The new Tolomatic ServoChoke® SVC electric choke valve actuator meets requirements for a more flexible and reliable high-speed actuator in performance drilling applications such as managed pressure drilling (MPD), set-point control or choke-and-kill. Combining an integrated servo motor, planetary roller screws, industrial-automation-grade components and an all-steel body, the ServoChoke SVC quickly and continuously modulates with extreme accuracy and precision in the harshest of environments.
ServoChoke is a globally certified electric choke valve actuator with five individual certifications for the classifications of ATEX, IECEx, and Class I Div. 1 all on a single assembly. This eliminates the need for both North American and European standard choke manifold designs. In addition to its global certifications, ServoChoke can operate in temperature ranges from -40°C to +60°C and is sealed to meet IP67 standards. Optional marine-grade paint treatment adds protection against even the harshest offshore environments.
