Electrically Actuated Butterfly Valves

The lug type butterfly valve with an electric actuator is used to regulate the flow of liquids or gases in a pipe system. It consists of a circular disc that turns on a shaft to open and close the flow. The disc is fixed to the shaft with lugs — projecting arms that carry the weight of the disc and provide a means of bolting the valve into the pipe system. The valve is operated by an electric motor that turns the shaft to open or close the disc. Valves of this type are widely used in industrial and commercial pipe systems where precise control of the flow is required.

Where Is the Electrically Actuated Lug Type Butterfly Valve Used?

Electrically actuated lug type butterfly valves are a butterfly valve variant used in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications where liquids or gases have to be controlled precisely. Common uses include:

• Water treatment plants: to regulate the flow of water through filters, pumps and other equipment.
• Chemical processing: widely used in chemical plants to control the flow of corrosive or hazardous chemicals.
• Power plants: to control the flow of steam or other fluids through the pipe system.
• Oil and gas industry: to control the flow of oil or gas through pipelines.
• Food and beverage industry: to control the flow of liquids and gases in processing and packaging.
• HVAC: used in heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems to control the flow of air or other fluids.
