AutoSPREADER Takes on Gasket Replacement Without Breaking a Sweat

Posted by:

AutoSPREADER Flange Spreaders

Separate the flanges up to 3 inches in one easy pass with either the manual or hydraulic models.

Flange spreaders are nothing new when it comes to gasket replacement, but how many flange spreaders provide 10,000 lb of force per spreader and can open a full three inches in a single pass? Only one… AutoSPREADER Flange Spreaders from FASTORQ.

AutoSPREADER Flange Spreaders

Remarkably fast and portable flange separation, AutoSPREADER requires only a 3/32” insertion gap to get started.

AutoSPREADERs are not just another standard market flange spreader, but provide remarkably fast and portable flange separation with as little as a 3/32” insertion gap. They fit all flanges, are lightweight and can go anywhere they are needed.

To use, just insert the AutoSPREADER’s serrated jaws between the flanges and, either with a hydraulic pump or by turning the ratchet handle  – depending on the model, just separate the flanges up to 3 inches in one easy pass. The serrated jaws add and extra level of safety to the flange spreaders to prevent them from slipping or shifting while raising a load.

By using two AutoSPREADERs, parallel separation is possible. Perfect for gasket maintenance, separating manways, bearing removal, impeller removal and leveling machinery, FASTORQ’s flange spreaders can be used any place a prying tool goes but with better results.

Weighing in at 12 lb hydraulic and 13.5 lb manual, FASTORQ flange spreaders lift, level, lower and align with little effort and become one of those essential tools everyone should have in their shop.

Each AutoSPREADER comes with a safety block that provides 1, 2 or 3-inch flange separation and an easy grip handle.

Backed by an impressive 3-Year Total Assurance Guarantee, the AutoSPREADER is part of FASTORQ’s FastSHIP program, which means orders placed for AutoSPREADERs before 2 p.m. (CST) ship the same day.
