What is Motorised butterfly valve?
A motorized butterfly valve operates by changing the position of a round disc that is located within a pipeline. The disc is the size of the pipe circumference, which allows it to create a reliable seal during instances when it is necessary to restrict or stop the flow of process media.
Are butterfly valves good for flow control?
Unlike gate valves, butterfly valves can be used for throttling or regulating flow as well as in the full open and fully closed position. The pressure loss through a butterfly valve is small in comparison with the gate valve.
Is belimo a good company?
Belimo is a financially stable company with an excellent product. Although it is not a top payer, the salary is acceptable. The benefits are competitive for the size of the company. Poor middle and upper management.

What is a motorized valve?
A motorized valve is a valve type that use an electric motor to open or close its mechanism. This type of valve is ideally suited to very large valve types or remote fluid control applications such as aircraft deicing, agricultural irrigation,and automated fire suppression.
What is butterfly valve not suitable for?
Disadvantages of Butterfly valve Disc movement is affected by flow turbulence. The valve disc is always under pressure and can interrupt the flow even in an open position. Poor Sealing function. Not suitable for high differential pressure.
How do I know if my butterfly valve is open or closed?
When the handle is parallel to the valve, it is closed, and when it is perpendicular to the valve, it is open. Butterfly valves are suited for use in garden irrigation, and they are also commonly used in space-restrictive applications.
Do Butterfly Valves have a flow direction?
The butterfly valves are bi-directional but do have a preferred flow direction. It’s however strongly recommended to install the valves in the preferred flow direction, as it will extend the valve’s life span and will also lower the operating torque.
