Actuated Gate Valve
Actuated Gate Valve
An Actuated Gate Valve is a robust and highly efficient valve solution designed for automated control of fluid flow in pipelines. Unlike manual gate valves, this version is equipped with an electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic actuator that allows remote operation, precise control, and seamless integration with process automation systems. The gate mechanism slides vertically between two seats to start or stop the flow, providing a full-bore passage with minimal pressure drop when open. This makes it an ideal choice for systems where frequent operation or remote accessibility is required.
These valves are particularly suited for applications involving large pipelines, high-pressure systems, or hazardous environments where manual operation is unsafe or impractical. Built from heavy-duty materials such as cast steel or stainless steel, actuated gate valves offer excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term performance. With the ability to be operated from control rooms or automated systems, they improve operational efficiency, safety, and system reliability in demanding industrial settings.
