1. Introduction to Butterfly Valves
Butterfly valves are integral to industrial flow systems, acting as a control device that regulates fluid movement through pipes. Unlike traditional gate or globe valves, butterfly valves offer lightweight design, easy operation, and efficient control—all with a compact structure.
At Aironex, our butterfly valves are engineered for precision control, ensuring smooth operation, minimal leakage, and long-term performance in critical systems.
2. Who We Are – Aironex’s Commitment to Quality
Aironex is more than just a manufacturer—it’s a trusted engineering partner. For years, we’ve been delivering high-performance valve solutions that meet the toughest industry standards.
Our team combines engineering expertise with state-of-the-art manufacturing to create products that stand up to rigorous operational demands. Each Aironex butterfly valve embodies our promise: precision, performance, and reliability.
3. Understanding the Butterfly Valve
At its core, a butterfly valve is a rotating disk that controls flow by turning on an axis perpendicular to the fluid path. When open, the disk aligns with the flow direction, allowing maximum passage; when closed, it seals tightly to stop flow.
This simple yet effective design makes butterfly valves a preferred choice for industries needing quick shut-off, space efficiency, and low operating torque.
4. Key Components and Functionality
An Aironex butterfly valve consists of:
Body: Houses the internal components and withstands system pressure.
Disc: Rotates to control flow and minimize pressure drop.
Seat: Provides a leak-tight seal when closed.
Shaft: Connects the disc to the actuator.
Actuator: Enables precise manual or automated control.
Each element is precision-engineered to ensure smooth operation and longevity even in challenging environments.
5. Types of Butterfly Valves Offered by Aironex
Aironex provides a comprehensive range of butterfly valves to suit varied operational needs:
Concentric Butterfly Valves – Ideal for low-pressure applications.
Double Eccentric Butterfly Valves – Designed for high performance and minimal wear.
Triple Eccentric Butterfly Valves – For extreme conditions requiring zero leakage.
High-Performance Valves – For industries that demand the ultimate in reliability.
6. Double Eccentric Butterfly Valve
Also known as a high-performance butterfly valve, the double eccentric design offers enhanced sealing and reduced friction. The offset disc allows the valve to open and close smoothly, reducing wear on the seat and extending its service life.
Aironex double eccentric valves are perfect for high-pressure systems, providing tight sealing and low torque operation even under harsh conditions.
7. Triple Eccentric Butterfly Valve
For the most demanding environments, Aironex’s triple eccentric butterfly valves offer absolute precision. The triple offset geometry eliminates rubbing between the seat and disc, ensuring zero leakage and extended durability.
Applications include refineries, power plants, and marine systems, where reliability under high temperature and pressure is non-negotiable.
8. Materials and Construction Excellence
Every Aironex butterfly valve is manufactured from premium-grade materials selected for strength, corrosion resistance, and longevity.
Common materials include:
Stainless Steel (SS316, SS304) for chemical resistance
Carbon Steel for strength under pressure
Duplex Steel for corrosion and wear protection
Nickel Alloys and Bronze for specialized environments
These materials ensure your Aironex valves maintain integrity even in aggressive media and high-temperature operations.
9. Low Torque, High Efficiency Design
One of the standout features of Aironex butterfly valves is their low operating torque. This design reduces actuator size and energy consumption—saving both space and cost.
Precision machining and balanced disc geometry guarantee smooth operation and efficient flow control, even in high-cycle operations.
10. Compliance with ISO, API, and ASME Standards
Quality and compliance define Aironex. Every butterfly valve is manufactured in accordance with:
ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems
