Spirax Sarco, a global leader in steam system engineering, is excited to unveil the SP7 and SP8 Smart Positioners. These cutting-edge devices are designed to bring unmatched energy efficiency and performance to industries like food, beverage, healthcare, and more.
Why Choose SP7 and SP8?
- Maximum Energy Efficiency:
These positioners consume just 0.015 SCFM of air at steady-state, no matter the air pressure. That’s up to 50 times more efficient than traditional electro-pneumatic positioners! This innovation can save over $1,000 per year per positioner in compressed air costs—making a significant impact on operational budgets. - Sustainability at the Core:
Compressed air is one of the costliest utilities in any production facility. By drastically reducing unnecessary air waste, the SP7 and SP8 positioners not only cut costs but also support sustainability goals, reducing energy consumption and waste. - Smart Design for Precision:
Mounted on control valves, these smart positioners ensure accurate and reliable valve operation. They counteract valve drift and provide long-term precision, improving system performance over time.
Built for Tough Conditions
The SP7 and SP8 are made with die-cast aluminum and are built to endure the toughest environments, including those with high vibrations (up to 10g/80 Hz). Their robust design ensures reliability in even the harshest industrial settings.
Advanced Features for Modern Needs
- SP7 Smart Positioner:
- Preventative maintenance alerts.
- Indicators for quick diagnostics.
- SP8 Smart Positioner:
- Advanced valve diagnostics.
- Data tracking for long-term performance analysis.
Both models are compatible with NAMUR actuators and come with a 3-year manufacturer’s warranty, ensuring peace of mind and long-lasting performance.
What Does This Mean for Your Business?
Chris Rossi, Product Manager at Spirax Sarco, emphasizes the significance of these smart positioners:
“With sustainability and energy efficiency at the forefront, the SP7 and SP8 Smart Positioners redefine what’s possible in valve control. They’re not just efficient—they’re smart tools that make operations smoother, reduce costs, and support your sustainability efforts.”
From reducing utility expenses to simplifying valve maintenance, the SP7 and SP8 bring game-changing innovation to industrial systems.
