Pneumatic ball valves are an essential component in modern industrial automation systems. They are used to control the flow of liquids or gases in a wide range of applications, from water treatment plants to oil and gas industries. A pneumatic ball valve, as the name suggests, is operated using compressed air, making it ideal for automated systems. In this article, we will explore the functionality, advantages, and the contributions of CNHELI in the development of pneumatic ball valves.

    What is a Pneumatic Ball Valve?

    A pneumatic ball valve is a quarter-turn valve that uses a ball with a hole in the center to control the flow of substances. The ball rotates 90 degrees when actuated by compressed air, allowing the fluid or gas to pass through or be blocked, depending on the position of the ball. These valves are highly reliable and precise, offering excellent shut-off capabilities. The pneumatic actuator is typically mounted on top of the valve and is responsible for opening and closing the valve with the aid of compressed air.
