Pneumatic Actuated Valve Manufacturer in India
Speciality Valve supplies pneumatic actuated valves engineered for reliable on/off and modulating control across oil & gas, power, water, chemical, marine, mining, and HVAC services. We size each package (valve + actuator + controls) to your torque/thrust, differential pressure, temperature, and media—delivering complete, field-ready solutions.
What We Automate
Quarter-turn
- Ball: floating, trunnion, 3-piece, 3-way/4-way, V-port/segment ball
- Butterfly: concentric (resilient), double-offset (high-performance), triple-offset (metal-seated)
- Plug: sleeved plug, eccentric plug
Linear / control
- Globe control valves: single-seat, cage-guided, angle-body, Y-pattern
- Angle-seat / piston valves (fast-cycle utilities, steam, CIP)
- Diaphragm valves: weir and straight-through
- Pinch valves (slurry/solids)
- Knife gate valves (slurry, pulp, wastewater)
How It Works
Instrument air drives a rack-and-pinion or scotch-yoke actuator for quarter-turn movement, or a diaphragm/piston cylinder for linear stroke. For on/off service, a solenoid pilots the actuator and limit switches confirm end-of-travel. For modulating control, a smart positioner converts a 4–20 mA or 0–10 V signal (or digital bus) into precise valve position with diagnostics.
Advantages
- Fast, repeatable strokes with high cycle life
- Spring-return fail-safe or double-acting configurations
- Compact ISO/NAMUR interfaces for easy maintenance and upgrades
- Compatible with corrosive, abrasive, high-temperature, and slurry duties (correct trims/liners)
- Low fugitive-emission packing options available
