The Hodge Safety Door

Safety at every turn

The typical Hodge safety and control system illustrates how we design safety elements into every phase of a project.

  • The motorized hydraulic pump unit supplies pressurized oil to the lock-unlock cylinders thought he manual interlock safety.
  • The manually operated interlocking safety device prevents pressurization of the vessel until the door is fully locked.
  • Conversely, the interlocking safety device prevents unlocking the door until the internal pressure of the vessel is relieved to 0 PSI. It also prevents hydraulic oil from going to the lock-unlock cylinders unless the pressure in the vessel is relieved.
  • The limit switch is interlocked with the pressurizing controls to prevent pressurization until the door is fully locked.
  • The pressure sensitive switch will not allow the motorized pump set to operate while there is any residual pressure in the vessel.
