It’s a carbon steel butterfly valve fitted with a Valpes electric actuator, providing automated on/off or modulating flow control for industrial pipeline systems.

Carbon steel offers excellent strength, durability, and resistance to mechanical stress, making it ideal for industrial environments where higher pressures and rugged operating conditions are common.

Valpes actuators are built for long-term performance with robust gearing, high-quality motors, clear visual position indication, and advanced control options, providing dependable automation in harsh conditions.

Yes. With the appropriate control module, Valpes actuators support precise modulating control, allowing accurate adjustment of flow position rather than simple open/close operation.

Carbon steel is best suited for oils, gases, steam, and general industrial fluids. For highly corrosive chemicals, a lined or stainless steel body may be more appropriate.

Typical applications include power generation, HVAC systems, water treatment, manufacturing, oil and gas, chemical processing, and general industrial flow control.

Maintenance is minimal. Routine checks include verifying actuator operation, inspecting seals, and ensuring all electrical connections remain secure.

Yes. Butterfly valves can usually be installed horizontally or vertically, though best practice is to follow manufacturer guidance for optimal disc movement and actuator longevity.

Valpes offers fail-safe options such as battery backup modules that move the valve to a predetermined safe position (open or closed) if power is lost.

Yes. Replacement seals, discs, mounting hardware, and Valpes actuator components are readily available to minimise downtime and extend service life.

Absolutely. Valpes actuators support a variety of control signals and communication protocols, enabling integration with PLC, SCADA, and building management systems.

Yes. Valpes actuators come with a clear visual indicator, allowing operators to quickly confirm whether the valve is open, closed, or in an intermediate position.
