Pneumatic Actuated Ball Valve

Pneumatic actuated ball valves use compressed-air rotary actuators to turn a ported ball through a quarter turn. They support automated on-off control in chemical processing, oil and gas, and industrial fluid systems.

Reliable automated isolation is essential in industrial pipelines that handle liquids, gases, and compatible process fluids. Valves Only Canada supplies pneumatic actuated ball valves in Canada for industrial facilities requiring fast operation, dependable shut-off, and integration with automated control systems. These valves combine a quarter-turn ball valve with a pneumatic actuator powered by compressed air. The actuator rotates the ball to open or closes the flow passage, while the valve body, ball, seat, and actuator are selected according to operating pressure, temperature, media compatibility, and control requirements.

Features 

  • Compressed-air-powered actuator for automated valve operation. 
  • Quarter-turn design for rapid opening and closing. 
  • Reliable shut-off with compatible ball and seat configurations. 
  • Double-acting or spring-return actuator options. 
  • On/off or modulating control, depending on actuator and accessories. 
  • Remote operation through compatible PLC and DCS systems. 
  • Full-port or reduced-port designs, depending on valve configuration. 
  • Body and trim materials selected for process media compatibility. 
  • Flanged, threaded, or other available end connections, depending on model. 
  • Suitable for water, oil, gas, and compatible industrial process fluids.
