Features and Benefits
AutoShift Cutting Tool
- Improved Operator Safety – Remote operation eliminates operator exposure to high-pressure water, steam eruptions, H2S vapors and mechanical hazards.
- Greater System Automation – Automatic shifting coupled with computerized controls and instrumentation enables total process automation.
- Reduced Cycle Times – Automatic shifting within the drum saves 30 minutes or more per cycle.
- Shifting Flexibility – “Stuck” tools can be freed up quickly within the drum by automatically shifting between boring and cutting modes.
- Manual Shift Feature – If necessary, AutoShift can quickly and easily shift modes manually, as with traditional combination cutting tools.
- Retrofit Cartridge Assembly – Existing Flowserve (e.g., Worthington®, Pacific) and non-Flowserve decoking systems can upgrade to AutoShift technology.
