J&P Group have entered into a 3-year Framework Services Agreement with Jena Rotary Technology (Jena Tec) – part of the Avingtrans plc Group.
Under the terms of the agreement, Jena Tec have granted exclusive rights to J&P Group to act as Jena Tec’s official installation and commissioning partner on future high force linear actuator installation projects.
The agreement has been formulated following J&P Group’s involvement in the successful replacement of an ageing hydraulic actuator system with Jena Tec’s high force HD series actuators at one of Europe’s leading energy provider’s power station plants.
The HD Series provides up to 180kN thrust and is capable of closing a gate valve requiring 450mm stroke in under 3 seconds. The demanding application is a major step forward in the valve actuator market to eliminate problems of fire, leaks and environmental disposal costs.
The complete system provided by Jena Tec included control panel and software and, together with installation support from J&P Group, implementation was successfully achieved within an extremely challenging scheduled outage period. A further 3 hydraulic actuators at the same power station are now planned for replacement with Jen Tec’s HD series.
