Service: OEM&ODM

Gear box butterfly valves are particularly suitable for working conditions where the valve installation position is narrow, the operator cannot apply large torque, or the medium pressure is high, resulting in high butterfly plate resistance, making the operation more convenient and efficient.

Product Description

Valve Type: Wafer butterfly valve Structure: Concentric
Standard: EN593 Workmanship: Investment casting
Sealing direction: Bidirectional Sealing grade: Zero leakage
Temperature: -20°C < T < 120°C Operation: Gear box

Characteristics

Gear box operated butterfly valve, the valve is clamped between two pipeline flanges with double headed bolts.

The structure is compact, small in size, and light in weight. The transmission mechanism is a worm gear, usually installed at the top of the valve. The center of the valve stem, the center of the butterfly plate, and the center of the valve body are on the same axis, designed as a concentric structure.

Characteristics

Advantages

High Torque Efficiency: With only a small amount of force applied, the turbine can amplify the huge torque that drives the butterfly plate to rotate, making it easy to open/close butterfly valves with large diameters (such as DN300 or above) and high pressure differentials.
Safety & Stability: The worm gear has a reverse self-locking function to ensure the safety and stability of the system, especially suitable for unmanned pipeline systems.
Energy Saving: The streamlined design of the butterfly plate reduces fluid resistance loss, making it an energy-saving product.
Industrial Durability: The gear box are usually made of cast iron, ductile iron, or stainless steel materials, which can withstand industrial environments such as high temperature, humidity, and slight corrosion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the main advantage of a gear box operated butterfly valve?

The gear box (worm gear) significantly amplifies the manual torque, allowing operators to easily open and close large-diameter valves with minimal physical effort.

Q2: Can this wafer butterfly valve handle bidirectional flow?

Yes, the valve is designed for bidirectional sealing, providing zero leakage regardless of the flow direction.

Q3: What makes the concentric structure beneficial?

In a concentric design, the stem, plate, and body are all on the same axis. This simplifies the construction, reduces weight, and makes the valve more compact and cost-effective.

Q4: Is the gear box suitable for outdoor or corrosive environments?

Yes, the gear boxes are typically made from durable materials like ductile iron or stainless steel, designed to withstand high humidity and industrial conditions.

Q5: Does the valve offer any safety features?

The worm gear mechanism features a reverse self-locking function, which prevents the valve from changing position due to medium pressure, ensuring system stability.

Q6: Which industries commonly use this type of valve?

It is widely used in petroleum, chemical processing, water treatment, power plants, and municipal construction for controlling water, air, steam, and oil.
