TOP ENTRY BALL VALVE

A ball valve is a common piece of industrial equipment that works by allowing fluids to flow through it. The valve’s stem is connected to a manual control mechanism, such as a handle or lever. The stem turns a rotary ball that is attached to a stem that controls how it opens or closes. The valve is also typically controlled by an electric or pneumatic actuator. When used in the manufacturing process, a ball valve can regulate fluid flow by adjusting its float. The ball disc is the third most important pressure boundary inside a ball valve. The disc is made of steel, and in its closed position, the pressure within the media acts against it. Ball valves also have a seat, which can be mounted or suspended. The seat provides a place for the ball disc to rest. Often, a ball valve is made of forged steel and has a seat attached to it. A ball valve can be used in industries where sanitation is very important. A ball valve that can withstand a high level of sanitization is especially valuable in the bioprocessing, food, and pharmaceutical industries. They can handle both liquids and solids. If the fluid contains solids or fibrous material, a ball valve can handle both. 

Cast Steel Trunnion mounted ball valves allow easy and smooth operation at high line pressure. Carefully aligned bearings assist low torque operation. The ball is fixed in position but free to turn. All Casted Trunnion Ball Valves manufactured by Vatac are with reliable high quality castings and fire safe design certified according to BS 6755, API607 & API 6FA. Meet all applicable ASME standards.
