Pneumatic butterfly valves are widely used in various industrial processes for controlling the flow of liquids and gases. These valves are known for their simple design, reliability, and cost-effectiveness, making them a preferred choice in a range of applications, from water treatment plants to chemical processing facilities. Among the many companies that design and manufacture such valves, Helico Automation stands out for its innovation and commitment to delivering high-quality, automated valve solutions.

Introduction to Pneumatic Butterfly Valves

A pneumatic butterfly valve consists of a disc that rotates within the pipe to control the flow of a fluid. The valve operates by moving the disc into a closed position to block the flow or into an open position to allow it. This movement is controlled by pneumatic actuators, which are powered by compressed air. This makes pneumatic butterfly valves ideal for applications where rapid response, durability, and ease of control are essential. The actuator is connected to the valve via a shaft, which is typically a quarter-turn mechanism. When the actuator receives air pressure, it rotates the valve disc, allowing the flow to either be fully restricted, partially throttled, or fully open. This design is especially advantageous in large-scale industrial operations due to its efficiency in controlling large amounts of fluid with minimal energy consumption.
