Stainless steel ball valve Elephant BVFPT-ISO.304.180 three-part, body material - stainless steel SS304, seal - PTFE, flanged, full port, pneumatic actuator Elephant DA, limit switch block APL-410N EX

A stainless steel ball valve is a reliable and versatile device for controlling the flow of liquids and gases in various industrial sectors. Made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, it possesses high strength and can withstand both high temperatures and pressures. Ball valves are easy to operate, provide secure sealing, and minimize the risk of leaks, making them an ideal choice for use in the oil and gas industry, water treatment plants, the food industry, and other areas where a reliable and durable valve is needed to regulate the flow of substances.

Ball valve Elephant model BV3131P(3pc)-FP-F-ISO-H PA-DA APL-410N Ex is used as a shut-off valve in heat supply systems, water supply systems, in steam, fuel and pneumatic systems with compressed air and neutral gases. The valves of this series can be installed in systems transporting liquid and gaseous media (water, oil, oils, steam, air, alcohols, glycol, etc.) that are not aggressive to the valve materials.

PA-DA pneumatic rotary actuators are designed for automation of control process of industrial shut-off valves - gates, ball valves. Elephant pneumatic actuators are designed for operation both indoors and outdoors. All internal and external parts are anticorrosive coated.

The APL-410N EX limit switch unit is designed for visual and electrical signalling of valve end positions. It is mounted on top of the pneumatic actuator surface and connected to the actuator shaft - DIN standard. The sealed box usually contains two sensors which monitor the position of the actuator shaft and signalise the end positions. Visual indication of the position can be observed on the unit body there is a 3D visual indicator RED-CLOSED and GREEN-OPEN.
