INOXPA A480/A490 Butterfly Valve
A480 and A490 butterfly valves, used in food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries, are easy to install and maintain, and can be operated manually or automatically.
Sanitary butterfly valves A480 are versatile and reliable flow control solutions designed for use in a wide range of liquid product applications across the food-processing, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. Whether operated manually or automatically, these valves ensure optimal performance in processes that demand precision, hygiene, and durability. Their design makes them an ideal choice for industries that rely on maintaining strict sanitary standards, as they are constructed to minimize contamination risks while providing efficient flow control for liquids of varying viscosities.
A key feature of the A480 series is its compatibility with different operational settings. The design of the butterfly valve between flanges A490 makes installation and maintenance exceptionally easy. By utilizing a simple yet effective mechanism, the valve can be extracted with just four screws, while the flanges welded to the installation remain securely in place. This facilitates quick disassembly and reassembly, reducing downtime for maintenance and allowing for a more efficient cleaning process. This feature is particularly important in industries where regular sanitation and upkeep are essential, ensuring both safety and uninterrupted production.
In addition to their manual operation with a handle, these sanitary butterfly valves can also be automated through the use of an actuator. For sanitary pneumatic butterfly valves, the actuator converts the axial movement of the piston into a precise 90º rotary movement that is transmitted to the disc, ensuring quick and accurate control of the valve’s position. Whether it’s completely open, fully closed, or in intermediate positions, the actuator offers reliable and consistent operation, making it ideal for automated systems where efficiency and precision are crucial. The manual option allows operators to block the valve in either the open or closed position, with some models offering additional intermediate settings for more controlled flow adjustments.
This combination of flexibility and ease of use makes the A480 series an excellent choice for a wide array of applications, from regulating the flow of ingredients in food production to controlling the movement of chemicals in pharmaceutical manufacturing. The durable construction, sanitary design, and adaptable operation ensure that these valves can meet the stringent demands of modern industrial processes while offering long-lasting performance and minimal maintenance requirements.
