Electric Butterfly Valves & Actuators
Electric butterfly valves and actuators are precision-engineered flow-control devices combining a butterfly valve with an electric actuator. The valve features a disc-shaped closure element within the pipeline, rotated by an electrically powered actuator. By utilizing electric energy, these valves offer precise positioning control, accurate fluid regulation, and dependable isolation, enabling automated, reliable, and repeatable process management.
A primary advantage of electric butterfly valves and actuators is their exceptional precision and control accuracy. Electric actuators can be precisely positioned at intermediate points between fully open and closed, facilitating accurate modulation and flow throttling. Their design ensures consistent, repeatable, and stable performance without fluctuations common to pneumatic systems, making them particularly valuable in processes requiring meticulous flow control.
Industries benefiting significantly from electric butterfly valves and actuators include chemical processing, oil and gas, water and wastewater treatment, power generation, pharmaceutical manufacturing, food and beverage facilities, and HVAC systems. Their automated control, reliability, and precise performance are essential in applications where process consistency and precision are paramount.
Typical applications include automated flow modulation and control in industrial pipelines, precise batching and blending operations in chemical processing, accurate temperature control in cooling and heating loops, and reliable isolation in automated safety or emergency shutdown systems. Their ability to interface seamlessly with sophisticated automation systems enhances operational safety and efficiency.
Constructed from durable, corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, cast iron, or specialized alloys, electric butterfly valves and actuators are designed to handle extreme temperatures, pressures, and aggressive media. Integrated control accessories, including digital positioners, limit switches, and communication modules, further facilitate integration into advanced industrial automation frameworks.
