Overview

Valve Interlocks & Portable Actuators — Sofis

Sofis (incorporating Smith Flow Control, Netherlocks Safety Systems, and Ellis) is the global leader in mechanical valve interlocks. JST supplies the full Sofis range in Thailand — including handwheel interlocks (GLS, GLM) for gate, globe, and gear-operated valves, lever interlocks (QLR, QLT) for ball and butterfly valves, and the EasiDrive portable actuator.

Mechanical interlocking enforces correct valve operation sequences — eliminating human error, protecting operators, and reducing the risk of incidents during isolation, depressurisation, and product changeover. Some JST and Sofis partner-company staff have worked with valve interlocks for over 30 years.

JST's track record across Chevron Offshore, Tapline, HMC Polymer, PTT Asahi, and South Pailin includes interlock supply, on-site installation, operator training, and ongoing maintenance support.
