Why are butterfly valves used in Cement Industries?
Butterfly Valve for cement are used in all types of powder and granular material processing plants where interception of gravity-fed or pneumatically conveyed dry materials is required. They are fitted beneath hoppers, bins, silos, screw or other type conveyors, or to intercept pneumatic conveying ducts. Due to their special design and engineering materials used, they represent a particularly cost-effective yet most efficient solution.
Mechanism of Pneumatic Actuated Butterfly Valve
The pneumatic Butterfly valve works on a simple mechanism and is easy to use so it has low maintenance, these valves are fitted in mid of fluid flow. There is a disc connected to a center rod, which rotates the disc quarterly to pass through to open and close. This metal disc called Butterfly rotates a quarter turn to allow fluid to pass indefinitely. The slow opening valve will reduce the flow, and turning the disc to close the valve and flow. This valve is operated by pressurized air which is controlled by a pneumatic actuator fixed on it. . So there is no need for any personal to operate the valve. Pneumatic actuator operates the valve rapidly, efficiently and in a very safe manner.
Quality and Testing
We supply products of only high quality graded materials and who also follow API standard criteria: API 609 Certificate for Butterfly Valve.
Where to Use Pneumatic Actuated Butterfly Valves
Pneumatic Actuator Butterfly Valves are generally used for liquid and slurry materials. These are very popular in the valve industry because of their easy to use and simple mechanism. Pneumatic Butterfly Valves are very useful to control highly inflammable liquids. Liquids like petro-chemicals, Oil, and Gas. It is operated by Pneumatic actuator, which allows fast functionality and safe from fire and electric short circuits. So it is an electricity efficient operated valve with the lowest cost.
Applications
Butterfly valves are used in diverse industries and applications such as pharmaceutical, chemical and oil, food, water supply, wastewater treatment, fire protection, gas supply, fuel handling, and sanitary fittings. Butterfly valves for water are used as control valves in pipelines to shut off water flow. These valves are available in huge sizes and are suitable for handling slurries and liquids with relatively large amounts of solids at low pressures. Stainless steel butterfly valves are used in corrosive and marine environmental applications. Stainless steel material is highly durable and resistant to corrosion.
