Electric Ball Valves & Actuators

Electric Ball Valves & Actuators

Electric ball valves and actuators are integrated flow-control solutions that combine a ball valve mechanism with electric actuators, designed to precisely control fluid flow in industrial process control systems. These valves utilize a spherical closure element with a central bore that rotates within the valve body, actuated electrically to achieve accurate and responsive positioning for fluid regulation and isolation.

Electric actuation offers precise positioning, repeatable control, and seamless integration into automated systems, significantly enhancing process efficiency and operational accuracy. Additionally, electric actuators reduce the need for pneumatic or hydraulic infrastructure, thereby decreasing maintenance requirements, simplifying installations, and improving energy efficiency through precise and controlled operation.

Electric ball valves and actuators are extensively used across various industries, including chemical and petrochemical processing, oil and gas, pharmaceutical manufacturing, food and beverage production, power generation, HVAC systems, and water and wastewater treatment facilities. Their reliability and ease of automation make them ideal for diverse industrial applications demanding precision and consistency.

Applications include automated process fluid isolation, accurate fluid dosing and blending operations, precise control in batch processes, critical safety shutdowns, and remote-controlled management of pipelines and distribution systems. Due to their precise control and quick response capabilities, electric ball valves and actuators are highly valued in processes requiring careful regulation of flow, pressure, and temperature conditions.

Manufactured with robust and corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, and specialized alloys, electric ball valves and actuators are engineered for durability in harsh industrial environments. Advanced digital interfaces and communication capabilities, such as HART or Fieldbus integration, further enhance their functionality and adaptability in modern, automated process control systems.
