African Valve stands out as the premium Butterfly Valve Supplier in Nigeria. In industrial processes Butterfly valves are used to control the flow of liquid and material through pipes by means of a disc mounted on a rotating shaft. When the valve is closed the disc is positioned perpendicular to the flow direction and block the passage of the fluids and when the valve is open, the disc is rotated parallel to the flow direction, allowing fluid to flow freely through the valve.
Operation: Butterfly valves provide quick shut off operation. They are opened or closed by rotating the disc a quarter turn using a lever, gear operator, or actuator.
Design: These valves have a disc-shaped closure component's resemblance to butterfly wings is how it got its name. The disc is the main component of the butterfly valve. It is a flat or slightly curved plate that rotates 90 degrees within the valve body to control the flow.
Key features
Butterfly Valves provide tight shut off and can easily operate and need minimal maintenance.
These valves operate flow control and maintain specific flow rate in various industrial applications.
Butterfly valves are often used for on-off service; they provide a tight seal to isolate sections of pipelines or equipment from the rest of the system. This is particularly useful for maintenance, repair, or emergency shutdowns.
butterfly valves are excellent for pressure control. They experience minimal pressure drop during operation.
Butterfly valves are widely used in water treatment plants for controlling the flow of water, chemicals, and slurry in various processes, including filtration, sedimentation, and disinfection.
In chemical Industry these valve are used to control the flow of corrosive chemicals, acids, and solvent by providing a tight shut off in process equipment
Butterfly valves play an important role in power generation including fossil fuel, nuclear, and renewable energy plants. They are used in boiler feedwater systems, cooling water circuits, and steam turbines.
