Actuated Valve Solutions

We offer a wide range of actuated valves here at ValvesTubesFittings.com, much of what is available is manufactured by Genebre. This is especially true when we are providing pneumatic actuated valve solutions. The latest range of pneumatic actuators from Genebre have a built-in visual open and shut indicator; therefore, reducing the cost of actuation when this is specified. We can offer other forms of actuated valve solutions including electric actuation and electro-pneumatic control valves, globe valves, butterfly valves and more.

Valves available for actuation include ball valves in brass, carbon steel, stainless steel and plastics. Butterfly valves in the same range of materials, bellows sealed globe valves in carbon and stainless steel as well as piston and needle valves to suit every type of installation. For further information on what we offer in actuated valve solutions, contact our knowledgeable sales team with your enquiries and or orders.

Actuated Ball Valves

For your actuated valve solutions, we offer high-quality actuated ball valves in materials to suit your process. Although we are extensively a Genebre distributor, we can offer valves from many other manufacturers. But our fallback product is always our range of high-quality Genebre valves. Genebre ball valves for actuation are available in brass, carbon steel and stainless steel; and for this blog, we will look more closely at our very competitive range of stainless steel ball valves.

Genebre actuated stainless steel ball valves are available in two-piece and three-piece versions providing solutions for many different mediums. In our threaded version, the ball valve we actuate more often than not is the Genebre Art2025. This three-piece stainless steel BSP threaded ball valve is available as a standard version with 15% filled PTFE seats. The maximum working pressure on the standard valve is 63 bar with a maximum working temperature of 180°C at 10 bar. With replacement seats, the same valve is rated for higher temperatures and is the valve we normally offer for process steam installations.

Another popular stainless steel ball valve suitable for actuated valve solutions is the flanged two-piece version. The Genebre Art2528 from 15mm (1/2″) to 50mm (2″) is PN40 flanged and from 65mm (2 1/2″) to 200mm (8″) it’s PN16 flanged. Temperature ratings for the Genebre Art2528 vary across the size range, with valves from 1/2″ (15mm) to 4″ (100mm) rated at 180°C at 10 bar and the 6″ (150mm) and 8″ (200mm) valves rated at 135°C at the same pressure. Higher temperature replacement seats are available for these Genebre valves, contact our sales team for prices and more information.

Actuated Butterfly Valves

Our comprehensive range of butterfly valves from stock are in the main manufactured by Genebre, we can, however, offer alternative manufacturers products including Ebro, Keystone and Orbinox. Our latest Genebre stock of actuated butterfly valves is now WRAS-approved in wafer pattern and lugged and tapped versions. This quality valve can be actuated to suit many applications for the water and food industries. Genebre butterfly valves are available in ductile iron GGG-40, cast iron GG-20, and 316 stainless steel.

The Genebre Art2104 stainless steel butterfly valve in our range of actuated valve solutions has PTFE seals and a 316 stainless steel disc. The Genebre 2101 butterfly valve has the same seats and disc with a ductile iron GGG-40 body, this offers a different price option when the conditions allow. What must be noted when looking at the PTFE-sealed version when actuating butterfly valves is the requirement for a larger actuator; allowing for more torque if the seats harden under working conditions.

Popular Actuated Butterfly Valves

The most popular valves in our actuated, manual or gear-operated versions of our Genebre butterfly valves are the Art2108 lugged and tapped in ductile iron GGG-40 and the Art2109 wafer pattern in cast iron GG-20. The Art2108 as previously stated has a ductile iron body GGG-40 with a 316 stainless steel disc, EPDM seats and an NBR steam seal.

The Art2109 wafer pattern has a cast iron body GG-20 with a stainless steel disc, EPDM seats and an NBR steam seal. Both these actuated valve solutions have a maximum working temperature of 120°C; talk to our sales team to see which of our butterfly valves is suitable for your application.

All the above-mentioned Genebre butterfly valves are available in lever, gear or actuated versions. Offering solutions to a wide range of applications across many industries. The ART 2103, 2108 and 2109 valves carry WRAS approval for applications across the water industry in the United Kingdom, additionally, these same products have similar approvals across the European Union.

Actuated Control Valves

As well as offering the on/off versions of actuated valves, we can offer actuated valve solutions for total control of many types of systems. Whether for steam air water or chemicals, we have to valves and the knowledge to assist just about any business. For valve sizing and pressure drops, we can advise on many applications from a wide range of sources. We are distributors for Genebre and TLV products and have a growing relationship with Samson Controls.

In recent months we have offered business solutions from Siemens as well as our more established products. Our control valve solutions have crossed many industries including brewers, dairies, rubber processing, coating and the food industry. Applications we have successfully sized for include pasteurisers, black pudding cookers, distillers, beer, bakery ovens, pet food cookers and pharmaceuticals.

Actuated Valves For Process Steam

We have had very particular success in working with process steam applications and have included a whole range of products other than actuated valve solutions. In fact, in the process steam applications we have supplied complete steam systems and a myriad of advice and assistance to both contractors and end users.

Working with our business offers a one-stop shop to purchase control valves as well as all the other components required to put together and install complete pipework systems; as always contact our excellent sales team, who can also put you in touch with our technical sales team.

Whatever the actuated valve solutions your business is looking for, we are confident that our business can provide the products and information required. We have been trading for over thirty years and have a very experienced sales team, some of who have been with the business virtually from the start. In fact, at present, one of our internal team joined us just after leaving school over twenty-five years ago. Come and use our collective knowledge as your tool for future actuated valve solutions.
