Release time:2025-07-17 14:58:42

    A pneumatic butterfly valve is a type of valve widely used in various industries for regulating and controlling the flow of fluids or gases. The design of this valve features a disc that rotates to either allow or restrict flow through a pipe or duct. Pneumatic butterfly valves are particularly favored for their compact size, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use in automation systems. These valves are often found in sectors such as chemical processing, water treatment, power generation, and food and beverage industries.

    Basic Design and Working Principle

Pneumatic butterfly valve

    A pneumatic butterfly valve consists of a few essential components: a valve body, a disc (or butterfly), an actuator, and a control system. The valve body is typically cylindrical and houses the disc. The disc is connected to a shaft that passes through the center of the valve body. The shaft is controlled by the pneumatic actuator, which moves the disc to open or close the valve.
