Krishna Industries is a leading Supplier, Wholesaler, Exporter, Distributor and Trader of premium quality Wafer Type Butterfly Valve in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. With strong expertise in industrial flow control solutions, we supply precision-engineered butterfly valves designed for durability, performance, and cost-efficiency across Indian industries.

Our wafer type butterfly valves are widely used in water supply systems, chemical processing plants, power generation units, HVAC systems, fire fighting networks, oil & gas pipelines, irrigation systems, and general industrial applications. Designed for quick installation between flanges, these valves offer lightweight construction, low pressure drop, and efficient shut-off capability.

Long Introduction – Industrial Wafer Type Butterfly Valve for Indian Applications

The Wafer Type Butterfly Valve is one of the most versatile and cost-effective flow control devices used across industrial sectors in India. It is a quarter-turn rotary motion valve that regulates or isolates flow through a rotating disc mounted on a shaft. Compared to traditional gate valves or globe valves, butterfly valves offer compact design, lighter weight, lower installation cost, and faster operation.

At Krishna Industries, we specialize in supplying industrial-grade Industrial Butterfly Valve, Cast Iron Butterfly Valve, Ductile Iron Butterfly Valve, Resilient Seated Butterfly Valve, and EPDM Lined Butterfly Valve for demanding Indian industrial conditions. Our wafer type design is engineered to fit between two flanges using bolts that pass through the entire valve body.

Indian industries require durable, corrosion-resistant and maintenance-friendly valves due to varying water quality, chemical exposure, temperature fluctuations, and heavy-duty usage. Our wafer butterfly valves are manufactured using high-quality raw materials such as Cast Iron (CI), Ductile Iron (DI), Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel (SS 304/316), and are available with EPDM, NBR, PTFE, or Viton seats based on application requirements.

These valves are widely used in municipal water distribution systems, STP and ETP plants, cooling towers, process pipelines, slurry handling, compressed air lines, and fire hydrant systems. The compact wafer body reduces overall weight and installation cost, making it ideal for Indian infrastructure projects where budget efficiency is critical.

What is a Wafer Type Butterfly Valve?

A wafer type butterfly valve is designed to maintain a seal against bi-directional pressure differentials to prevent backflow in systems designed for uni-directional flow. It achieves this with a tightly fitting seal such as an O-ring, gasket, precision machined body, and resilient seat.

The wafer style allows installation between two pipe flanges with bolts passing around the valve body. It is one of the most economical butterfly valve designs available in the Indian market.
