Ball Valves for Automation with Pneumatic or Electric Actuator
At CEMATIC, we offer ball valves designed for automating industrial processes. All of them feature an ISO 5211 mounting pad, allowing for direct coupling of pneumatic or electric actuators. Furthermore, we deliver them assembled, calibrated, and tested. Therefore, you do not need to make any adjustments during installation.
What makes these valves special?
The key lies in their design. Thanks to the ISO 5211 mounting pad, any compatible actuator can be coupled in minutes. This reduces installation time and eliminates assembly errors. As a result, your process starts faster and with greater reliability.
Materials, connections, and specifications
Below you will find the main configurations available. In addition, all are compatible with pneumatic or electric actuators:
| Body Material | Connection | Seat | Recommended Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stainless Steel 316 | NPT Thread | PTFE | Chemical and general industrial processes |
| Stainless Steel 316 | ANSI 150 / 300 Flange | PTFE / TFM1600 | High pressure, oil, energy |
| Stainless Steel 316L | Hygienic Clamp | PTFE | Food and pharmaceutical industry |
| Carbon Steel (WCB) | ANSI 150 / 300 Flange | PTFE / Metal | Oil, gas, mining, steam |
| PVC | NPT Thread / Socket Weld | PTFE / Viton | Water, irrigation, low-pressure chemical |
Comparison: Pneumatic Actuator vs. Electric Actuator
These valves are compatible with two types of actuators. Therefore, below we show you their differences so you can choose the best option according to your process:
| Characteristic | Pneumatic Actuator | Electric Actuator |
|---|---|---|
| Energy source | Compressed air | Electric current |
| Operating speed | Very fast | Moderate |
| Opening type | ON-OFF | ON-OFF and modulating |
| Hazardous areas (Ex-Proof) | Yes, natively | Yes, Ex-Proof version available |
| Initial cost | Lower | Higher |
| Position control | With additional positioner | Integrated (modulating) |
| Available torques | From 15 NM | From 15 NM up to 500 NM |
| Ideal for | Fast and repetitive cycles | Precise flow control |
Industrial applications
Our ball valves for automation are used in a wide variety of industries. For example, they are common in chemical, food and beverage, and pharmaceutical. They are also widely used in water and wastewater treatment, oil and gas, energy, and manufacturing. In summary, they are the solution for any process that requires automatic flow control.
| Industry | Typical Application | Recommended Material |
|---|---|---|
| Food and beverage | Flow control in production lines | Stainless Steel 316L, Clamp |
| Pharmaceutical | Clean and sanitary processes | Stainless Steel 316L, Clamp |
| Chemical | Corrosive fluid handling | Stainless Steel 316, PVC |
| Oil and gas | Control in high-pressure lines | Carbon Steel WCB, ANSI 300 |
| Water and treatment | Distribution and irrigation systems | PVC, Stainless Steel 316 |
| Manufacturing and energy | General process automation | Stainless Steel 316, WCB |
