Long Introduction to Gear Operated Butterfly Valve

A Gear Operated Butterfly Valve is a quarter-turn rotational valve that uses a gearbox mechanism to control the movement of the disc inside the valve body. Unlike manual lever-operated valves, the gear operator ensures smooth, controlled, and low-effort operation even in large diameter valves and high-pressure applications. The gear mechanism provides mechanical advantage, enabling precise flow regulation and enhanced safety.

In industrial fluid control systems, butterfly valves are widely preferred due to their compact design, lightweight construction, and cost efficiency. The gear-operated model is particularly suitable for medium to large size pipelines where manual torque becomes excessive. It is commonly used in systems requiring dependable shut-off and throttling performance.

Our product range includes various types such as Wafer Type Butterfly Valve, Lug Type Butterfly Valve, Double Flanged Butterfly Valve, Resilient Seated Butterfly Valve, and Metal Seated Butterfly Valve. Each variant is designed to meet specific operational requirements such as pressure rating, temperature range, and media compatibility.

The gear-operated butterfly valve functions by rotating a disc positioned centrally in the pipeline. When the disc is parallel to the flow, fluid passes freely. When rotated perpendicular, the valve provides tight shut-off. The gearbox ensures gradual disc movement, minimizing water hammer and protecting pipeline integrity.

Why Choose Gear Operated Butterfly Valve?

1. Smooth Operation for Large Sizes

The gearbox reduces operating torque, making it easier to operate larger diameter valves (DN100 and above) without excessive physical effort.

2. Enhanced Control & Safety

Gear operation allows slow and controlled opening and closing, preventing sudden pressure surges in pipelines.

3. Long Service Life

High-quality body materials such as Cast Iron (CI), Ductile Iron (DI), Carbon Steel (CS), and Stainless Steel (SS) ensure corrosion resistance and durability.

4. Cost-Effective Flow Control

Compared to gate valves and globe valves, butterfly valves are more economical, lightweight, and easier to maintain.

5. Wide Application Range

Suitable for water, air, gas, steam, oil, chemicals, slurry, and wastewater systems.
