Introduction to Butterfly Valves

Butterfly valves are a vital component in industrial piping systems, designed to regulate, isolate, and control fluid flow. The valve’s design features a rotating disc that acts as the closure element—much like a butterfly flapping its wings—allowing for quick shutoff or flow adjustment.

Their compact size, lightweight structure, and cost-effectiveness make butterfly valves an attractive alternative to bulkier gate or globe valves, especially for large-diameter applications.

Why Aironex Stands Out

At Aironex, we believe that performance should never be compromised. Our butterfly valves are engineered using state-of-the-art technology and stringent quality control processes to ensure that every unit performs flawlessly from day one.

Core Advantages of Aironex Valves

• Reliable sealing for zero-leakage performance.

• Smooth flow control with minimal pressure loss.

• High-torque efficiency reducing actuator stress.

• Custom design options for specific industry needs.

We’ve built our reputation by merging innovation with dependability—qualities that make Aironex the go-to name in flow control.

A Decade of Engineering Excellence

With more than ten years of hands-on experience, Aironex has continually refined its manufacturing process to meet evolving industrial demands.

Our team of expert engineers brings together mechanical precision, advanced materials science, and real-world insight to create valves that set the standard for durability and performance.

From the first CAD drawing to the final quality inspection, every valve that leaves our Ahmedabad facility carries the hallmark of engineering excellence.

Precision Manufacturing in Ahmedabad, Gujarat

Located in the industrial heart of Gujarat, Aironex’s manufacturing facility is equipped with modern CNC machinery, automated testing stations, and dedicated R&D labs.

This strategic location allows us to:

• Source high-quality raw materials quickly.

• Ensure efficient production cycles.

• Deliver to domestic and international clients on time.

Every Aironex valve reflects the city’s spirit—innovative, resilient, and globally competitive.

Understanding Butterfly Valve Design

Butterfly valves are designed for simplicity and strength. The central component—the disc—rotates 90 degrees to open or close the valve, controlling the flow of liquids or gases.

Design Types

• Wafer Type: Compact and economical; ideal for space-limited setups.

• Lug Type: Allows for easy installation and removal from pipelines.

• Double Eccentric (High-Performance): Offers superior sealing in high-pressure applications.

• Triple Offset: Designed for zero-leakage and critical process systems.

How Aironex Butterfly Valves Work

When you turn the handle or activate the actuator, the disc rotates around its axis, either aligning parallel to the flow (open position) or perpendicular to it (closed position).

Aironex ensures precision alignment, reducing wear on internal parts and minimizing torque requirements. The result? Smoother operation and extended valve life—even with frequent cycling.

Key Components and Construction

Every Aironex butterfly valve is meticulously crafted from premium-grade materials, ensuring reliability in demanding applications.

Essential Components

• Valve Body: Made from carbon steel, ductile iron, or stainless steel.

• Disc: Streamlined design for low resistance and consistent flow.

• Seat: Available in EPDM, NBR, or PTFE for enhanced sealing.

• Shaft/Stem: Precision-machined stainless steel for strength and corrosion protection.

• Actuator Interface: Compatible with pneumatic, electric, or manual systems.

Each part is engineered for balance, durability, and precision, ensuring reliable performance across its lifespan.

Material Selection and Corrosion Resistance

Material selection is a crucial factor that determines valve performance. Aironex uses materials that withstand temperature variations, chemical exposure, and mechanical stress.

By selecting the right materials, Aironex ensures longevity, safety, and reliability across all operating conditions.

Performance Under Pressure

Aironex butterfly valves are designed to perform under the most demanding industrial pressures and temperatures.

Performance Highlights

• Withstand high-pressure conditions up to 25 bar.

• Operate effectively across a wide temperature range.

• Deliver tight shutoff performance even in vacuum conditions.

That’s performance you can rely on, shift after shift.

Applications Across Industries

Aironex butterfly valves are not limited to a single industry—they serve as universal flow control solutions across multiple sectors.

Primary Applications
