Sleeve Type Soft Sealing Plug Valve with Pneumatic Actuator

Product Description of Sleeve Type Soft Sealing Plug Valve with Pneumatic Actuator

The Sleeve Type Soft Sealing Plug Valve with Pneumatic Actuator is designed for reliable shut-off and automatic flow control in demanding industrial pipeline systems. Equipped with a pneumatic actuator, the valve provides fast, accurate, and remote operation, making it ideal for modern process automation.

Its sleeve-type soft sealing structure uses a high-performance PTFE sleeve to achieve excellent sealing performance while reducing operating torque and wear. As a result, the valve offers long service life, stable operation, and minimal maintenance requirements.

Moreover, the valve is suitable for handling liquids, gases, corrosive chemicals, and other industrial process media. It is widely used in the petroleum, chemical, pharmaceutical, fertilizer, power generation, and oil & gas industries.

The valve is available in pressure ratings from Class 150 to Class 900 and is suitable for operating temperatures ranging from -29°C to 180°C.

For additional safety, the valve includes a manual handwheel that allows emergency operation whenever the pneumatic air supply is unavailable. Furthermore, the actuator can be fitted with accessories such as positioners, solenoid valves, limit switches, air filter regulators, and position transmitters to satisfy different automation requirements.

Product Benefits

Reliable Double Sealing

The valve features sealing grooves with sealing rings on both the inlet and outlet sides. As pipeline pressure changes, the sealing force automatically adjusts to maintain reliable leak-tight performance. Consequently, the valve provides dependable sealing under varying operating conditions.

Low Operating Torque

The PTFE sleeve significantly reduces friction between the plug and the valve body. In addition, the PTFE diaphragm, O-ring, and gasket work together to minimize operating torque while maintaining excellent sealing performance. Therefore, valve operation becomes smoother and more energy-efficient.

Longer Service Life

Unlike conventional plug valves, the PTFE sleeve is securely retained inside the valve body to prevent displacement caused by pressure or temperature fluctuations. This design minimizes wear and extends the sealing life of the valve.

Self-Cleaning Performance

During every opening and closing cycle, the metal edge of the plug continuously wipes the sealing surface clean. As a result, deposits and sticky materials are removed automatically, allowing the valve to perform reliably even in dirty or viscous media.

Flexible Installation

The valve supports bi-directional flow. Therefore, installation is more flexible because there is no strict flow direction requirement.

Structural Features

The valve features a compact, heavy-duty design that is well suited for continuous industrial service.

Its PTFE sleeve completely surrounds the plug, providing dependable sealing while reducing friction and wear during operation. Furthermore, the valve body contains no internal cavity where process media can accumulate. This design minimizes contamination, simplifies cleaning, and reduces maintenance costs.

The valve is engineered for high-pressure service and frequent operating cycles. Depending on customer requirements, body materials, trim materials, flange standards, pressure ratings, and actuator configurations can all be customized.
