Pneumatic Fluorine-Lined Butterfly Valve

Jan 29, 2026 Leave a message

The pneumatic fluoropolymer-lined butterfly valve is an automated control valve that combines a pneumatic actuator with fluoroplastic lining technology. It is specifically designed for applications requiring highly corrosive media, rapid response, and remote operation. It uses compressed air to drive the valve plate to rotate, achieving media shut-off or regulation. It is widely used in automated process control in chemical, pharmaceutical, and environmental protection industries.

Fluorine-Lined Pneumatic Butterfly Valve Structural Principle

  • Pneumatic Actuator: Powered by compressed air, the pneumatic actuator (such as piston or rack and pinion type) converts air pressure into mechanical energy, driving the valve stem to rotate. The actuator can receive 4-20mA current signals or 0-10V voltage signals for remote automated control.
  • Fluoroplastic Lining: The valve body, disc, and seat are lined with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), perfluoroethylene propylene (FEP), or soluble polytetrafluoroethylene (PFA), typically ≥3mm thick, forming a corrosion-resistant barrier to isolate the medium from metal components.
  • Disc Design: The disc is circular, rotating 90° around the valve shaft to open and close. The centerline sealing structure ensures the disc and seat are concentric within a 360° circumference, providing bidirectional sealing. Pressure and flow can be freely adjusted.
  • Sealing System: Employing four-stage loading elastic sealing technology, the system utilizes a special transition curve at the connection between the shaft and disc, elastic O-rings, and a combination of metal gaskets to ensure zero leakage both internally and externally. Some models are equipped with adjustable elastic ball positioning, ensuring accurate positioning and a simple structure.

 

Fluorine-Lined Pneumatic Butterfly Valve Performance Advantages

  • Strong Corrosion Resistance: The fluoroplastic lining can withstand extreme corrosive media such as concentrated sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, aqua regia, strong alkalis, and organic solvents. It has a wide applicable temperature range (PTFE: -20℃ to 150℃; PFA: -20℃ to 180℃).
  • Excellent Sealing Performance: The soft seal (fluororubber + PTFE) structure achieves zero leakage. It maintains its sealing performance even after more than 50,000 pressurized opening and closing cycles, making it suitable for conveying high-purity and toxic media.
  • Quick and Effortless Opening and Closing: Opening and closing can be completed with a 90° rotation of the butterfly plate. The opening and closing torque is small, requiring minimal effort, making it especially suitable for large-diameter valves.
  • Precise Flow Regulation: By controlling the input signal of the pneumatic actuator, the butterfly plate opening can be precisely adjusted, achieving accurate percentage regulation of the media flow rate, meeting the needs of chemical reactor feed control, etc.
  • Compact and lightweight: The wafer-type connection design saves space and reduces weight by 30% to 50% compared to flanged valves, facilitating installation and maintenance.
  • Long service life: The fluoroplastic lining is anti-aging and wear-resistant, resulting in low maintenance costs, 5 to 10 times that of metal valves.
