Flowserve CT2.0 Cutting Tool with AutoShift™ for Decoking Systems

Faster cutting cycles and improved productivity
Redesigned flow passages, a low-mixing elbow, and an integrated flow straightener optimize flow into the nozzle, reducing cutting time by up to 10% in customer operations while improving overall unit throughput.

Lower downtime and simplified maintenance
The updated AutoShift cartridge minimizes over-rotation issues for more consistent mode shifting. New bidirectional orifice plates help prevent nozzle clogging by reducing coke fines buildup. Maintenance requirements are reduced, oil changes are now needed only twice a year thanks to the Lifting Diversion Plate, which decreases wear and makes oil level and viscosity less critical.

Greater reliability and extended tool life
A lighter AutoShift cartridge provides smoother, more precise shifting with less internal wear, extending mean time between repairs to 3–5 years and lowering maintenance costs.

Consistent shifting under high pressure
The redesigned cartridge engages at initial pressurization, offering clear feedback and reducing missed or over-rotation events, ensuring dependable performance even at higher pressures.

Faster recovery after drum collapse
In the event of a coke drum collapse, the optimized geometry simplifies tool removal, reducing downtime and safety risks.
