High-performance electric butterfly valves start, stop, and throttle the flow of compatible media for high-pressure applications in various applications and industries, such as wastewater treatment, chemical manufacturing, and gas and oil. They use an electric motor to operate, provide precision control over valve positioning for throttling applications, and close quieter and faster than pneumatic butterfly valves. Butterfly valves are compact, lightweight, and have a slim profile that minimizes pressure drops and ensures efficient flow.
