Pneumatic Actuated 2 Piece Ball Valve Manufacturer in Africa

Product Introduction

The automatic process pipelines will need the valves to give quick shut-off capability, effective sealing and effective remote actuation. The Pneumatic Actuated 2 Piece Ball Valve integrates the two-piece ball valve with pneumatic actuator to give the valve quick quarter-turn actuation through the use of compressed air. The actuator ensures that the valve will not require manual actuation thus makes the valve appropriate for automatic processes. African Valve is a Leading Pneumatic Actuated 2 Piece Ball Valve Manufacturer in Africa, manufacturing and supplying Pneumatic Actuated 2 Piece Ball Valves in various material grades, pressure classes, end connections, seat materials, and actuator configurations for projects across Nigeria, Egypt, South Africa, Kenya, Ghana, and other African countries, along with international export destinations.

How Does a Pneumatic Actuated 2 Piece Ball Valve Improve Process Automation?

The valve does not use an electrical motor to perform its operations; rather, the pneumatic actuator utilizes compressed air that is turned into rotational energy to move the ball. Once the compressed air is supplied to the actuator, it turns the ball through 90 degrees in order to bring it parallel to the pipe line or turn it perpendicular to the piping system. This actuation method makes the valve fast, responsive and reliable, hence its application in automation lines and emergency systems.

Valve Construction

The valve consists of a 2 piece body, floating ball, blow-out proof stem, valve seats, ISO mounting pad, and pneumatic rack-and-pinion or scotch yoke actuator. Depending on operational requirements, the actuator may be supplied as double acting or spring return. Additional accessories such as solenoid valves, limit switches, position indicators, air filter regulators, and positioners can be incorporated to support automated control systems.
