control, whether hardwired or bus-controlled, this system optimizes energy use, ensures rapid valve response, and minimizes maintenance, enhancing operational efficiency. The LPU mounts on actuators or bulkheads in tough-to-reach areas and features a patented variable hydraulic pump that operates at low speeds, while ensuring high operational performance.
Pneumatic Valve Remote Control
Designed to withstand high salinity, the system is ideal for limited spaces and corrosive environments. It provides an energy-efficient way to control valves without complex electronics or hydraulics, reducing energy consumption by working at lower pressures. This ensures efficient operations and minimal downtime. Our actuator features rugged cast aluminium bodies and advanced powder-coated finishes for superior corrosion protection.
Electric Valve Remote Control
Meeting cost-effective and stringent requirements, this compact, lightweight, reliable, and robust system, withstands severe marine environments and complies with US Navy standards.
Our electric VRC is available in various configurations, eliminating the need to replace the entire system and simplifies maintenance. This enhances operational readiness, reduces risk, and streamlines onboard systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Efficient valve management is key to safe and efficient operations. Valve Remote Control (VRC) systems help streamline control, reduce manual workload, and ensure quick response times across critical onboard systems. In this FAQ, we answer common questions about our VRC systems to support your operational efficiency.
Selecting a hydraulic Valve Remote Control (VRC) system depends on several factors, like type and size of vessel, application requirements, operating environment.
For High torque/ thrust valves, fast operating times, harsh, submerged explosion proof environments where durability and reliability are critical combined with long life time, then Hydraulic Operated Valve Remote Control systems are ideal.
A helical spline actuator features a mechanism that uses a piston and a helical spline to convert linear motion into rotational motion. The advantages of this design include:
High Torque Output: Provides exceptional torque while maintaining a compact size and weight.
Seamless and Precise Operation: Ensures reliable and accurate performance.
Durability and Reliability: Engineered to endure heavy-duty conditions, making it suitable for demanding applications.
These attributes make helical spline actuators an optimal choice for applications requiring both high performance and precision.
