    A pneumatic butterfly valve is a type of valve used in various industrial processes to control the flow of liquids, gases, or powders through pipes and ducts. These valves are commonly found in applications where fast and reliable operation is necessary. They combine the benefits of pneumatic actuation and the simplicity of the butterfly valve design, making them suitable for a wide range of industries including chemical, water treatment, food processing, and HVAC systems.

    What is a Pneumatic Butterfly Valve?

Pneumatic butterfly valve

    A pneumatic butterfly valve is a quarter-turn valve that uses compressed air to actuate a disc that rotates around a central axis to regulate the flow of media through a pipe. The disc, which is typically made of metal or plastic, is mounted on a shaft and is positioned perpendicular to the flow of media when the valve is closed. When the valve is open, the disc aligns with the pipe, allowing the media to flow freely. The pneumatic actuator controls the movement of the disc, enabling fast and precise flow control.
