The V-Tork Actuated Lugged Aluminium Bronze Butterfly Valve is a high-performance industrial valve designed for precise control and reliable operation in various fluid handling systems. Engineered with a robust aluminium bronze body and disc, this valve is ideal for applications requiring resistance to corrosion, wear, and harsh operating conditions. The valve is equipped with an actuator, enabling automated control and integration into modern process systems, enhancing operational efficiency and safety.

Key Features:

  1. Aluminium Bronze Construction:

    • The valve body and disc are constructed from high-grade aluminium bronze, a material known for its excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in marine and chemical environments. This ensures long-lasting durability even in the presence of seawater, brine, and various aggressive chemicals.
  2. Lugged Design:

    • The valve features a lugged design, which allows it to be installed between flanges without the need for nuts and bolts on one side, enabling easier maintenance and isolation of the pipeline. The lugged design also provides a more secure and stable installation, particularly in high-pressure applications.
  3. Actuation Options:

    • The V-Tork Butterfly Valve comes with a variety of actuator options, including pneumatic, electric, and hydraulic actuators. These actuators allow for remote and automated control of the valve, making it suitable for integration into complex automated systems. The actuation system is designed for quick and responsive operation, enabling precise control over fluid flow.
  4. Tight Shut-Off Capability:

    • The valve is designed to provide a bubble-tight shut-off, which is essential for preventing leakage and maintaining system integrity. This feature is particularly important in applications where even a small leak could lead to significant issues, such as in chemical processing or water treatment facilities.
  5. Wide Temperature and Pressure Range:

    • The V-Tork Actuated Lugged Aluminium Bronze Butterfly Valve is capable of operating across a wide temperature range, making it suitable for both high-temperature and low-temperature applications. It is also designed to handle a variety of pressure ratings, depending on the specific application requirements.
  6. Versatile Applications:

    • This valve is suitable for use in a wide range of industries, including marine, chemical processing, water and wastewater treatment, oil and gas, and power generation. Its versatility makes it a valuable component in both general-purpose and specialised fluid handling systems.
  7. Low Torque Operation:

    • The valve's design ensures low operating torque, which reduces the power requirements for the actuator and extends the lifespan of the actuation system. This feature also facilitates manual operation if needed, providing flexibility in different operational scenarios.
  8. Resilient Seat Design:

    • The valve is equipped with a resilient seat, which enhances sealing performance and ensures reliable operation over the long term. The seat material is selected based on the specific application, offering resistance to wear, temperature extremes, and chemical attack.
  9. Compact and Lightweight:

    • The compact and lightweight design of the V-Tork Butterfly Valve makes it easy to install and reduces the overall footprint of the valve in the piping system. This is particularly beneficial in applications where space is limited or where weight is a critical factor, such as in offshore or marine environments.
  10. Compliance with Industry Standards:

    • The valve is manufactured to meet or exceed relevant industry standards, including API, ANSI, and ISO certifications. This ensures that the valve meets strict quality and safety requirements, providing peace of mind to operators and engineers alike.

Applications:

  • Marine and Offshore: Ideal for seawater handling and other marine applications due to its corrosion-resistant aluminium bronze construction.
  • Chemical Processing: Suitable for controlling the flow of aggressive chemicals, thanks to its robust materials and tight shut-off capability.
  • Water and Wastewater Treatment: Effective in handling various fluids in treatment plants, ensuring reliable operation in harsh environments.
  • Oil and Gas: Used in pipelines and processing facilities for controlling hydrocarbons and other fluids.
  • Power Generation: Suitable for use in cooling systems, fuel handling, and other critical applications in power plants.

This actuated valve is designed for long service life with minimal maintenance. Regular inspection and occasional servicing of the actuator and seals are recommended to ensure continued optimal performance. The resilient seat design helps to reduce wear, further extending the lifespan of the valve.

The V-Tork Actuated Lugged Aluminium Bronze Butterfly Valve offers a combination of durability, reliability, and versatility, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of industrial applications. Its advanced features, such as automated actuation, corrosion resistance, and tight shut-off capability, provide significant advantages in terms of operational efficiency and safety. Whether used in marine environments, chemical processing plants, or other demanding settings, this valve delivers consistent performance and long-lasting value.
