Unloaders and Actuators
We offer both diaphragm- and piston-style actuators for use with finger and plug unloader assemblies. Our actuators come with new valve upgrades for replacing leaking and worn out actuators, or for removing manual hand wheel style unloaders for automation. In situations where membrane failures occur or there is insufficient stroke, our diaphragm actuators can be used to replace existing membrane actuators.
