Powell Fabrication & Manufacturing, Inc.

Gas Cylinder & Gas Container Shutoff Systems




Powell is the only manufacturer to offer emergency shutdown systems with pneumatic or electric actuators for use on either small containers (150 lb. – 1 ton) or large containers (such as 90 ton railcars). Powell has taken great care to design dependable systems that are convenient to use, powerful, versatile, and most importantly, reliable. We are proud to have developed valve closure systems superior to any other shutdown system available on the market.

Optional Uninterruptible Power Supply is available.

*The image above shows the E-Pro actuators mounted on chorine ton containers. The actuators may also be used on 150 lb gas cylinders.  The system can be used on gas cylinders and containers of numerous hazardous gases.

System Components

Every component of the E-Pro® Electric Valve Closure System is engineered to be more versatile, efficient, and reliable than alternative units on the market. The System includes the actuator, control panel and mounting bracket.

E-Pro Actuator

Reversible

A push button on the end of the actuator makes it easy to re-open any non-leaking valve.

Durable

The actuator is constructed of aircraft-quality aluminum and high-grade carbon and stainless steels for maximum service life. Its housing is sealed to prevent intrusion from wind and water in outdoor applications. While a two-step polyurethane coating provides corrosion protection.

The E-Pro® System’s unique mounting mechanism, coupled with its lightweight, compact design, make it especially suited for horizontal application on 1-ton containers.

El Panel de ControlEl panel de control E-Pro activa automáticamente el actuador para cerrar la válvula en el evento de una fuga de gas, alarma de fuego, evento sísmico, paradas de proceso u otras condiciones establecidas. Usted puede activar manualmente el sistema presionando el botón de emergencia en el panel. Los paneles de control están disponibles en modelos sencillos, dobles y cuádruples para activación de uno, dos o cuatro actuadores correspondientemente.

UL - CUL Approved

Powell Valve Closure System control panels (UniPro™, MaxPro™ RA & E-Pro®) are listed by Underwriters Laboratory to UL 508A for Enclosed Industrial Control Panels. Panels are listed by Underwriters Laboratory bearing the UL & CUL mark for use in the United States and Canada markets. In applications where a CSA listed control panel in Canada is required, please contact Powell engineering for further information.

Extensive engineering and field testing go into every system we produce. That’s Reliable Engineering. That’s Powell.

 

Some valve closure systems are simply built. Ours are engineered.
