What is a Geared Ball Valve?

Reducer Ball valve; It is a quarter-turn rotary valve that uses a spherical shaped disc to stop or start flow. It is defined as a mechanical device that directs and modulates the flow of various types of liquids through the opening of a sphere with an opening in the middle of the valve. By turning the handle on the valve, it manually opens/closes the port that controls the pressure from the flow of fluid. Durability and excellent shut-off are features that make the ball valve advantageous over other valve types.

Ball valves designed for actuator mounting operate with 90 degree circular movement and are compatible with both pneumatic and electric actuator mounting.

What is a reducer?

A reducer is a means of reducing motion energy or power in a mechanical system. It is generally used to reduce or change the rotated power of motors. It can also be used to increase the speed and torque of mechanical systems. Gearboxes consist of a series of gears and shafts and are usually made of metallic materials. Its usage areas are very wide and it can be used in industrial machinery and equipment, vehicles, household appliances and even some toys.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Ball Valves

Advantages

Fast on-off operation
Low torque tight sealing
Smaller in size than most other valves

Disadvantages

Conventional Ball valves have poor throttling properties.
In slurry or other applications, suspended particles can settle, become trapped in body cavities and cause wear, leaks, or valve failure.
