Product: Butterfly Valve Operating Principle: The butterfly valve can be operated automatically through an actuator or manually with a handle. The handle blocks the valve in the "open" or "closed" position, although there are also other models with intermediate positions. The actuator transforms the axial movement of the piston into a 90º rotary movement which it transmits to the disc. Applications: Butterfly valves, whether manually or automatically operated, can be used in most liquid product applications in the food-processing, pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
