Valve actuators can bring many benefits to an operation, including reduced maintenance costs, increased uptime and better safety. There are many more benefits and reasons why you should use an actuated valve, so continue reading our helpful guide to discover the top five reasons to invest.
The primary objective for an actuated valve is to move a valve into an open or closed position. It attaches to and works in conjunction with two parts: the valve pilot and the valve body.
As manufacturers crave for more productivity and efficiency, the need for actuated valves has become more important. Here are five reasons why you should use an actuated valve for your application:
Actuated valves allow for greater control and visibility of a system. If using a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) or Distributed Control System (DCS) type system, it&#;s easy to communicate with valves and get a feedback signal to confirm that they&#;re in the position needed. When valves are manual, the door to operator error is left open.
The ability to remotely control a valve allows operators to stay safe. An actuated valve lets operators keep away from extreme hot and cold temperatures. It also allows them to stay clear of hostile environments, such as those with noxious gases.
In an emergency situation, an actuated valve goes into fail safe positions, whether that&#;s fail open or fail close. Pneumatic actuator valves will use a spring return, while an electric actuator valve has a back-up battery to allow for fail safe positioning.
A valve actuator takes one more thing off the mind of an operator when an emergency occurs.
When an actuator valve is involved, there are a great deal of cost-savings to be had for manufacturers. The operator is always in contact with the valve actuator. This ensures that the valve is open to just the right percentage, avoiding any wastage that would lead to an increase in costs.
When a valve is manually operated, there is a risk not only of wasted materials but of potentially ruined product due to manual operational errors.
Actuated valves are brilliant when valves can&#;t be easily reached manually. Whether that valve is located high above or down too low, if it&#;s actuated it can be remotely controlled.
This is another aspect of the safety that actuated valves can bring. It gives operators easier control of the valves and stops them from potentially risking injury by trying to control hard-to-reach valves.
Large valves can be difficult to close with a manual wheel, while fluid viscosity and velocity can have an impact on how much torque is needed to close the valve. Requiring operators to close large valves with manual wheels against rushing water is going to cost a lot of man hours and cause a decrease in productivity. It may also increase the risk of injury.
The company is the world’s best Electro Pneumatic Valve supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.
Setting up a valve with the appropriate valve actuators can make sure you have the right amount of force to turn or lift the valve every time.
Automation in the process industry is increasingly commonplace these days because actuators enable valves to operate with ease and reliability.
BM Engineering stocks quarter-turn actuators, which suit (but are not limited to) our ball valves and butterfly valves. We have the ability to add control and indication features, such as position feedback and Namur solenoid valves.
We also have in-house testing facilities for AS-i, Exi and 4-20mA control valves. Various other types of actuated valves are also available on request, such as angle seat valves, globe valves, diaphragm valves, 3-way valves, and electric actuated valves.

What are the key advantages of a pneumatic actuator that makes the device one of the most popular and commonly used mechanical devices across industrial markets? Pneumatic actuators are by far and away one of the most required mechanical devices across today&#;s market and in Process Industry Forum&#;s latest article, we look to at the reasons why.
Pneumatic actuators serve a mechanical motion to an application through the compression of atmospheric air. These devices are ideal for applications serving a variety of purposes, including those housed within applications that operate under potentially explosive environments. Here are the 5 key advantages of a pneumatic actuator that put it at the top of a plant manager&#;s list.
Pneumatic actuators can deliver high force and fast speeds of movement when used in linear motion control applications. This is down to the usage of air pressure and flow within the device.
Overheating is not a problem of concern with pneumatic actuators, regardless of how excessive the use of the application is. These devices can sustain constant pressures in comparison to alternative devices and therefore offer a longer-term of use
When it comes to functionality, the pneumatic actuator is viewed to be highly reliable. This is thanks largely to the high control that can be maintained on the conversion of gas to energy. The fact that as mentioned already, they are also highly durable means that performance is of a high standard and these devices have a long life span.
Pneumatic actuators are the preferred device for use when it comes to applications where hygiene is essential. This is largely down to the use of air as opposed to fluid, with the compressed air being free from harmful chemicals, therefore protecting the application from contamination. This, of course, is critical within the pharmaceutical and food and beverage industries.
Thanks in part to the fact that it is easy to install and maintain, the pneumatic actuator is often seen as the cost-effective choice when it comes to industrial applications. Of course, the benefits above are probably considered more important from a practicality standpoint, but in the current economic environment, the cost is still very much at the forefront of every application manager&#;s mind.
