Brand: Flowserve
Description:

The Scorpion FLS 600 Drill Stem Tensioner is an advanced tension management device engineered for use in hydraulic decoking systems within delayed coking units (DCUs). Designed to monitor and maintain consistent tension on the drill stem, it enhances operator safety, prevents tool damage, and improves overall system performance during coke cutting operations.

With real-time feedback and integration into decoking control systems, the FLS 600 provides automated load adjustments, compensating for dynamic conditions such as tool binding, torque surges, or sudden load drops. Its robust design handles high-load, high-cycle applications, withstanding extreme temperatures, pressure fluctuations, and harsh refinery environments.

The Scorpion FLS 600 is a key safety and performance component in fully automated or semi-automated hydraulic decoking systems, helping reduce downtime, extend tool life, and increase operational precision.

The Flowserve Scorpion FLS 600 hydraulic decoking drill stem tensioner improves safety and reduces disassembly and reassembly time compared to labor-intensive traditional methods.
