Parker Adjustable Velocity Fuse: 

Increased Safety for Plant Employees

The Need:
Assembly plants often use hundreds of air drop lines for pneumatic tooling on its assembly equipment. Drop line hoses are often 15 feet or longer in length with a shut off valve at the top. If a hose ruptures there is instantly 15 feet of whipping hose causing potential danger to unaware employees or employees trying to close the shut off valve at the top of the hose.

The Solution:                   
Parker Adjustable Velocity Fuses (AVF) can be installed between each shut off valve and drop down line. In the event a hose is ruptured,  the AVF valve will shut off the flow of air, eliminating the danger for employees.

Customer Savings:           

• Adjustable Velocity Fuses allow for each tool to have different flow shut off settings
• Increase plant safety for employees and save money on potential medical expense
• Minimize inventory because Adjustable Velocity Fuses can be adjusted to work for a wide range of needs
• Minimize installation fees-Because the amount of air consumption is not always known ahead of time, multiple fixed velocity fuses must often be tried. Adjustable fuses allow for faster installation, eliminating labor hours.
