Sandwich-type butterfly valves, whether manually or automatically operated, can be used in most fluid-product applications in the food-processing, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Their design allows to easily install and remove the valve, since its sides are welded to the facility to avoid the need of moving the pipes.
Operating principle
The butterfly valve can be operated automatically through an actuator or manually with the handle. The handle blocks the valve in the "open" or "closed" position, although there are also other versions with intermediate positions. The actuator transforms the axial movement of the piston into a 90º rotary movement which it transmits to the butterfly.
Design and features
Compact and robust design. Available in sizes DN-25/1" to 150/6". Multi-position handle as a standard feature up to DN-100/4". Two-positions handle is standard for DN-125/150/6". Several models of easily interchangeable manual handle and pneumatic- or electrically-operated actuators. Approved according to Directive PED 97/23/EC. Low pressure drops. Exchangeable sides, with any connection type. Weld/weld connections (mm or inches). Marked seals to allow traceability.
