Product description
A Pneumatic Actuator Operated Ball Valve is a type of valve that controls fluid flow using a ball with a bore, rotated by a pneumatic actuator. Adding a limit switch allows for position feedback, indicating whether the valve is open or closed.
Key Components:
- Ball Valve:
- Typically made of Stainless Steel (SS), Carbon Steel (CS), or Brass.
- Available in 2-way (on/off) and 3-way (diverting/mixing) configurations.
- Seals made of PTFE, Teflon, or other materials based on application.
- Pneumatic Actuator:
- Types: Double-acting (air to open/close) or Spring-return (failsafe operation).
- Operates with compressed air (typically 4-8 bar).
- Fast and reliable automation with minimal maintenance.
- Limit Switch Box:
- Provides electrical feedback on valve position (Open/Closed).
- Contains mechanical or proximity switches (e.g., SPDT, DPDT).
- Often NAMUR standard for easy mounting.
- Compatible with PLC, SCADA, and DCS systems for automation.
Advantages:
✅ Fast & Efficient: Quick actuation compared to manual operation.
✅ Automation Ready: Integrates with control systems for remote monitoring.
✅ Reliable Feedback: Limit switch ensures accurate position status.
✅ Durable & Leakproof: Designed for high-pressure and high-temperature applications.
✅ Energy Efficient: Uses compressed air, reducing electrical energy needs.
Applications:
- Oil & Gas: Flow control in pipelines.
- Water Treatment: Automated control of water flow.
- Pharmaceutical & Food: Hygienic applications with SS body valves.
- Chemical Industry: Handles aggressive chemicals.
- HVAC & Fire Protection: Used in automated fire suppression systems.
