Comprehensive Guide to Electric Butterfly Valves: Principles, Applications, and Advantages

Electric butterfly valves play a crucial role in industrial automation, offering reliable control and regulation for fluid systems.

What Is the Working Principle of Electric Butterfly Valves?

Electric butterfly valves use a circular butterfly plate as the opening and closing mechanism, controlled by a motor. By rotating the valve stem, the butterfly plate adjusts between 0° and 90° to regulate or completely block fluid flow, enabling precise control.

Application Fields of Electric Butterfly Valves

Electric butterfly valves are versatile and widely used in industries such as:

• Petroleum and Chemicals
• Hydropower and General Industry
• Coal Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals, Rubber, and Papermaking

They often serve as devices for media diversion, confluence, or flow switching in pipelines.

Electric butterfly valves are also suitable for pipelines in coal chemical, rubber, papermaking, pharmaceutical and other industries, and are often used as media diversion, confluence or flow switching devices.

Key Advantages of Electric Butterfly Valves

Easy Installation and Maintenance

Electric butterfly valves support remote operation through systems like PLC or DCS, simplifying flow regulation without manual intervention. Their simple design reduces maintenance costs.

Compact Design

These valves are perfect for tight spaces where traditional valves may not fit, offering flexible installation options.

Low Fluid Resistance

With a streamlined butterfly plate aligned to fluid flow, they ensure reduced resistance, improved flow efficiency, and high accuracy in regulation, while minimizing leakage risks.

Long Service Life

Built with durable materials and advanced technology, electric butterfly valves outperform manual valves in longevity and operational stability, thanks to precise motor-driven controls.

Why Choose Electric Butterfly Valves for Your System?

With benefits like compact size, low maintenance, enhanced durability, and seamless automation, electric butterfly valves are indispensable in modern industrial systems.
