- Equalizer flange spreaders feature an integrated wedge spreading design that poduces a smooth, parallel wedge movement that creates a force perpendicular to the flanges faces being separated. This design eliminates flange damage and spreading wedge failure. (See il. 1 below)
Flange spreaders are replacing hammered wedges as the tool of choice for safety and increased productivity. Flange wedges are a known safety problem causing injury to workers and damaging equipment. Flange wedges and banana wedges can unexpectedly dislodge, creating an unsafe condition, near miss or industrial accident. Equalizer's unique interlocking first step deep secure hold improves safety, and improves productivity.
This drawing illustrates how forces are applied with the Equalizer spreading wedge. The downward force from the wedge is transmitted in a perpendicular motion to the flange faces.il. 1 |
This drawing illustrates how forces are applied with a standard wedge. The downward force from the wedge is transmitted in a angular motion to the flange faces. This generates a reverse force that trys to propell the wedge back out of the flange. This may present an unsafe working condition and will also cause damage to flange face.EXTREME CAUTION SHOUD BE EXERCISED WHEN USING THIS METHOD OF FLANGE SPREADING.il. 2 |
