Motorized Gate Valve: A Complete Guide to Operation, Components, and Applications

Introduction In modern fluid control systems, the motorized gate valve — also known as an electric sluice valve — plays a vital role in regulating the flow of liquids and gases. Unlike other valve types, a gate valve operates by lifting a barrier, or “gate,” out of the path of the fluid, allowing unobstructed flow. This simple yet highly effective mechanism enables minimal pressure drop when the valve is fully open, making it ideal for pipelines where maintaining flow efficiency...

Comprehensive Guide to Butterfly Valve Actuation Methods

Introduction Butterfly valves are one of the most widely used flow control devices in modern piping systems. Their simple yet efficient design allows them to regulate, isolate, or throttle fluid flow with ease. At the heart of their operation lies a rotating disc, often referred to as the “butterfly,” which turns on a central shaft to open or close the passage. When the disc is parallel to the flow, the valve is open, and when it is perpendicular, the valve is closed. Unlike ball valves...
