This unit was installed in 1987 at the McGaurans Beach ocean outfall site known as SWOP (Saline Water Outfall Pipeline). The Limitorque SMC is fitted to a regulator valve and operated via a VSD (variable speed drive), I remember during commissioning the harmonics produced by lack of filtering by early VSD’s, fortunately VSD’s have progressed significantly since those days.

In order to build and ship Limitorque actuators from our quick response center in Australia, also means that we need to provide machined products to complete the quick response process. Frank Busse is screw cutting a Limitorque MX stem nut while the actuator is being built, the 2 come together to ensure quick response delivery is maintained.

Looks a bit of a mess we know, its the cross-over from receiving stock to build Limitorque actuators and at the same time making sure built actuators are going to be shipped out on time, its not a bad problem to have.

Acrodyne’s Chris Hoare visited Castlemaine a few weeks ago and thought the Flowserve Corporation Pump people may be interested in seeing some pictures of the Castlemaine works located in Victoria Australia. As can be seen from the plaques, the site dates back to 1875 with Flowserve having ownership for the last 17 years. Pump Industry magazine have done an article on the sites history https://lnkd.in/gHybJ6F
