Durable, Emissions-Free Control With Kimray's Electric Actuator
Meet Kimray's Electric Actuator
Zero-emission, automated control is quickly becoming a necessity for energy producers.
The new Kimray Electric Actuator is designed for producers who want to automate their control valves without overcomplicating their processes.
Paired with a Kimray valve body, the Electric Actuator can be used anywhere your control valves are, including in liquid dump, gas regulation, and artificial lift applications.
Benefits
Easy to Install - Simple push-button configuration via on-board OLED screen, automated calibration.
Precise Control - Actuation speed of up to 1/2” per second.
Zero Emissions - Operates via electric power with line voltage or solar panel.
Applications
Liquid Dump Valves
Plunger Lift
Gas Regulation
Valve Automation Made Simple With The Electric Pilot
The Kimray Electric Pilot is a stand-alone valve controller that can regulate pressure, flow, temperature, or level. The pilot features on-board adjustment and readout of PID with auto-tune, providing precise control and ease of start-up, all without the use of PLCs or other computing hardware.
Benefits
- PID for direct or indirect control
- PID auto-tune
- ON-OFF control for shutdown applications
- Low power
- Class I, Div. 1 explosion-proof rating
Applications
- Back Pressure, Pressure Reducing, Flow Control
- Temperature Control
- Level Control
- High-Limit Shutdown, Low-Limit Shutdown, High-Low Control, Gap-Control, Timer
Solutions with the Electric Pilot
Find out how other operators have utilized the Electric Pilot for their applications.
Electric Gap Control for Intermittent Wells
Intermittent wells are common in the Poza Rica region of Mexico. Pneumatic gap control systems need daily onsite supervision. Kimray’s Electric Pilot gave the producer the ability to monitor and control remotely.
Vapor Recovery Unit Using the Electric Pilot
A producer in the Colorado DJ Basin was using a pneumatic controller for an inlet suction control valve on a vapor recovery unit. Because of the increasing regulations of emissions, the producer agreed to trial Kimray’s Electric Pilot for their application.
Kimray products provide better control of processes, have kept up with ongoing environmental changes, and are just a much better product for our needs.

Gain Maximum Control with the Tritex II Electric Actuator
The combination of the Tritex II Electric Actuator and a Kimray High Pressure Control Valve Bottom Works eliminates emissions, provides communications that tie directly into the SCADA system, and operates on low power consumption.
The Tritex II uses a roller screw attached to a motor to convert the rotary motion of the motor directly into a linear force. The controls and positioner in the actuator provide closed-loop feedback. This eliminates the need for limit switches, torque switches, or any mechanical means of feedback.
The electronics provide a 4-20 mA input and output, as well as digital capability. The result is speed, precision, and a long-lasting actuator with little to no maintenance.
Benefits
- Available for all Kimray High Pressure Control Valves from 1” - 4”
- Servo motor effortlessly moves the actuator in any direction for 100% of the duty cycle
- Direct Feedback and Controls provide perfect positioning at all speeds and forces
- 12-48 VDC solar bus capabilities
- Fail safe positioning if low bus voltage limit is reached or loss of signal is detected
- Analog or digital communications (4-20 mA or MODBUS over RS485)
- Class I Div 2
Applications
- Flow control valve
- Pressure control upstream/downstream/differential
- Choke valve
- Compressor controls
- Gas lift valve
- Dump valve
