Actuators and Positioners
Smart, reliable actuator and positioner solutions for critical energy and industrial applications.
Smarter Control for Better Performance
Actuators and positioners are essential components in energy and industrial automation, enabling precise control and reliable operation across a wide range of applications. Actuators deliver the mechanical force required to move devices such as valves, while positioners ensure accurate alignment based on control signals—enhancing system responsiveness and efficiency.
These technologies support remote operation, reduce manual intervention and improve overall system reliability. Whether you’re managing complex process flows or optimising plant performance, actuator and positioner solutions are key to achieving safe, efficient and cost-effective operations.
Precision in Every Process
Whether managing high-pressure systems in power generation or ensuring hygienic flow control in food and dairy production, actuators and positioners deliver the accuracy and reliability modern operations demand. Their integration into automated systems helps reduce manual intervention, improve safety and optimise performance—making them indispensable across New Zealand’s energy and industrial sectors.
Industry Applications
Mining and Heavy Industry
Actuators and positioners are critical in mining and heavy industrial operations, where they automate the control of slurry, water and chemical flows in harsh environments. Their durability and precision help reduce downtime, improve safety and support efficient material handling and processing.
Power Generation
In both conventional and renewable power generation, precise valve control is essential for managing steam, gas and cooling systems. Actuators and positioners enable remote operation and real-time responsiveness, improving plant efficiency and supporting safe, continuous operation.
Water Utilities
Water and wastewater treatment facilities rely on automated valve systems to manage flow rates, pressure and chemical dosing. Actuators and positioners ensure consistent performance across treatment stages, helping utilities meet compliance standards while reducing manual intervention and maintenance costs.
Food and Beverage
Hygienic, reliable flow control is vital in food and beverage production. Actuators and positioners support automated processes such as batching, mixing and CIP (clean-in-place), ensuring product consistency and compliance with food safety standards.
Dairy Industry
In dairy processing, where temperature control and hygiene are paramount, actuators and positioners provide accurate, repeatable control for pasteurisation, separation and cleaning systems. Their precision helps maintain product quality and meet stringent regulatory requirements.
