Torque-Rite allows you to control compression and expansion while maintaining constant inch/pounds force insuring a Perfect Surface I.D. when used with a
Perfect Surface Hygienic Seal - Torque-Rite eliminates the problems associated with over - or under-tightening a seal which can lead to an unsanitary system.
Compression control is easy!
When tightened, the Torque-Rite’s self limiting internal mechanism will make an audible “click” signaling the user they have reached proper inch/pounds force. If further tightening is attempted, there will be more “clicks” but no additional application of force on the hygienic seal (if emergency conditions arise, the Torque-Rite has a built-in manual override feature).
Problems with over-tightening or under-tightening a hygienic seal:
Over-tightening can tear or damage a seal and can also cause a damming effect inside the pipeline. A torn or extruded seal can hold soil and bacteria. Under-tightening leaves an undesirable concave area at the seal allowing soil and bacteria to become entrapped. Both conditions should be avoided in a sanitary system.
Maintaining a “Perfect Surface” Sanitary System.
By maintaining a constant force on a Perfect Surface Hygienic Seal with the Torque-Rite, seal I.D. is maintained lowering bacteria count and enhancing product integrity.
A Perfect Surface sanitary system is assured.
