Actuated Ball Valves in India

Introduction:

Beena Engineering Works are leading manufacturer, supplier of Actuated Ball Valves in India.Usually, water, air, oil, and other compatible media are controlled on/off or modulatorily with actuator ball valves. Actuators provide automated and remote control to users. Employees will no longer need to communicate directly with the valves thanks to this automation. Actuated ball valves are a type of valve used to control the flow of liquids or gases in a pipeline.

These valves consist of a ball with a hole or port through its center that can be rotated 90 degrees to either allow or block the flow of the fluid. When the ball’s hole is aligned with the pipeline, the valve is open, allowing the fluid to pass through. When the ball is rotated 90 degrees, the hole is perpendicular to the pipeline, closing off the flow.

Actuated ball valves are equipped with an actuator, which is a mechanical, pneumatic, or electric device used to automate the opening and closing of the valve. These actuators provide the necessary force to turn the ball within the valve, controlling the flow of the fluid remotely, without manual intervention. The choice of actuator depends on the application, control requirements, and the operational environment.

Types of actuators used in actuated ball valves include:

  • Electric Actuators: These use an electric motor to open or close the valve. They are precise, easily controlled, and suitable for applications requiring frequent adjustments or precise positioning.
  • Pneumatic Actuators: Utilize compressed air to operate the valve. Pneumatic actuators are often chosen for their rapid response and reliability in industrial settings where compressed air systems are prevalent.
  • Hydraulic Actuators: These actuators use hydraulic pressure to move the valve. They are frequently employed in heavy-duty applications and are renowned for their strong force capabilities.

Actuated ball valves find applications in various industries such as oil and gas, water treatment, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and more. Their advantages include fast response times, tight shut-off capabilities, and the ability to handle a wide range of pressures and temperatures.

When selecting an actuated ball valve, factors such as the type of fluid, pressure, temperature, flow rate, size of the pipeline, and required automation capabilities should be considered to ensure the valve’s compatibility and optimal performance in the specific application. Regular maintenance and proper installation are crucial for ensuring the longevity and efficiency of actuated ball valves.
