New Rotork IQ Pro Actuators Offer Advanced Asset Management Capabilities

Rochester, NY — Rotork IQ Pro non-intrusive, electric valve actuators include a data logging feature that enables water and wastewater treatment plants to conveniently monitor valve performance, forecast when valve maintenance might be required and scheduled, and manage assets for maximum productivity.

They have the capability to capture current and historical operating data, including valve torque profiles, number of operations, valve and actuator positions, and vital performance and operational statistics.

Operators in the field can download data by pointing an intrinsically safe Rotork IQ Pro setting tool at the actuator. The information is downloaded wirelessly and stored in the setting tool in seconds. Then, they can upload the data to a laptop PC or desktop computer. Rotork provides software for asset analysis.

IQ Pro actuators are suitable for a wide variety of automated valve requirements. They are double-sealed to prevent moisture and dirt ingress, making them especially suited for the rugged, challenging conditions typically found throughout water and wastewater treatment facilities. Also, they are easily integrated into most PLC, SCADA, and DCS operating environments.
