Durable One-Piece Disc and Shaft Design

The valve’s one-piece disc and shaft assembly, which features a centric bearing design, is engineered for optimal safety and reliability. This assembly is resistant to blowout and includes a comprehensive safety sealing system. The disc is coated with virgin PTFE, providing a minimum thickness of 3 mm. This durable liner offers excellent resistance to chemical corrosion and wear, ensuring long-term performance even in the harshest conditions.

The shaft of the valve is supported by a triple-bearing system that is entirely maintenance-free. This advanced design provides superior guidance and stability to the shaft, reducing wear and extending the valve’s service life. By eliminating the need for regular bearing maintenance, these valves minimize operational downtime and associated costs.

One of the standout features of EBRO’s PTFE-lined butterfly valves is their innovative sealing system. The proven sealing design between the valve disc and the body liner eliminates critical transitional zones, ensuring safe and long-term operation.

The valves are equipped with double sealing at both shaft passages as a standard feature, enhancing their reliability and preventing leaks.

The sealing system incorporates two levels of protection:

  • Primary Sealing: Achieved through a maintenance-free Belleville spring washer assembly, this pre-stressed sealing mechanism ensures a tight and reliable seal.
  • Secondary Sealing: EBRO’s safety sealing combines PTFE gaskets and additional O-rings for an added layer of protection, further enhancing the valve’s sealing integrity.

The PTFE seal itself is isostatically pressed, with a liner thickness of at least 3 mm. This design not only improves durability but also ensures effective double-sided sealing of the flange, providing optimal performance under a wide range of operating conditions.

The inner contour of the valve body is carefully engineered to enhance contact pressure on the resilient elastomer backing of the PTFE liner. This optimized design minimizes unnecessary stress during opening and closing operations, preventing damage to the liner and ensuring smooth functionality. Furthermore, the liner features a stable and durable design, with faying surfaces of the shaft sealing that are isostatically pressed for maximum stability and precision.

EBRO’s PTFE-lined butterfly valves feature shaft sealing surfaces that are mechanically machined to achieve an accurate fit. This precision minimizes the risk of damage to the PTFE material, which can be prone to issues during improper recovery. By avoiding forced adjustment, the construction guarantees the longevity and efficiency of the valve.

The sealing surface of the valve is free from critical transitional zones, allowing for flawless 360° sealing of the passage area. This comprehensive sealing ensures zero leakage and enhances the valve’s performance. Additionally, the opening and closing torques are optimized to provide efficient operation, reduce wear, and extend the valve’s service life.

EBRO’s PTFE-lined butterfly valves are built to conform to the highest industry standards. The top flange design meets EN/ISO 5211 specifications, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of actuators.

Conclusion

EBRO’s PTFE-lined butterfly valves combine innovative design, high-quality materials, and precision engineering to deliver unmatched performance and reliability. From their maintenance-free components and durable sealing systems to their compliance with international standards, these valves offer a comprehensive solution for demanding industrial and chemical applications. With features that minimize downtime, reduce maintenance, and ensure long-term functionality, EBRO’s PTFE-lined butterfly valves represent a smart investment for operators seeking exceptional performance and durability.
