Speciality Valve takes pride in being a leading Wafer Butterfly Valve Manufacturer in India, supplying high-quality valves to regions including Maharashtra, Kerala, and Madhya Pradesh. The wafer butterfly valve, with its compact and wafer-like design, is strategically positioned between flanges in a pipeline, offering a space-efficient solution for fluid control. Distinguished by the absence of extended lugs or flanges, these valves ensure a simpler and cost-effective installation process.

What is a Wafer Butterfly Valve?

A Wafer Butterfly Valve is a type of flow control device used to regulate or isolate the flow of a fluid within a system. Its unique design resembles a thin slice or “wafer.” When the valve is closed, the disc is turned to block the flow of fluid. These valves are commonly used in various industrial applications due to their compact design and ease of installation.

How does it work ?

A wafer butterfly valve operates by using a disc mounted on a central shaft to control the flow of fluid within a pipeline. The disc is typically installed between two flanges, hence the name "wafer," and is designed to rotate within the valve body. When the valve is open, the disc aligns parallel to the direction of flow, allowing fluid to pass through the pipeline with minimal obstruction. Conversely, when the valve is closed, the disc rotates perpendicular to the flow, effectively blocking the passage of fluid.

The rotation of the disc is controlled by a handle or actuator connected to the valve shaft. By turning the handle or activating the actuator, the disc can be precisely positioned to regulate the flow of fluid. This design provides quick and efficient flow control, making wafer butterfly valves suitable for a wide range of applications across various industries.
