Process Control / Valve Actuation: High-Force Electro-Hydraulic Valve Actuator, Designed for Precise Control and Safety in Biomass Processing

Challenge

A biomass processor needed a high-force electro-hydraulic valve actuator for valve control with a built-in safety override feature for a new processing machine they were building. They required the ability to accurately control force while being able to quickly react to an overload situation for safety purposes.
