The 10 benefits for rig performance:
1. Isolated hydraulics with non-rotating seals reduce maintenance.
2. Integrated hydraulic plumbing minimizes leaks, and cleanup.
3. Labyrinth-sealed bearings extend service life.
4. Four-cylinder actuator increases torque and ensures reliability.
5. Precise travel control protects seals and boosts longevity.
6. Rig-floor indicators speed status checks and reduce risk.
7. Backward-compatible mounting simplifies installation.
8. Fail-last safety holds position, and compact form eases handling.
9. Simplified hydraulic circuits improve system reliability.
10. Multiple configurations ensure compatibility and seamless upgrades.

Recently I had the opportunity to visit Hi-Kalibre’s Edmonton shop as we had purchased custom downhole valves. During my time there, I had the opportunity to witness Pressure Testing, Quality Control and the packaging up of our equipment in preparation for shipping. It was clear that the Hi-Kalibre shop is like no other, being exceptionally clean and organized, with high priority of safety
Hi-Kalibre’s delivery of sound product solutions, integrity and respect is clearly paramount and to simply add a cherry to the top, they have an effective and solid team in which they should be proud of. Thank you to the Hi-Kalibre team.
Throughout our entire relationship with Hi-Kalibre, their manufacturing experience, exceptional engineering knowledge and the support of the overall performance of equipment has been relatively stress free.
